7 Weeks, 2 Days: Ultrasound Day!!!!

Time sure does want to creep by slowly when you're anticipating something so exciting.... I thought today would never come! But alas, it did and we got to see our "Chicken Nugget's" (as we are affectionately calling it) heartbeat! A strong 144 beats per minute! The doctor said that everything looks great and the pregnancy seems really healthy :)

It never ceases to amaze me that this is all a true miracle. I mean something the size of a blueberry is growing inside of me and it has a heartbeat, a forming brain, and multiple growing internal organs! I've been reading all the week by week updates from different pregnancy websites so that I know what's going on inside my belly. That has been one of the most fun parts about this so far. Besides feeling so tired and a little moody, I cant really "feel" anything yet, ya know? It's the only time in my life you'll hear me say that I just wanna get fat already. HaHa.

Ryan was so cute at the doctor today. His face just lit up when he saw our little nugget. I think that it all started to feel real to him. He's also been so understanding with my needing to nap all the time and when, on the rare occasion, I'm not the nicest... I think he knows that my body isn't mine anymore. He even let me nap today while he took Luke to the dog park. Thanks babe!


Below is my weekly belly shot and of course the first fuzzy, black and white picture of our baby. Enjoy! We love you!
