A year in the making!

We had our first ultrasound today! I'm excited to announce that unless one was hiding, we are only having one baby.  William is thrilled... that it's only one!

6 weeks and 2 days (July 8th, 2011)

We saw the heart beat.  Just barely.  Probably a few days earlier and we wouldn't have.  I'm about 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant.  This makes my due date Leap Day! How fun is that! There is a 1 in 1457 chance of being born on February 29... I did the math.  While I'm not sure what it would mean for birthdays I think it's cool.

I have my next appointment on July 28th, so we would appreciate your prayers until then (well after that too).  My doctor is very kind and recognizes how anxious new mommies can get... especially ones that spent a year trying to conceive. So because of that he said that I can come in before the 28th if I need a "psych" visit.  He said he'll show me my baby any day I want.  Just the thought of not being kept from my baby is so comforting.

I could talk to you about my symptoms... but today is not the day.

I just want to say that I love this child.  I love our baby so much.  It's only 1.34cm long... and I love it.  Even if it looks like a tadpole right now.
