Your little hand waving hi!

 Full body shot =) Your growing right on track.

Here are a couple of "toilet shots" from the dvd they gave us - The tec thinks that you would be a girl!! =) We are hoping so *crossing fingers* mommy has been super sick!

Your heart rate was 149bmp and you rate for downs is 1 in 10,000 which is great!!  Just from the scan alone your odds dropped in to the 80% =) 

Here is the ultrasound video 

Watch "sonoline b fetal doppler - 10 weeks 2 days" on YouTube

It was so wonderful listening to your heart beat today what a sound to our ears. Ur heart is beating away so nice and strong my aunt Julie sent me her doppler to use :)

For the past couple of days I've been feeling what I think are flutters! Tonight as I'm laying in bed, I'm feeling real movement :) 
Tonight has not been fun night time throwing up has to stop :(

Dear báibín,
These past weeks have flown by and man are you making mommy so sick!! I have been sick mostly at night time especially after eating a filling meal. I am enjoying eating fresh fruits and veggies and avoiding red meats. Today we got to see you on the sonogram your little heart was just a fluttering away. Daddy both cried. Your big brother Tanner was there too and was excited to be able to see the baby that was in mommy's belly!!

We are going to be taking pictures to announce our pregnancy with you this weekend. Tanner is going to get a cool shirt to wear!


I havent put on any weight yet however I fill a little thicker everywhere... my bell was nice and flat because I was going to jazzerice everyday (now Im not) and it tends to not wanna stay sucked in. So Im not technically showing yet I just look like I've had too much to eat sometimes!

We love you very much!!


Your Mommy

On August 13, 2012 Jason picked me up from my friends house after being on a weekend cruise for my friends batchlorette party. I had gotten sick multiple times on Saturday and Sunday of the cruise, but I thought it was due to the cruise and drinking. I had been super tired too (jet lag maybe) Well early morning on August 14, 2012 - I had not started my period yet so I had the urge to poas... It flashed the little hour glass to let you know it is working and it took almost 5 mins  to pop up flashing .... flashing .... flashing.... so I walked away and what do you know....  PREGNANT was on the screen!!! I started shaking, there is no way!! Maybe these test are expired I did get them on clearance ( checked the box nope they are good) Pee'd on another stick, flash flash flash PREGNANT!! OMG!!!



After the news sank in I knew I had to do something super cute for Jason - Seeing it was our four year dating anniversary!!! So I took some cute pictures of our son with the tests....


Then I made a montage of our life together and complied the photos of the day at the end to surprise him!!

We went to lunch at Sushi Rock where I showed him the video and he was totally shocked and surprised as much as I was!! On September 14, 2012 we had our first sonogram and the baby was perfect!! The heart was beating it was wonderful!!
