We are expecting!

On July 22, 2008 we found out that we are expecting!  We are very excited and a little nervous.  As of right now I am 13 weeks and 4 days and the projected due date is March 30th!  The picture above shows the baby from a profile view.  The head is on the right and at the top you can see the spinal cord.  My mom's birthday is April 1st and my mother-in-law's birthday is March 28th!  We have great timing.  I have had 3 ultrasounds and we got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time on Wednesday, September 17th.  It was amazing to see the baby moving around and flipping all over the place.  The glucose syrup may have had something to do with it since I was getting tested for gestational diabetes.  I think we may have a future gymnast or diver.  As of right now, Chris and I have decided not to find out the sex of the baby.  We told the doctor our decision and she marked it in my chart.  My next appointment will be October 14th and I will be 16 weeks (4 months).  I have been battling morning sickness (all day is more like it) and I feel really tired.  I am really looking forward to the second trimester.  I believe I have one or two more weeks, but I have one more week of work until we have our intersession break at our school.  I can use the rest!  Chris and I cannot wait until we meet our little one and we wanted to share our news and updates about our baby with family and friends.  Please visit the site often and feel free to contact us.  We would love to hear from you and thank you for keeping us in your prayers!
