Welcome to our first blog posting! This blog was created so that we can share our news and photos with our friends and family. We are so blessed with all the love and support, encouragement and excitement, and questions we've received from everyone.
I had my first ultra sound yesterday and it went really well. I was nervous, which I think is normal, as I laid on the table while the technician took all the measurements the Dr. requires. She didn't say much so I wasn't sure if everything was normal or OK. The she jumped up, with a big smile, and said she would go and get Dave. Once he came into the room she showed us the first image of our baby.
It was the most intense and surreal feeling I've ever had. The little guy is 4 cm long and I am 11 weeks along. He has two legs, two arms, a huge head and a heart beat. We were silent as we just stared at the black and white screen while the little guy moved around. This baby is already a little rocker as he/she was moving his/her arms up and down like he/she was pounding on drums or listening to Iron Maiden. It was awesome! The technician showed us a couple of different angles and reassured us that we're only having one baby.
We'll be visiting the clinic again in about 8 weeks for a more detailed ultra sound. We also want to find out the gender of the baby so we'll have the opportunity to then. We are so excited and feel so blessed with this special gift.
I also feel a bit of a relief knowing that my first trimester is almost over. December was a really hard month. I got the worst flu of my life that took me about three weeks to get over. I didn't have an appetite whatsoever, which was especially hard at Christmas. (My mom even made her TACO SALAD and I could only eat a little). Once I got over the flu, I instantly felt the wrath of morning sickness. It lasted about two weeks but felt like two years. Fortunately these past couple of days have gotten much better. I'm in better spirits. I'm friends with food again and I haven't been sick in the mornings. But, I'm just going to take it day by day.
Keep posted for more updates coming soon.
