Our little peanut


Keith didn't blog it so I have to:) It has just been an amazing 24 hours. Last Tuesday of course we found out that we were pregnant, but that was not good enough for Keith, so we tested again on Wednesday:). With all the scare of the last m/c we have been on guard this time. Yesterday they scheduled us to go in and find a heartbeat. (Side note this is the same lady that did the u/s the last time.) So we got in the room with the lady and she was going over how it would all work, etc. So when she began to do the ultrasound we thought she said there was no heartbeat. But she was so happy for us that she said it too fast. She said there is a heartbeat, as we looked up on the screen and saw this little thing just pounding, a since of relief came on me. But then she turned on the sound and we were able to hear it and everything, "babump babump"! What a sweet sweet sound. Keith was so excited that he got his iPhone (funny thing I did spell check and it corrected iPhone, oh technology:)) out and took a picture. She said that most likely the heart just started beating within the last 48 hours. The baby/embryo looks like a peanut:) that is how the tech kept referring to it. The total length I believe is .44cm, big baby huh?:).

I just can't explain the joys of hearing the heartbeat.

Oh for those of you who wonder what the sex is......there is a 50% chance it is a girl!:)

Can't wait to meet this baby on 4.14.10!

Maybe one of the most awsome experiences you will ever have. You will never foget yesterday, all though you might temporarily loose sight of it when you are nine months preggers, cant see your toes and feel like a beached whale. Or when you learn exaclty what an episiotomy is. Or when they tell you that you have to wait six weeks to.....maybe I should stop there. By the way, I cried when I told Brett yesterday. He told me I was a dork :)

To add to Heather's post . . . or when you realize that the size of the Father could determine the size of the baby you'll be delivering!

Awesome, awesome news.
