First visit with the Doctor

Today was my first visit with the Dr. All of the other appointments have been with nurses or the ultrasound technician. She did a full exam and then we got to hear the heartbeat with the doppler. He/She was moving around so much that it was hard to catch the heartbeat. Dr. Stevens was having to chase the baby all over the place!

God is Good!

Well this weekend was a little nerve-wracking. I started bleeding a little on saturday night. I called the Dr. and she said not to worry and to come in on monday morning. Of course i DID worry, but on monday we found out everything was fine. Brian was unable to go to the appointment with me because of a fundraiser he had all day for NRCA, so my mom got to go with me. They did another ultrasound, and we got to see the little one moving all around and his little heart beating away! it was such a relief! Mom was so excited that she got to go and i was glad that she finally got to see her first grandchild!

Our Second Ultrasound

We had another Ultrasound today!! They are keeping such a close eye on the baby...its so nice! We saw the little arms and legs! They even showed it to us in 3D which was really neat! We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time too! we recorded the heartbeat so we could let our friends and family hear it too! We also had our prenatal visit and they crammed lots and lots of information into our heads that was way too much to remember!

Telling the Parents!

We went to Richmond today right after our first ultrasound for easter weekend. We showed Brians parents the ultrasound pictures and told them our news. They were really excited, of course! We told my parents about 2 days after we found out we were expecting. We waited longer to tell Brian's parents because we wanted to be able to tell them in person!

First Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound today! We found out that i was 5 and 1/2 weeks along. We got to see the heartbeat! it was so exciting! The baby didnt look like much more than a tiny heart beating, but it was great to see him/her!

second dr. appointment

Today I went to the OB again to have my blood work done for the second time. They wanted to make sure that my hormones were rising like they should. And they were! PRAISE THE LORD!

We are expecting!

Today we found out that we are expecting! We found out this morning before work. I called the Doctors office that afternoon and they wanted me to come in right away for blood work. Tonight all of our friends are coming over for small group. It is going to be really hard not to say anything when we are so excited!
