We're Having a Baby!

That's right, I'm pregnant. My sister said we had to wait until after her wedding, and technically we did. We're so excited to be starting a family! We were "planning" on a Spring baby, but things happened quicker then we expected, so the due date is January 29, 2007.

We had our first ultrasound at 6 weeks on June 8 and got to see with our own two eyes that there is definitely a baby growing inside me.


6 Week Ultrasound

The baby is the oval "blob" on the left and the round donut shaped thing is the yolk sac.

We had another ultrasound at 8 weeks on June 19 and it's crazy how much the baby already looks like a baby. Or according to Ian, looks like a squirrel.


8 Week Ultrasound

We also got to see the heart beating and that was amazing. It's this small pulsating area in the middle of the baby. Now I can't wait to hear the heartbeat.

It's too soon to know if we're having a boy or a girl, but really we're just hoping for healthy. Let the adventure begin!
