Ultrasound!

Well we had our first ultrasound today! It was done so they could determine how far along I am. I am 8 weeks and 2 days! They ran out of thermal paper so i wasn't able to get a printed picture but we did have our phone and took pictures and a sound clip of the baby's heartbeat! The video doesnt show much I put it on here mainly for the sound. The baby is about 2 inches right now. My next apt. at the Birth Center is on Feb. 4th. So until then I probably wont have much more news. We are so very excited and happy!

New to all of this!

I started this blog because my brother and sister in law (Jeremy and Holly)made one when they found out they were pregnant with Baby Lukas. I thought it was such a great way to stay in touch with family and friends far away! Hopefully this way Chris and I can keep you all up to date with whats going on in our lives and our pregnancy.

As many of you know, Chris and I had planned on having a wedding in November. Since we found out i was pregnant we decided to do it a bit earlier! So next week, January 15th at 5pm we will be saying "I do" at the court house in Downtown Tucson. From there my Mom and Step Father (Sonia and Danny) have set up to have our reception at their home. It is all going to be so wonderful, We are so very lucky and thankful!

As of right now we do not know exactly how far along I am. My last few periods were very different for me, so until we have the ultrasound done in a week or two I'm going to say I'm 8 weeks. Whoever named it morning sickness is out of their mind! They should have called it 24/7 sickness! That's how it is for me at least, nauseous at all times. Hopefully mine reduces some after the 14th week or so!

We are planning to have the baby at the Tucson Birth Center. It is an amazing place! Everything there makes you feel at home. The birthing rooms are the best! Each one has a nice big wooden bed, a rocker, a birthing tub and private restroom. I love it! Chris and I saw one of the midwives for the first time yesterday. Let me tell you, they are so wonderful there! They really make you feel at home and at ease. They were able to answer every question I had. The midwife said that since we aren't sure exactly how far along I am that she believes i am between 8-16 weeks. I know, that's a huge gap! Soon we will have a more clear answer. We even think we may have been able to hear a faint little heartbeat from the baby!

Hopefully next time I'll have an ultrasound picture of even a video for all of you to see!
