Our First Baby Photo

So the weeks leading to the first ultrasound were painfully slow and worry-fulled! I went home and slept for hours after we got home from the appointment... getting to see our gummy-bear baby and it's AMAZING heartbeat. What a HUGE relief! So... here's our baby! Our cutie!

Three Days Left!

Three days from now we will be having either the most amazing experience of our lives... or the absolute worst. That's all I'm going to say because, actually, I'm trying to get my mind off everything until then to stay saine.

Praying for a healthy baby and a strong heartbeat!

Short Post

Today I feel like total crap. Tired and nauseous. Blah!

Maternity Clothes!

This is random, I know... but BJ and I stopped by the Gap Outlet yesterday and they happened to have maternity pants on sale for $1.99! I did a scan of the store to be sure I didn't know anyone that might spot me sifting through maternity things... all clear! :) I didn't get the huge belly kind... that felt a little too rediculous.... but I got some great khaki pants with elastic instead of a zipper and button. They. Are. Amazing. Plus... $4 for two pairs!

The Gap Outlet has ruined me for other clothing stores. I'm all, "$14.99 for PANTS?! That's CRAZY talk!".

Feeling Better

Our little alien baby should be looking something like this about now...

Today's Stats:

11 days until our first ultrasound
8 weeks pregnant this week and the baby is the size of a kidney bean
4 weeks ago today we found out about him/her/them

About the Worry:

Everyone knows about the major pregnancy symptoms - but all the articles and books tend to skip over the worst one of all - worry.

Before we got pregnant I was SO SURE we wouldn't... that something more (beyond what they already knew) was wrong with me (I had major abdominal pains) and that this would be impossible for us. I was wrong.

That's kind of comforting now when I have my momentary freak-out sessions (like this morning) where I am so sure it's about to be all over. Then I call my doctor in a panic and she tells me I'm just being crazy (she was nicer than that - but that was the jist).

Peace. Peace. Peace. Cover me!
