8 weeks- First Doctor's Visit

Last Monday we had our first doctor's appointment with the OB. Aaron went with me. This is the first time I have ever had my husband go to the dr. with me. It was kinda cool to have someone to chat with while sitting for 45 minutes in the waiting room. They finally called us back to the ultrasound room. Dr. Roberts used that lovely device ( if you have experienced childbirth, you know what I am talking about) and there it was, our little lima bean, on the screen and the heart was beating. The heart beat was 154. Aaron thought he could make out the head , but it was actually the ambiotic sack. It was very surreal. I was so relieved to see that everything was growing in the correct place. I was also so happy to see that I am not one of those crazy woman that make up pregnancy symptoms and isn't really pregnant. I have attached one of the pictures of our little bean. Don't worry if you can't make out what you are looking at~ neither can we:) I go back to the doctor this Thursday to do all of the blood work and tests that they make you do when you are pregnant.






We told my dad this weekend. I was waiting to surprise him for his birthday. It was funny, because he was speechless, which is very unusual for my father. He always has something to say about everything. Here is the video of him opening his picture. It is funny :)
