Baby Pic!

Here are the first official "pictures" of our baby...the white blob inside the black circle is the baby. This ultrasound was taken at my 10-week appointment back on February 3rd, so my next one (around 18-20 weeks)will be much clearer. Enjoy! :-)

Our Family is Growing...

Mark and I wanted to announce to everyone (who didn't know already) that we are expecting our first little one around September 6th. We feel truly blessed and amazed by this little life that God has already entrusted to our care. I am about 12 weeks along in my pregnancy, with little difficulties to report..except for a few minor bouts with nausea and a constant state of exhaustion. I had the first ultrasound at my 10-week appointment, and although not very detailed, it was awesome to finally see that there is something growing inside of me. I was even able to see our baby's little heart beating away on the ultrasound monitor. My next appointment will be the standard 4-week check-up on March 5th. It will be at this appointment that Mark and I will finally be able to hear our baby's heartbeat! I will try to upload the ultrasound pictures to our blog soon..so stay tuned for updates!
