Say Cheese!

Yup, that blur you see right there is the first picture ever taken of our baby.

Two days ago was my first appointment and I will not lie...I was nervous. David said he has never seen me so squirmy. I don't have a good rapport with doctors, so I opted for a midwife. I was still not sure if I was going to like this lady, but my fears went away when I met her. She was very nice and personal, she respected what I had to say and I felt like I had all the time I wanted with her. She even brought in a surprise for us. She came in with an ultrasound machine and said that if we wanted we can have one. I had been to an ultrasound with Rachel when she was pregnant with Anika, but it's different when it's yours. :) It was still to early to hear the heartbeat, but we got to see it pumping away. I think it has finally convinced David that this is really happening. :)

I have to come back in next week to get my blood drawn and then my follow-up is in March.

In other news David got all the sheet rock hung in our bathroom and is just about done with recovering the downstairs room. Just in time for John and Nancy Spears to come down. We'll be spending the weekend with them at the beach. I'm really looking forward to this.
