Yes, it's true. WE ARE EXPECTING A BABY and could not be more thrilled! The last few weeks since we found out have flown by- a whirlwind of excitement, joy, relief, nausea, and a little fear. We have been wanting to be at this stage for about a year now, so the positive test could not have come sooner. We went to our first appointment yesterday to get pictures of our Baby K, and it was soooooo amazing. I have never felt anything like it- seeing a blob (which Dan and I are still disagreeing as to which side the head is on) with a heart beat pumping out of its chest. I am about 8 weeks along, and everything that will be inside this little one is already there (though not fully developed). Dan is convinced it can hear us already (even with his medical training) so we have already been talking to baby and introducing ourselves. We have had a blast telling our families and more recently our friends about our new life change. In order to document these exciting times, the day we found out went out to buy a video camera. We videotaped our families reactions and it is my new favorite movie! We are thrilled to share this season with quite a line up of new babies expected to arrive between June and November this year. Here in St. Louis a good friend Allison is about 4 months ahead of me and it is such a blessing to have a friend to ask advice of, share excitement with, and decorate and shop for baby with. I am counting down to the end of the first trimester when I hope to get some relief from all-day sickness and nausea so I can maybe start this "glowing" I hear about but haven't experienced... Anyway, thanks for reading and sharing our good news! Check back soon to see our "Telling the world about Baby K" video...
Sorry, this is a picture of a picture (so its backwards). Baby K is about the size of a kidney bean. We got to see the heart beat coming off the top of the blob. We're pretty sure baby's head is down and to the left in this pic...
