6 weeks and counting...

We had our first doctor's appointment yesterday. It was so awesome to be able to finally go to this appointment. I felt like it took forever for the date to get here! It was a very long (over 2 hours) and informative appointment. We got to talk to my doctor and get all of our questions answered, ran several blood tests, went over family history, insurance information, got a goodie bag of fun stuff, and most importantly- got to have a sonogram!!!! The baby is healthy and growing. It has a steady heartbeat of 118 bpm. The images below are from the appointment- it is very small still, the size of a sweet pea. :)

We did also find out that we are 6 weeks and 2 days (today). Originally they thought it was closer to 8 weeks, but the ultrasound confirmed 6 weeks and 2 days!!! Which means, we are due on April 23, 2013. So, mark your calendars!!

I think I have really enjoyed "knowing" that I'm pregnant because I have gained 2 pounds in the two weeks! My beginning weight (or as of about 4 weeks pregnant) was 130 lbs. As of 6 weeks, I am 132 lbs and 30" around my belly. (around my belly button) We are going to keep up with Brent's weight gain also, but we haven't measured him yet!

Our next appointment is around the 10 week mark on September 27th at 4:30pm. We will make sure to post more updates before then! See you soon....
