Baby Appt

Today I had my first Dr Appt for the baby. First they did the ultrasound which showed that I'm not as far along as they thought. According to my last cycle I should be 8 weeks but the ultrasound shows approximately 6 weeks 3 days. I was figuring 7 weeks so apparently even I was a little off. Other then that everything checked out really well. They have put my due date at December 11th. When they took my blood work I ended up getting pretty dizzy so they gave me a drink and I had to stay there until I started feeling better. This is going to be a long pregnancy because I'm already having a decent amount of morning sickness and I'm tired a lot already.

Here are the ultrasound pictures. You really cannot see much but if you look close I did circle where the baby is.

Easter Happenings

Drew and I both had to work the Saturday before Easter so Mom and Dad came up and watched Emma for us. They took her to the White River Gardens and the Zoo while they were up here. Not that it would have taken much but they definitely had more fun the Drew and I.



Last weekend we headed to Jasper and helped Dad set up for their spring party. The kids had fun hunting Easter Eggs in the Basement and playing together. Unfortunately I forgot my camera so no pictures.

On the down side Emma started coming down with the Stomach Flu after we got to mom and dad's Friday night and starting running a fever on Saturday right before the party started. Drew came down with it on Monday and I ended up with it on Tuesday. Thankfully we are all feeling better now.

Surprise

As some of you already know Drew and I have been trying for a second child for a little over 2 years now. October of last year we decided to go ahead and do some testing to see if we could discover why we were not having any luck. Out of this process we were told that we had maybe a 3% chance of having a second biological child.

Imagine our great surprise when I missed my last period and the pregnancy test came up positive. I'm around 6 weeks right now so really not very far along at all. I go in for my first prenatal visit and ultrasound on April 20th. We have been truly blessed and pray that nothing will go wrong.

Camping

Emma had been telling us that she wanted to go camping and we did not have anything planned for this weekend so we decided to try and give it a go. We left Friday night and took warm cloths because we knew it was supposed to be a little cold that night. Well it got colder then we expected and while Emma slept okay at night she was really cold Saturday morning. We ended up warming up the Van and letting her sit in there for awhile and using the hand dryers in the bathroom to get her warmed up some. Saturday did not warm up quite as much as expected so we decided to head back home mid afternoon and that was a decision we were happy about later. Saturday night/Sunday morning we had a pretty bad storm that would not have been fun in a tent. Overall Emma did have fun on the little trip and she wants to try it again sometime when it is warmer.




By the way I changed the name of the blog so if you want to update your link that would be great.
