So far, so good!



Above is an older picture, but one we think is really cool. It was taken at 9 weeks 5 days, and if you look close, you can actually see each of the little toes. The U/S tech assumed the foot was about 1/2 cm at the time of this photo.  

I did have a minor (ok, it seemed major at the time) scare on Sunday morning. We went into the hospital and had an ultrasound, long enough to see the baby bouncing around and to see an excellent heart beat. It turns out I had a small tear in my placenta, because of this, my doctor has me on lifting restrictions which means I cannot work. So, I have been taking it easy. I have another check on December 13th, I anticipate she will send me back to work. 

We had an appointment at 11 weeks and met with our regular OB, then had our first trimester screen done this morning, I am 12 weeks and 4 days. What a relief to hear the doctor say 'everything looks perfect.' 

Thats all for now, here's to expanding waist lines and elastic!

Blogging...something I have never thought to actually do myself, although I do stalk the blogs of people I know. I never felt I had a sufficient topic to blog about... until now. With the encouragement of my sister and a few friends, I am taking the leap into the blogging world. After all, what a great way to document our life, and the changes that are about to come.

We are having a baby!

As many of you know, we have had a challenging time to get to where we are today. After heartache and heartbreak in January, we are happy to report that our life, as we know it, will officially be turned upside down, and we are totally ok with it.

So, stay tuned, I hope to update on a regular basis. :)
