And so it begins...


I figured this would be the easiest way to communicate with people and keep them updated on this exciting time in our lives.

On May 6, 2010 we received some big news. We're having a baby. The "parasite", as I so lovingly call it right now, will be joining us sometime around January 14th, 2011. May 6th I had a positive pregnancy test and May 7th blood work confirmed. So far, things are going well. My hormone levels appear to be increasing the way that they're supposed to and up to this point I'm just feeling tired and achy. We had our first ultrasound last Wednesday, the 13th, and saw the "gestational sac". This week we have an ultrasound this coming Wednesday, at which point I'll be 5 weeks, 5 days along. They said we will probably be able to see a little bundle of cells and maybe even a heartbeat (but it could be week 8 or 9 before we see that).
