It's official . . . IT'S A GIRL!

Yesterday, Jeremy and I went and had a gender test ultrasound done and found out that we are having a little girl! We couldn't be happier and it just makes it even more real that we're going to be parents soon!

Ready for our newest ultrasound. . .

Last week my mother in law, who is an OB nurse at the hospital, was able to take us up there and give us an ultrasound to see our little one. . .



I'm getting very ansy because next Thursday, the 13th we will be going down to find out what we're having! I'm so anxious to be able to buy something either blue or pink! Jeremy insists that we're having a boy (of course) but we'll see! Considering the fact that I have now had 3 dreams that it was a boy, I'm kind of leading that way too. :)

Baby's first picture!!

Well today we went in for our first ultrasound! Everything is right on track where we thought. . . 9 weeks and 5 days pregnant. The heart was beating at 176 beats per minute. She said that's fast, but perfectly normal for how far along I am. It was amazing seeing the little heart flutter on the screen! It makes it completely official now. Even though I've taken tests...seen the doctor...Just seeing the amazing being on screen right before your eyes is so surreal.

First OB appointment!

Well this afternoon, Jeremy and I went to our first Dr.'s appointment. She did a TON of blood work, asked us a TON of questions and did an internal exam. She said that everything looked great and that I'm right on schedule at almost 10 weeks! (Due October 8th, 2010)
I'm so excited because tomorrow I get to have my first ultrasound!

Valentine's Day

This morning Jeremy decided to get up and make me a wonderful breakfast for Valentine's Day. He made me the only thing that sounded good at the time . . . a waffle with peanut butter and butter (with no syrup!), while he enjoyed some hashbrowns, toast and bacon. (Even though the bacon smell is really starting to get to me right now). hehe
There was a beautiful bouquet of pink roses waiting for me on the table as well. I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband who is going to be an even more amazing daddy.
We didn't do much today as I was up all night last night not feeling well. So we just decided to have a nice quiet day at home watching movies and being with each other! :)

I'm Pregnant!!!!!

Well it's official . . . I'm preggo! I can't believe it. The first official month that we start trying and here we are! We feel so truly blessed by God's grace. I think it's going to take a little while for it to kick in that I'm going to be a Mom! Wow . . . It'll click one day! :)

We took our first test yesterday and got a very faint line, so I went and got a blood test. They said after 5 minutes of testing it was negative, but after 6 minutes it was positive. So they wanted to re-test me in a few days. Well sure enough I did my own at home tests (2 tests, both different brands and they both came back positive!)

I will be four weeks tomorrow and I'm already feeling the symptoms. . . awful nausea, frequent urination . . . you know, all the fun stuff! But I just look at it as "This is going to be so worth it!"

Family Time

This weekend my brother, sister-in-law and nephew from North Dakota came out. We hadn't seen them since last Christmas.My mom also flew up from Arizona to see us. We were so excited to have them here! It was so nice to have this little family gathering. With them living so far away, we really don't get to see them very often. We are also very excited because my brother Josh and sister in law Katie are expecting their second child, a boy! At least we won't have to wait very long for them to come back out, because they will be coming again in June after the baby is born!
