Baby's First Picture

It's hard to believe but this picture proves it's true. We're 6 weeks 3 days pregnant. Wahoo!! We even got to see the baby's heartbeat yesterday - and boy was it beating fast.

It started on Monday when I started feeling nauseous and really tired. So on the way home I bought a home pregnancy test. The next morning I took the test and it showed two lines. I've never seen two lines before. I got excited but thought that it couldn't be true. (Roger was away so he had no idea.) So then I went to my doctor who gave me a blood test and confirmed that I was in fact pregnant. When Roger got home I gave him a card - a Father's Day card for a new father. He just kept saying "I can't believe it. Are you sure?"

Luckily I called my fertility doctor and unlike a regular ob/gyn they will give you an ultrasound as early as possible. So on Thursday we went for one. And that's when we found out that we were 6 weeks 2 days pregnant and the baby is due around February 3, 2009.

So far I'm still pretty nauseous all the time and a little tired. And Roger is watching me like a hawk and making sure I don't trip or fall out of bed. We can't wait for the next 7 1/2 months to go by. In the meantime, we'll have a lot to keep us busy.
