Getting up to speed

Since we wanted to wait a couple months to make sure everything has been progressing smoothly before we told everyone - I thought I'd get you all up to speed as to where we are at this point if you are interested.

1.  We found out we're expecting sometime in March.

2.  My first doctors appointment was March 23.  Not much happened here except confirmation that there was indeed a baby in there.  I did have to give lots and lots of blood which as most everyone knows is just not fun for me.  Matt was there though and for the most part it went well.  

3.  The estimated due date is set for Nov. 5, 2009.

4. My second doctors appointment was on April 7.   At this point I was almost 10 weeks and they decided to try to find a heartbeat.  After much searching (seemed like the longest 5 minutes ever...even more so to poor Matt) they finally found it.  And it was a good solid 180 beats!

5. My next doctors appointment is scheduled for May 5.  This will be our first sonogram - and the first tri-screen test.  This test will determine if the baby is at risk for any chromosomal problems.  So keep us in your thoughts and prayers that all goes well!

So nothing really exciting at this point.  But I guess boring is good news - right! :)
