And baby makes 4 (including Athena): If you think this is lame....

....that I have a blog, don't worry about it, I was nervous at first too! Although that means you would have to delete it off your "favorites" where I can imagine its already stored :-) I thought this would be a fun way to give updates and share pictures, and keep it to just family and friends who know about the site. And it helps keep my personal life off facebook where otherwise my 200+ "friends" might be facebook stalking me :-)

So you obviously found this website because you know we are pregnant! The official 12 week mark will be on October 29, 2009, giving us a due date of May 13, 2010. The first trimester went by fairly easily - no nausea, no vomitting - just VERY sleepy and very anxious. Due to some spotting, we had an early ultrasound at week 6 and they couldnt see a baby, and then another one at 7 weeks. At 7 weeks we saw a grey blob (they said it was the baby) and heard the heartbeat!!! It was amazing... At our first prenatal appt (10/17/2009) we got another sneak peak through an ultrasound but it was not an official one with a souvenier photo and we could see, but not hear the heartbeat. Pete has been great so far, he plans on coming to all the appts and the doctors office is open on Saturdays, so no need to interfere with work, school or our otherwise hectic weekdays!

So thats it for now - we have another ultrasound on Nov 7, which serves as an early screening for Downs, and is not invasive...so more to come after that!
