First Ultrasound Picture

We finally found a scanner and were able to make the ultrasound photos digital. It is kind of blurry and there really isn't much to see at this point, but you can make out the head, eyes, nose and mouth. The legs are tucked behind the body so you are unable to see them. So far so good!

Take Care,

First Ultrasound

I had an appointment today to try to hear the heartbeat. I am now almost 11 weeks along. After three tries, with three different types if doppler's the nurse was not able to hear the heartbeat. Being the professional that she was (and knowing that I was sorta freaking out), she offered to do an ultrasound. Aaron could not be with me, but luckily I had my good friend, Lauri, there for support. We trooped to the ultrasound room and everything went perfectly. The reason she was unable to hear the heartbeat was because my uterus is tipped backwards, which happens in about 25% of women and it is not a cause for worry.

We could see the head, eyes, nose, mouth, arms, legs. It was moving around like crazy. The heartbeat is 166 beats per minute, which is very good. Honestly, it sort of looks like an alien.........

I am going to try to get the pictures in digital format, so I can post them.

Hope all is well,

Sarah

First Pre-Natal Appointment

We had our first pre-natal appointment with our midwife on Friday, March 9th. In my opinion, it was a bit anti-climatic. At the time of the appointment I was only about 8 and a half weeks pregnant, so it was to early to hear a heartbeat. That will be at the next appointment in a few weeks. Thus far only blood was drawn and hopefully we won't have any problems.......

Take Care,

I am posting a belly shot of me at about 9 weeks. I wish I could say it was baby, but it is all bloat!

We're Having A Baby!!!!

Hi,

Aaron and I found out we were having a baby at the beginning of February. We are very, very excited, but sad because so many of our close friends and family live far away and will not be able to share this with us. So, we decided to create a blog so people can check in and see the progress. Please feel free to post whenever you like or just browse.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Love,

Sarah and Aaron
