Makin' Plans!

We know we probably should wait to make any definite decisions, but it's hard not to at least talk about what the future holds.

For instance, we know that we WON'T be naming the baby things like Sven, Inga, Jonesy, or Hillary. (even though we're Democrats...)

We're not going to be THOSE kind of parents who hover protectively over their offspring...like you see in Wifeswap or Supernanny.

Additionally, we will have no problem letting the grandparents babysit as much as they want to. We know that sleep deprivation may be in our future, but the grandparents should help us deal with that!

5 Week Ultrasound...


Here's our first ultrasound image! It's five weeks along, and we go back in two weeks and they say we'll be able to see the heart beating! Amazing!

Inside the tiny black dot is the yolk sac. There's not much to see now, except that it's implanted in the right place, but next time it should be much more vivid!

Second Blood Test...

We had to go for another blood test today, and the nurse called and said our numbers looked "beautiful." We go on Thursday afternoon for the first sonogram. They'll be looking for a "dot" they said, but if they give us a picture, we'll post it!

Due Date?

We're looking at mid-February for a due date. We'll find out more from the doctor when we have our first sonogram next week.

Guess What?


At 1:30 this afternoon, we found out that we are going to be parents! (We had an official blood test from the doctor's office to confirm our home test!)

We are so excited, but have decided to wait a little while before we tell anyone. We've been trying for two years, and we want to get through at least the first seven or eight weeks until we start revealing things. Honestly, we were ready to tell everyone the night we found out, but the doctor suggested we be a little more practical and give it a couple of weeks.

We can't wait to tell all of you, but we will post everything here throughout the next few weeks so that you can revisit all that's happened!
