Yay!!!!

We had our first dr appointment today! It was great!! They did an ultrasound and Ron and I met with the doctor and talked for a little bit. After that they drew some blood. The ultrasound was awesome! We saw the baby moving (looked like it was dancing a couple times)...have pics of the arms, the legs and lots of whole body shots! Lots of pictures of our little turkey! The ultrasound measured 9 weeks 2 days, I thought I was 9 weeks 3 days...so not too far off. It changed our due date to Nov. 21; the day before Thanksgiving. We will tell our families this weekend as we get the chance. That should be fun!

9 weeks 2 days

Still waiting!

Yesterday I was 8 weeks!!! I thought it was quite a milestone; made me happy! It also means only 9 days left until our first doctors appointment! Finally the countdown is in single digits! I am getting very anxious. I have been feeling good. Still some occasional nausea in the am, but nothing serious. Looking forward to having the doctor tell me this is all truly happening. It still feels very surreal!!
Over the weekend, baby went to his/her first Cubs game. We were in Milwaukee to see the Cubs vs. the Brewers. Cubbies won! He/she will be going to another game two weeks from today. That one is a "real" game....sitting in the bleachers in the afternoon sun.....AHHHH!
It snowed today! Yuk! Almost 2 inches, they are saying there is a possibility of more tonight. Double yuk!!!!

Only 2 weeks 6 days left....

....until we go to the doctor! It finally feels like it isn't quite as far away! Otherwise nothing else is new. We read almost everyday to see what is happening with baby....his heart is beating, he has flippers for arms, he has all 3 parts of his brain, and he is still only 3/8 of an inch long (15,000 times bigger than at conception)! I am starting to feel nauseous in the mornings, but still haven't been "sick". The back pain and cramping (growing pains) are getting better. I am getting more and more tired in the evenings, having trouble staying up past 8pm....which is fine since I am up at 4:15 most mornings to go to the gym! All in all, the 3 of us are doing great!!!
