So...we are just having one baby! Yay! We were a week off on the due date so the new date is January 4, 2010! We could still possibly have a Christmas baby though...yikers!
We were able to hear and see the heartbeat and it was truly one of the coolest experiences ever! The heartbeat was 117 beats per minute and we were told that was, "very good."
The baby looks like a little blob with a tail right now...but it is our blob. : )
The doctor was very pleased with everything he saw and so were we!! The only "negative" thing is that I have an extra week of shots since we were a week ahead of ourselves but that is okay!! Really...I can take it if it means our little blob is growing into something more of a human. hehe.
Now...on to the sleep topic...I now realize what moms mean when they say that the first trimester is exhausting! I have literally been going to sleep by 7:00 or 8:00 every evening and sleeping the entire night. I do really good in the mornings but by mid-afternoon it is all I can do to stay awake. The nurse told us today she literally slept through her first three months and I am beginning to understand how that is possible. Sleep is about all I think about...I haven't even been watching my normal shows or doing anything in the evenings...that definitely proves I'm really, really, tired!! They told me to make sure I rest...especially while on the shots, so I really don't feel bad about sleeping so much...I realize that my body needs it. I will be ready to have my energy back again though.
Anyway, we go back two weeks from today, on May 27th, to have our next ultrasound. We'll stay with this fertility doctor until I reach 10 weeks and then he'll transfer me back to my regular doctor.
What a great start to the day! We'll keep you posted.

This blog is soooo neat!!! I'm glad you sent it to me. I can keep up with you. Yes that little tadpole will grow up to be a good looking Schneckechen! I think it was so cute how Jessy wrote he shed a tear. I think it is wonderful to see a daddy with so much emotion. :-) I'm sure the nurse would have thought the same thing.
Sweet little baby. =) Hearing the heartbeat it simply amazing. It's amazing that a human being is growing inside of you. God is amazing. I too slept my first trimester away. I was SO extremely tired. Brady was so worried about me. Once you hit the second trimester your energy will pep up, and you'll feel really good. Take advantage of the sleep you can get now. =)
That is so exciting!! It's the cutest blob ever!!! I can't wait! =)

congradulations......enjoy the sleep time now, for in the 8th or 9th month you'll be up tinkling all the time, lol, and wait till you start "nesting", that'll be a fun time.
Good luck kids, you'll make a great daddy & mommy
