Week 8

Happy week 8!  It's been an awesome week :) had our first ultrasound this past Tuesday and got to see our little baby!  It was so exciting just cause it finally makes this all feel so real. We were able to see the little heart flickering as it beat, saw the umbilical cord, the head and tail and heard the heartbeat... it was pretty amazing :)  we were both so nervous for this visit, myself more openly nervous than Andy. We got 3 little pictures of the baby though the pictures didn't turn out as well as we could see on the screen.  The heart rate was 154 and it was so cool to hear it beating so quickly.  I was 7w6d but the baby was measuring at 8w2d.  They said that was no big deal and since it was in a 3 day window, they didn't change my due date... which is apparently July 11th! Although I could've sworn they told me July 13th originally... 

We've told a couple more people but are still planning on waiting until Christmas time to tell everyone else.  It's pretty hard to keep my mouth shut.  My parents Christmas party is coming up this weekend and we're celebrating Carrie and David's engagement so it's more incentive to keep quiet for longer :)

Here's our little update - I'll attempt to upload the ultrasound pictures sometime next week!
