We made it!!!

We made it to our 12 week appointment!!!

When I first found out I was pregnant I immediately made an appointment with the obgyn that I had hoped to get into - and we were lucky she did have an opening for a new patient! Our first appointment with the doctor was supposed to be on Thursday April 20th. Of course, because of the problems we had with the SCH we have seen our doctor several times before this appointment.

The appointment went great, we heard the heart beat for the first time, it was awesome!!! Everything is looking good! We had to do lots of paper work and some blood work, and we spoke with the genetic counselor, it was a long morning but everything went smoothly. Our doctor is awesome, we really feel blessed to have her as our doctor (check her out on the Sioux Valley OBGYN page http://www.obgynltd.org/staff/index.php?id=&entryid=7 ). She even took the time to make sure Todd got to see what was all happening, and to talk with him! The best news to me was, things are going so well that in the next week or two I will be able to go off the partial bed rest I was on...I will still have to be careful, but not to the extreme point I was before! Yeah!

After our appointment Todd and I went to Spezia's for lunch to celebrate! We had taken the day off work a long time ago, to celebrate making it to the 12 week mark! The rest of the afternoon we spent at home (I took a 2 hour nap!) and just hung out.

Last night I brought special cupcakes to the church group I go to at Oak Hills Church, the cupcakes had little bottles and pacifiers on them, it didn't take long for everyone to figure out what I was trying to tell them! Half the cupcakes where pink and half where blue, each person took the color that they thought I was having (boy or girl) according to the cupcake count - I am having a boy! lol We will have to see if they where right!

Thanks again to all of our family and friends for their prayers and support- we couldn't do it without you!
