It's Official!

Well the time has finally come....Mike and I are expecting the arrival of a little one!  We could not be anymore excited!  We have been wanting to start a family of our own for quite some time (almost two years to be exact).  After many doctor's visits, testing, and some heartbreak we have come to the greatest point in our lives.

We found out at the beginning of January with a positive pregnancy test.  I couldn't believe my eyes and really couldn't believe it was true till I went to the doctor that week.  It had just been so hard for us, that we didn't think that it would really happen.  But low and behold my first doctor's visit proved to us that there was a little one growing inside me and all signs were showing the start of a healthy pregnancy.  

Mike and I got our first glimpse of B.O.B. (baby on board) on February 8th.  It was such an amazing doctor's visit.  When the picture of our growing child showed up on the ultrasound screen, Mike and I both broke into tears.  We were just so overjoyed and relieved at the same time.  B.O.B. was just a kicking and a squirming on the screen.  Then the Dr. let us hear the heartbeat and we broke into more tears.  What an amazing moment in our lives!  At this time we were 9 weeks and decided we would continue to keep our little one a secret for the most part.

On March 14th we went for our second doctor's appointment.  What a much quicker visit this was.  We got in, talked to the Dr. (well not really, we just wanted to hear that heartbeat again), and then we heard that wonderful sound......thump, thump, thump, thump!!!

So I am officially through the first trimester and except for the anxiety of wanting everything to go well, I have felt great.  Not a bit of morning sickness!!!  Just tired, but I feel at this point I am getting over that.  I have been able to stay active.  I continue to jog with a walk every now and then. B.O.B. even competed in it's first 5k back in February!  What a trooper, because there will be more to come :)

Mike and I continue to look forward to the journey that this pregnancy brings us!

Our first sign!

B.O.B. at 9 weeks!
