12 weeks and 3 days!! Time to share our news!

WooHoo, we're 12 weeks and 3 days. I went in for an ultrasound this morning and got to see the little one wriggling and kicking all over! At one point he (no, we don't know if it's a he) put his hand up on his face and I got to see 5 fingers.
So, we are now telling people-which is fun. It's seems so strange to let our big secret out, and not just have it for ourselves anymore. It was definitely tough not letting it slip :o) We love that we can share our joy!! Pardon the quality on the vids, they were taken from an odd angle and really I missed some of the best parts. But, at least you can hear the heartbeating at a whopping 154 bpm this time....and see the baby doing acrobatics.

I'm still feeling fine! Still want a little nap in the afternoon, but I'm fortunate not to have morning sickness or any other ailments.
Jamie is doing well too, he is working his tail off at the baseball fields this season. They love him there! TTFN, another update coming July 7th. We're happy to have you all along following our journey.

Amazing the Difference 3 Weeks Makes!

SOOOOO very happy tonight after having our 2nd appt today. I'm 10 wks 1 day! I've never had a good second appt, and even the doc was anxious. Jamie and I got to catch up and laugh while waiting , and waiting, and waiting for Dr. G. But, he's so worth the wait. It takes him so long because he truly cares to talk with you about any and every question or concern. I don't think I could ever be in better care. He and his staff are truly the best, and definitely a blessing to us.

When he first put the stuff on my tummy I must have been holding my breath, because as soon as we saw that little heart beating, I gasped for air. We were very relieved to say the least. Immediately everyone in the room thanked God.
As we talked and the doc took measurements, the most exciting thing happened. The baby woke up and started moving and waving his arms!! I could have watched for hours. J and I both agreed that was the COOLEST thing EVER!!

We'll get to see those little arms and legs kicking and moving before we know it.

As for me, I've been feeling great. I've been napping on days when I can, and have been having to get up once during the night-but other than that, I've been feeling pretty much normal. Yeah!!
As for James, he is also feeling great :o) It's fun talking to him about what all is going on. He's a good hubby and is going to be such a good Daddy!

We thank everyone who is praying for us-the power of prayer is amazing.

Matthew 7:7-11 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

We have a heartbeat!

We went to our 1st doctor's appointment on May 19th, 2010 and got to see and hear our tiny little ones heartbeat! It was overwhelming ! Such relief swept over both of us as we held our breathe in anticipation of the flicker. Jamie asked if the heartbeat was strong, and the doctor said it was. It was beating 156 bpm. Thank the Lord! Our doctor and his nurses have been with us through this whole process 100%, they are so sincere and caring and I think they were genuinely as excited as us! I told the doctor that , "now we just need to make it through the first trimester!" and he promptly added, "and the 2nd and the 3rd!" So true! Jamie and I are so excited to be parents and we pray everyday that this baby arrives healthy, and safe. It's really scary after miscarriages to be pregnant again. We want this so bad, and know it's in God's hands-nonetheless, it's scary.

I take Lovenox injections daily to thin the blood and prevent clots, it's more of a safety precaution than anything else. It's not that bad-at first the idea of injecting myself in the stomach everyday was anxiety producing, but since I knew it had to be done, I promised myself the first shot that I wouldn't hesitate or flinch. I didn't and it wasn't too tough for me, although I think it was for my sweet husband who waited with baited breath.

I go back to Dr. Garcia, my OB/GYN in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see the progress.
