I am so thrilled and excited to tell you that Kevin and I are gonna be a MoMmY & DaDdy come August!! We are so excited, anxious, and nervous all at the same time!! We actually found out the first week of December, but somehow kept it a secret for 2 whole months!! I still can't believe I held it in for that long as I am terrible at keeping secrets!! But I did:-) We just wanted to go to the doctor for total confirmation of it all first before we told anyone! So i first had to go take a pregnancy test at the doctor's office for them to confirm that I was indeed pregnant before they would do anything else for me. Then I got to go back in 2 weeks for the first ultrasound!! We got to see the itty bitty baby and hear it's heartbeat for the first time!! Wow...that was so amazing and completely brought tears to my eyes! God is soooo good!! We found out that day that we were due on August 27, 2009!! So exciting!!
So, on January 11 we just had to make a quick trip home to tell our families before we exploded!! They were all pretty shocked, but definitely excited!! It was a fun time!!
Then on January 26 we went back to the doctor for our 10 week check-up and everything went great and was looking good! She said everything was progressing as it should be, so we were very thankful to hear that! She also did a 4D picture of the baby for us which is absolutley AMAZING and soooo precious! It's so hard to believe to look at that picture and know it's inside of my belly!! I am posting the picture below for ya'll to see, but for some reason I could not get it in regular picture size:-( But if you look real hard you can see our little angel! It looks as though he or she is either crying or being shy one! It has it's little fisted hands over it's eyes! So precious to look at...and yes I'm a little partial of course!!
Our next appointment is February 23. She told us that we should be able to determine the sex of the baby if he or she cooperates!! I can't wait to find out so I can start buying things!! Kevin and I both have been calling it a HIM all along, but she told us that we may be surprised based on that fast heartbeat!! So we shall see...hopefully in 3 weeks! Say a lil' prayer that the little booger will cooperate for us on that day! ha ha! And I will definitely be letting you all know as soon as I find out so stay tuned!!
We would greatly appreciate your prayers as our little gift from God is being formed and growing!!
