Just Getting Started

I thought this would be a good idea for friends and family to keep track of our progress that might not be able to see us on a regular basis.



Now to get everyone caught up......

Most everyone knows this came as a surprise for Donnie and me. We had given up hope some time back on having our own child. I just about fell over when I saw 2 pink lines on the test. I could not believe after all these years it finally happen.



I went to the doctor on September 28, 07 and was able to get an ultrasound on my first visit. I was not able to tell the doctor how far along I thought I was so we played it safe and did the ultrasound. I was 10weeks and 1 day. I was so excited. 1st trimester almost over!!



Of course with in days I started in with the "morning sickness". For me it was night sickness. No matter what time of day it comes it is a pain non the less. I also started having a hard time walking. I went to the doctor to make sure it was "normal". Thank goodness, i guess, it is normal. He said because it has been 8 years since I have had a child and I am no spring chicken this pregnancy might prove to be my most difficult. I have learned that if I hurt bad to lay down on my side for a little while and I will feel better.



On October 29 I went to another routine visit. I was able to hear the heartbeat. It is a good strong beat.



My next appt. will be Nove 27th. Then comes the one everyone is waiting for. December 11th (Donnie's Birthday) @ 2:30 we will find out if it is a boy or a girl. Place your bets now.



It is amazing how much I have forgotten about being pregnant over the years. This time feels a lot like the first time. Jena gave me own of her pregnancy books so that I could refresh my memory. That has come in so handy.



I also feel like a first time mom because I need EVERYTHING again. I do not have anything from Jordan and Cheyenne. If you can think of it I need it.



Well, everyone should be caught up on the baby news. I will try to get the 1st ultrasound pictures up but at this time don't have a scanner. Have to go to a friends house to do it. I will also take some pictures of the belly bump.
