Yes It's True!

Yesterday was such a cool experience that I've been waiting for for sometime. We heard our baby's heartbeat. Yes we are expecting on May 3rd, 2011.

We've known for sometime that we had a bun in the oven but due to having a miscarriage earlier this year we decided to hold off on telling too many people. Today I am 13 weeks along. It hasn't been all easy. I've had so called morning sickness, mostly in the evening since about week 7. I soon found out chocolate was a no. It made me very very ill. I love chocolate and everyone that know me knows I always have some in the house. Then I found out Coke made me just as sick. Ugh!!! My two favorite things, the things I found comfort in no matter the mood, I could longer take in. So I've been weeks without even a drop of either and due to the fact it made me feel so bad I don't even miss it. Well occasionally.

I feel that it could be so much worse so I try really hard not to complain. I think Drew would agree that I've handled it well thus far.

We had an ultrasound at 7 1/2 weeks and I was really nervous walking into it. I just wanted to be at 7 1/2 weeks and not find out that I was going to have to deal with the sickness any longer than I had thought. I also wanted to see a heartbeat to know that this one would hold tight. I was glad to see a heart rate in the 160s.

Taken at 7 1/2 weeks!

We look forward to this journey and our happy to share it with everyone!
