First Movement

Tonight was the first night that I felt consistent movement from the little one:) I had felt movement here and there but nothing that lasted any amount of time. Tonight during small group i felt constant little kicks for probably 45 minutes. Brian was unable to feel them, but im sure he will soon enough!

Monthly Checkups

Today we had our monthly checkup. Everything looked great! and the babies heartbeat was 158 bpm. Next appt. we will get to find out the sex!

Unscheduled visit

Today today i woke up with what i thought was a UTI. So to the Dr. i went, only to find out that i was perfectly fine! But i was very glad because i got to hear the baby's heartbeat again. That sound NEVER gets old!

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!
