Baby’s 1st Picture Wednesday, Sep 10 2008 

13 weeks Wednesday, Sep 10 2008 

Hello All! Today was a VERY exciting day. We got to see our baby for the first time! He was very active, moving all over the place, giving us little waves :) We got some really good 4D pictures that we will post as soon as we get access to a scanner. It was too soon to tell if it is a boy or girl but we go back in four weeks for a second ultrasound where we will find out the gender of the baby. They initially thought i might be further along than what they originally told me, which is why we scheduled the ultrasound, but they put me at exactly 13 weeks with a due date one day earlier than what they had first told me. They said the size of my belly seemed normal, that i was showing a little bit more than usual bc my uterus is tilted so forward its pushing everything out. other than that, not really any news. They said the baby looked healthy, he had a good heart rate (162bpm) and was a good size! So, we are looking forward to our next appointment in 4 weeks and are excited to share with you our pictures from today.

12 weeks….or maybe 13 Thursday, Sep 4 2008 

Hello all!

Today was our third doctors appointment and it was very exciting! We got to hear the baby’s heart beat and it was amazing! The nurse said we have quite a wiggler on our hands bc we could only hear the heart beat for about 5-10 beats and then the baby would move and we would have to find it again. He was moving all over the place!!!! I was supposed to be 12 weeks today, but when the doc measured me he said i measure 13 weeks. SO…..drum roll please…..we get to have an ultra sound next week!!!!!! The doctor wants to check things out since he thinks my due date is prob sooner than March 20th. I think he is prob right bc i swear i felt the baby move today. My book says you can start feeling the baby move during the last couple of weeks of your fourth month. I am just beginning my fourth month, but im telling you, i felt it! We are so excited to have the ultra sound bc it is such a tangible sign of our baby’s existence! we wont be able to tell the sex just yet :( but we still will get to see our precious bundle of joy which is enough for me!!!! But, in about 5 weeks we will get to do a second ultra sound in which we will find out if its a boy or girl. So we have two exciting appointments coming up and we cant wait to share there outcome with you. I am sure they will give us a picture of the baby during the ultrasound next week so i will be sure to post it for you all to see!

Love, Ryan and Stace
