The News is Out!!

We finally told everyone this week that we are pregnant! It feels good to finally have people know! We figured that after having a good u/s, it was time to let people know. I first was a little sneaky though, and posted a picture Lily had drawn of our family on facebook. It took quite a while for anyone to catch the hint, and it took me tagging the photo with new baby for those people to notice!

Lily's drawing of our family:

The new baby is down in the corner...kinda hard to see! Not many people figured it out that day, so the following day, the 20th, I made it painfully clear, by posting a page from "How Fast Times Fly" with our u/s pictures! This time it really was out! YAY!!


Thank you everyone for all the warm congratulations! We really are so excited to be adding another bundle of love to our family!

Now onto the u/s! On 1/19 we had our first ultra sound...the nt scan! Everything went very well! There is one perfect baby in there! YAY! The neck fold measured the way they wanted it too, and my due date is close enough to correct...so I'm keeping it at 8/1/11! The heart beat was 157bpm! Unfortunately the view wasn't as clear as some other u/s's I've had, which was a little sad for our first u/s. Also, baby was not cooperating very well, and the poor tech had to keep jiggling me belly, trying to wake baby up! (my poor full bladder!) Baby slept the whole time, with its back facing us. We had a hard time getting it to turn so we could get a profile view. I could see the baby had it's hand up by it's head, and it seemed to have the hiccups a few times! I cant wait for the next u/s...and hopefully we have a much better view of baby then!

Here are the 3 not so good pictures I got:



Can't wait to meet you little one!
