We are at 15 weeks


I just got back from my midwife appt. and she said everything looks great! I heard the heart beat again and she surpirsed me by taking me into the ultrasound room and letting me see the baby real quick. She took a picture but we both agreed it doesn't do any justice to what we saw. I saw the beating heart, and the arms waving. It was so fun. I wish I had an ultrasound machine at home and could see me baby whenever I want to. Well so far so good. I am scheduled for the ultrasound (that will let us discover if we have a boy or girl) on Jan. 13th. That date can't come soon enough. =)
The head is on the left, and you can see a little arm beside its body...you really have to look though.

hi...just starting


This is my first time "blogging". My plan is that now I am pregnant I can show my far away friends and family pictures of the baby when it is born. Can you tell we are first time parents..its all about showing "it" off. =) So hopefully soon we will have more pics. Right now here is a pic. of our most recent accomplishment in progress...Jayme reroofing the house. What a project. He is such a hard worker too.

baby's first picture


This Ultrasound pic. was taken at 8 weeks. (The head is on the left) This was the point when I knew I was really pregnant because as few of you know the heartbeat was really low at first and we thought I might have a miscarriage again, after three agonizing weeks of waiting. I went back for this ultrasound and Praise the Lord....the heart rate was strong and fast! So now I am at 13 weeks and I wont be getting another U.S. until my 19th/20th week....that is when we find out if we have a boy or girl. Just FYI, at 13 weeks the baby is now 3 inches long and weighs about one ounce, its fingers and toes are developed now too. So cool! Please keep us in your prayers. Our due date is May 25th.
