6 weeks!



I had had some spotting over the weekend, so first thing Monday morning, Matt and I headed to the doctor to make sure everything was ok with the baby. Here is the first picture of our sweet little one. The cursor arrow is pointing to the tiny heartbeat. Everything looked and sounded perfect: measuring on track with a heartbeat of 122 bpm.

We're Pregnant!

Welcome to our blog! We'll start from the beginning...Normally, this story would be pretty cut and dry, but I tend to have "my moments". I woke up Saturday morning and got out a pregnancy test. I had pulled my back at some point earlier in the week, so it made getting the test in the stream a little difficult. After the required wait time, I studied the test. Now for some reason, I was looking for a + sign so I left the bathroom disappointed to tell Matt. Because my back was pulled, I got back in bed for 30 minutes to lay on a heating pad, but the entire time something kept telling me to look again. This time, I got out the directions to double check, and much to my surprise, the test only needed one line in both windows to be pregnant. Just to be sure, I took a digital test the following Monday before I called the doctor to schedule my first appointment.
