Heidi's first update

Hey there everybody I just wanted to give you all an update on how my pregnancy is going so far. It has been an exciting journey so far and I am sure it is just going to keep getting better. I love being pregnant it is such a crazy feeling knowing that there is a little one growing inside of me.

I was a little surprised to find out that we were expecting. We were actually pregnant in August but at the end of August we had a miscarriage which was pretty hard on me. My doctor said that we should wait at least a month before we tried again so I was not expecting a positive test. I am not even sure why I took a test when I did other than I had a odd feeling like I should. I am glad that I did because it showed two pink lines. Yep, I am totally preggers!!!!!!! I showed Chris the test and decided that we needed to set up a doctor's appoint to confirm the test. I went to the OB at the beginning of October and they confirmed that yes we were pregnant and so the journey begins.

We went in for our first ultrasound at 7 weeks to confirm how far along we were and to set a due date. The first ultrasound was really neat you could hardly see anything but you could see the flutters of the heartbeat. I was just so happy to share that experience with Chris it was really amazing to see the first picture of our little baby.

So it is official my due date is June 10, 2008. It is quickly approaching I am 12 weeks already which is crazy. Well this is starting to get a little long so I think I will end with this we got to hear the heartbeat yesterday for the first time which was so great I cried but I know that the baby is going strong and is continuing to grow big and strong and I am looking forward to that next ultrasound.

And before you ask...no we are not going to find out what we are having it is going to be a surprise odd I know but that is just how we are. Well Chris and I are happy that we are able to share this happy occasion with all our family and friends and keep checking back for more updates as we go along.

Luv ya all,
Heidi & Chris
