10 Weeks, 4 Days

Well, the Ultrasound puts the baby's growth at 10 weeks, 6 days, but that's how far along I am! I'm trying to get this written before the nausea gets really bad again (yes, still battling the nausea - no fun).
Our first appointment with our OBGYN was today, and it went great! The baby's heart beat is at 167 bpm, and the Doctor said everything looks healthy with the baby. The head and spine are forming how they should, and he didn't see any complications thus far. Our next appointment is in about 3 weeks, and I will get the results from my blood panel then (getting my blood panel done this week).
Jason and I were so excited to see the baby! At first the baby was very still. It looked like the baby was sucking it's thumb (which you can see in the pictures), but I don't know if it really was since I don't think it can do it this soon in development. Towards the end of the Ultrasound, the baby suddenly started moving like it was jumping around or dancing. It was so amazing! So here are the pictures from the ultrasound, and a little 3D 180 degree picture scan. Enjoy!!!

Exciting News

(The font is acting strange, sorry in advance!)

Sorry it's been ages since our last update. Things have been crazy busy! This post won't be quite as long either, because I don't know how long I can last without feeling sick! So for those of you who don't already know, the big news is....
We're Pregnant!!!
It's very exciting, and very exhausting! I have had horrible morning sickness for the past couple of weeks. I was finally put on some medication yest
erday to help ease the sickness (wasn't able to keep any food or fluids down), and it seems to be helping a lot. I'm finally able to eat again. I'm not 100%, but at least I can eat! Jason has been an amazing husband helping to take care of me. I'm so blessed to have him!
So the pictures below are from the first ultra-sound. Our doctor wanted us to get it done early on to make sure that everything was looking okay. I was 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant, so the baby kind of looks like a smudge :). But it has a heart beat, around 150 beats per minute, and it's healthy and on track with it's size. YAY! We're so excited!
The first picture has an "A" and some plus mark
s to show the size of the baby.
The second picture has a ring looking thing, which is the yolk sac. The
baby is right under it.

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers in our behalf. We'll keep you all updated on the progress! Oh, and I am currently 8 weeks and 2 days pregnant as of today. The Due Date is August 25, 2011.
