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!!!!!

HOUSE FOR SALE!!

We have found snake #2 in our house!!

Me: Hope you are enjoying your day off, Im having a rough day.
Paul: (attaches photo) Found this dead in basement, took me a while to take the pic. 2.5 to 3 ft long. Thank god its dead.
Me: OMG! Are you ok? Do you think there are more?
Paul: No, snakes live alone and this one had a note around its neck that said he was the only snake that lived here. So lets just go with that.
Me: Can we move?
Paul: No, we cant let the snakes win.
