Hi Friends and Family. As most of you know by now, Todd and I are having a baby! I know, I know...we didn't waste any time getting here considering we're still newlyweds but we couldn't be more excited to start our family.
A few of my good friends from college have kept online journals of their pregnancies and I've decided to follow in their footsteps. Living so far away it was fun for me to keep up with the changes they were going through and also feel a little bit closer to them. Hopefully you will feel the same way.
Right now I'm about 13 weeks pregnant. Supposedly the little guy (or gal) is about the size of a jumbo shrimp. Earlier this week we were able to hear the heartbeat which was incredible. As we were waiting for the doctor I remember telling Todd that sometimes I didn't really believe I was pregnant (even though I had all of the obvious symptoms and the doctors had, in fact, confirmed it). Well, if there was any doubt it was gone as soon as I heard that little heartbeat. 154 beats per minute with a few kicks thrown in here and there - that was pretty amazing.
