First OB Visit - 8 weeks old

Today I had my first OB visit here in town. I was nervous for most of the day just hoping that everything was alright. I don't get like that often, but the combination of getting another report and starting with a new doctor was a lot to take in one day. Ricky wasn't able to come because he has some projects at work that must be done by tomorrow. We were both bummed that he couldn't come!!! He is much better about asking questions. I totally clam up, smile, and nod my head. I hate when I do that! I did manage to ask for an extra ultrasound picture so Ricky can have one too!

The doctor said that the baby is growing just fine. It looks totally different than it did last time! Bigger and much more defined. I got to see its little heart beating again! What an awesome and wonderful sight!

The good news is we get to go back again in 2 weeks for another check up! This doctor is making sure everything keeps going good and I'm sooooo glad! :) Hopefully Daddy will be able to go and ask a ton of questions!
















Our next appointment is September 9th, so look for another update around that time! :)

Thank you for the Nausea and Fatigue

I'm feeling pregnant these days. My clothes are tight, I wake up nauseous, I eat frequently, and I'm very tired. But I'm grateful for all of these things! Ricky says those are the baby's way of telling me it loves me! It loves me LOTS! :) What a beautiful thought!

We have our first OB appointment on Monday, August 25th.

We're having a baby!

We found out we are officially expecting a baby July 30th. Two days before my 32nd birthday! We were overjoyed and thrilled with this wonderful news! We feel so blessed and thankful to have the opportunity to be parents!

Our first ultrasound was on August 12th. Our baby was 6 weeks old. We got to see and hear the heartbeat (104 bpm).
