ultrasound

We went in for our first ultrasound today. Our tech was super nice and graciously allowed us all the awe of first time parents. (He does this everyday!) Baby was waving and moving around, heartbeat was fast and strong, right in the normal range for first trimester.
The ultrasound tech moved our due date up four days to October 31, 2010 based on measurements.
Unfortunately, all the excitement didn't sit too well with mommy's tummy and breakfast was lost outside in the bushes:(

the belt

the belt has officially moved "up/out" a notch. I can no longer get it to the hole I started on:) But in reality, I don't think the belt will last much longer- too uncomfortable while sitting!

Joing the "club"

Well, I joined the "puking-while-pregnant" club this weekend. Saturday night I bowed before the porceline god for the first...and hopefully last time! Not fun at all...I'm very curious what the evolutionary/biological purpose behind "morning" sickness is? And why only a select few are privledged enough to experience it?

Read today that Baby B is now a fetus instead of an embryo. And if we had an appointment this week, we would probably be able to hear the heartbeat! Yesterday was the first time I really noticed the beginnings of a baby bump too. It's not that I'm bigger than I was, its just that I can't suck it in anymore:)

midwife says...

moved our due date back a week, new due date is set at November 3, 2010...although only 5% of babies are born on their due dates.

The BIG news timeline

Februray 26, 2010: the home test says we're pregnant...we think?! Can we really be sure we're reading that right!

February 27, 2010: the doctor confirms and says we're due October 27, 2010...and we decide there's no way we can keep it a secret, so we start telling family and friends.

March 5, 2010: our 6 year anniversary and the news is out! Even on facebook:) Its nice to be able to share our excitement (and nerves) with everyone.
