August Update

Well, I haven't posted in a while because nothing good has happened this month really until now. To make a very long story short, I had a couple scares with this pregnancy. Every time our little baby has been strong, brave, and a fighter. He or she always has a strong heartbeat and seems to be moving all over the place having tons of fun inside mommy's belly. I can't feel any of the moving, punching, and kicking, but I have seen it and heard it a few time through ultrasounds and the Doppler.

I had another OB appointment today and everything checks out, so I earned an 'A' for week 11-12. Not much else to report at this time. Until we know if we are having a boy or a girl, we feel a little helpless with the baby talk. I'm okay with that because there is always so much to do anyway, that I can wait for a million to-dos on my list to show up in 2-3 months.

Please feel free to write us as we LOVE to receive mail.

Week 8 Day 3 Ultrasound

So we had amazing news from our doctor last Tuesday (Week 8, Day 3). We had one last ultrasound until around week 18. Our little baby (embryo really) measured from head to rump exactly 8 weeks and 3 days. There was one more measurement the doctor took and that was the fluid sac around the embryo's measurement. It also matched an 8 week and 3 day old embryo. Your probably thinking, "Well, that's how it should be." You're right! It should be that way, but our doctor said those two measurements are almost never in sync. I thought to myself right then what a "perfect" baby we have made.

Everything is A-Okay with mommy and baby and daddy is going wonderful too. That's all the updates for now. Oh...still no morning sickness which is a God send. Thank you, Lord, for that.

P.S. The baby this week (Week 9) has graduated already. Can you believe we had a graduation already with this child? Baby graduated from an embryo to a fetus...YAY!!! Also, baby is the size of a green olive and growing like crazy. Apparently it also has all its body parts and knows if it is a boy or a girl, but mommy and daddy won't know for many weeks to come.
