6+5 - Pregnancy from the other side.

So - we have a strong baby growing. :) If you haven't been keeping up with the TTC 2 tab up at the top of the page, yesterday we had the first ultrasound for the new baby bean. Baby is measuring exactly to the day and has a heart rate of 135 - We are hoping the lower heart rate means BOY!! With S at 7w5d, her heart rate was 175...sooo it is possible - of course anything is!

Mom and Carol were able to come with us to the ultrasound, they were hoping for twins...who is surprised about that? I still think it would be cool to have twins, lots of work for sure, but also lots of fun!!

We are moving right along, well I am haha...Court is just now starting to feel sick more often. She got sick at work this morning. I am hoping she passes through the first trimester without much morning/all day sickness. I think mine finally subsided between 14-16 weeks.

The next appointment is May 4, the day after Court's bday! That will be a fun appointment.

Thinking of how we want to announce the new baby is pretty fun. I am going to work in Photoshop a bit with some pictures we have of Sophia to see what I can come up with.

I just have to say I love our Dr. office so much. They really are all so great. I am happy to be able to experience all of this from the other end of the table now. It is so much more REAL now that we heard the heartbeat. I want to go home and play the DVD with it again and again. In just a few short weeks we should be able to use our doppler and hear it ourselves at home.

Oh yeah, it is written in the stars for our babies to have November due dates :) This one is expected to be a Turkey Day baby. (we are expecting a few days later...so it could be a December baby)

Until next time!!
