Our Baby Announcements

By now, most of our family have received their announcements in the mail. Hopefully all of them will start checking out the blog soon and subscribing (Hint Hint). Thanks to Adam for being the first one :)  Here's a look at what we mailed to everyone.

It really isn't school bus yellow, its more pastel.

Another Appointment! - 12 weeks (almost)

Yesterday was another doctor's appointment, I will be 12 weeks on Monday. I was supposed to hear the heartbeat on a Doppler, but our Baby was being stubborn and they couldn't get it to work. I got really nervous really fast!! They took me in for a quick ultrasound so they could check things out. Everything is looking good and the baby's heartbeat is normal. Whew.

4 more weeks until my next appointment.

We put our announcements in the mail last night too ... so you should all receive them soon! We also realized that we are already a 1/3 of the way through this pregnancy, its going by so fast.

I had a little bit of sickness over the weekend, but other than that I am still feeling great.

1st Ultrasound - 7 weeks

Yesterday we had our first "real" doctor's appointment.  Paul was able to come along and I was so happy to have him there with me.  The Dr has confirmed that everything looks great and that our little Baby Dutton will make their arrival around September 2nd!! I am right at 7 weeks.  We were so happy to have the change to see our baby on the screen. Its all starting to feel so real now.

I havent had much morning sickness (luckily) but my breasts have been very sore.  I dont think I am showing yet, but I'll start taking photos next week. Maybe then I will start to notice the difference.  I've had a weird craving for chocolate milk and for those of you that dont know me that well, I HATE MILK of any kind. I've tried to solve it with vanilla ice cream and some chocolate syrup and so far that seems to be working!!

Best Christmas Present Ever!!

After 1 1/2 years of trying & 2 rounds of Clomid, Paul and I finally got our wish with a positive pregnancy test on Christmas Day.  We had actually fallen asleep on the couch Christmas Eve and I woke up super early the next morning with an urge to go to the bathroom. Luckily I was awake enough to remember that it was the first day we would be able to test. Paul got up to start a fire and I went to take the test. After the longest 4 minute wait ever, I ran to the living room with the test in hand.  I think Paul was in shock at first ... I told him "We dont have to open presents this morning because I already got what I wanted."

I dont think it has all set in yet, I feels like it is just a dream. Just to be sure I took another test yesterday .... I didnt even have to wait the alloted time, it instantly changed! I went to the doctor yesterday afternoon for the blood work and I am sure I will spend the day staring at my phone waiting for them to call with the results.  Fingers crossed everything is ok!!!!!
