The Heartbeat

Yesterday Travis and I went to hear the baby's heartbeat. It was so much fun. Once he found it, you could hear it real well, but the baby kept moving alot. That might have been because the doctor was pressing pretty hard on my stomach. We wanted to get a recording of it so we could put it on the site, but it would have been to faint for us to hear over the computer. Sorry about that.

The doctor says everything still looks great! I go back on June 5th for my next check up. I am not sure, but I may be able to find out the sex of the baby then. If I can, watch out baby stores cause here I come. I am so ready to start getting things picked out, excuse me, me and my sister are ready to pick things out. I have a feeling this baby is going to be as much hers as it is mine and Trav's. She is already starting to talk to my "belly" and the baby can't even hear yet.

I will post again on June 5th or earlier if something comes up. Hope all is well with everyone. Love!

First Ultrasound

I had my first ultrasound!!!! It was exciting and scary. I was not supose to go see the doctor until May 6th, but on April 26, I started feeling pretty bad and called the doctor. He told me to come into the office on April 28th to have an ultrasound to make sure everything was OK. I never thought I could have such mixed emotions. I was excited about seeing the baby for the first time, but also nervous something could be wrong. Travis and I went in first thing Monday morning and had my first ultrasound. HOW AMAZING!!!! To see the baby's heart beat and watch him/her kick and move around. There are no words to describe how it makes you feel. We were both speechless. I layed there with tears in my eyes and thanking God for such a special moment and a beautiful baby inside me. The doctor said the baby looked great. According to the size of the baby, they said he/she was 11 weeks 2 days old. I was actually 11 weeks 3 days. So that couldn't be any better. The heartbeat was 171 beats per minute.

I am still going to the doctor this week. Instead of going on the 6th, I will be going on the 8th. I will post again if anything changes from now until the appointment. I will also put the pics of the ultrasounds up, hopefully, sometime this week.

OH YEAH!!!! I have not been sick for about a week now. How great that feels. I am starting to somewhat enjoy eating again. Thank God for second trimesters. HAHAHA.

How cute is that little butt sticking up in the air!
