More Baby Pictures

We had our second doctor's appointment today. We were hoping to hear a heartbeat, since we hadn't been able to last time (4 weeks ago, at 9 weeks). The doctor tried for about five (long) minutes to find it with the dopler, but couldn't. Sensing we were discouraged, as was he, he sent us over to the ultrasound side of the clinic. We still weren't able to hear a heartbeat, because they don't recommend using an ultrasound to hear the heartbeat, but we got some new pictures, one of which shows off the cutest little face ever. It was a quick appointment after a long wait in the lobby- we found out later that he was late because he was delivering a baby on the other side of the hospital (good enough excuse for me). We have our next appointment on September 24th and hopefully will be able to tell the gender at our October appointment- and yes, we WILL find out!!!

The Adventures Begin!!!

So if you couldn't tell by the above picture, we're PREGNANT, and I've been getting grief from some folks out there for not posting anything about it on my blog. So here you go, here's a posting.

As of now, we are just under 13 weeks. We are due March 6th, 2011, but I'm hoping to pop perhaps in February. If we do deliver in March, I'm hoping for March 5th, my Grandma Rosie's birthday. We go tomorrow (Friday) for our second doctor's appointment and we're hoping to hear a heart beat- we saw it on the monitor at our first appointment, but we didn't get to hear it. Specifically, we're hoping for a heartbeat of less that 130- a possible factor for having a boy!! I've not experienced much morning sickness, a second characteristic of having a boy...so we'll see.

Mostly, everything is going really well, and I can't really think of anything I would change. I get tired a little earlier at night, and am eating my meals a little earlier, but other than that, I feel great.

Stay tuned for more updates!!!
