Baby Bump Alert!

So the baby bump has finally arrived now that I'm a week away from the half way mark. People said my tummy would literally pop out overnight and that it did. Just in time for Grandma's visit this weekend! Thanks to mom (grammy) the baby's room was painted this weekend and as soon as we find out what we're having the decorating will begin! I'm hoping that they will throw in a surprise ultrasound this coming Friday at the next Dr. appt but if not we'll have 2 more weeks to wait to find out.

Baby's heartbeat

So I had my Dr. visit last Friday and got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the 1st time.  It was pretty cool.  The heartbeat was 140 beats per minute and sounded nice and strong.   I have to go in for more blood tests to check for Downs and Spinabifida.  I set up the ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby and it is scheduled for April 17th (which is 2 weeks later than I had hoped for ).  My mom purchased the baby furniture as our baby shower gift and it was received over the weekend so that all got set up in the baby's room.  We will be painting in 3 weeks, so I will have to post pics when its complete.  

its a baby!

I went to the Dr. today and now the baby looks like an actual baby! It was absolutely amazing to see the baby kicking it's legs and arms. I could not believe how much the baby was moving. The midwife said the heartbeat was very strong and healthy and the size of the baby was right on target. Baby even had the hiccups today and was bouncing around from that.

A Virgo is on the way

As some of you already know, Greg and I are having a baby! I am entering into my 8th week and yesterday we got to see the tiny heart beating for the first time. The baby is now about the size of a blueberry and in the ultrasound picture it is the little thing inside the black circle. We won't know the sex of the baby for about 2 more months. The due date is August 26th, 2009.
