Our Little Nugget!!

We had our first doctor's appointment on September 20, 2010! It seemed like forever until we would get to that day, but we made it!!! The ultrasound tech gave me my first ultrasound and we got to see the baby's home for the next 8 months! Unfortunately she couldn't get a heartbeat, so we have to go back on October 6 to hear the heart beat.

I know it is kind of hard to see the image, but you can see where the arrow is pointing. She told me also that I was more like 5 weeks pregnant than 6 weeks. She told me it was going to be a LONG pregnancy. So once we got there and after we had the ultrasound, we had to go back in the waiting room to wait to see the doctor. Once she FINALLY came in she was sitting there talking to us, looking at the ultrasound picture and asking some questions and we were answering, however I noticed she wasn't really paying much attention to us!! So she got up and said "I need to ask the nurse about something" and left the room. Not knowing what she was refering to me and Chase kinda just looked at each other like "What is wrong"? She came back in the room and said, "I thought I saw TWO sacs on the ultrasound, but the nurse told me it wasn't"!! If you look closely it does look like two and everyone that looks at the picture says "Are there two"?? I guess we will find out more information once we can hear the heart beat in two weeks!! It would be very exciting though if there were two little nuggets in there!!! I am trying not to get my hopes up though! Which brings me to our debate! The doctor we visited yesterday was Dr. Cooley in FWB. We really liked her and her office, however she only delivers at FWB Medical Center and I am not sure that's where I want to deliver because I have heard some horror stories about some deliveries there.....so that being said, we have another appointment with a new doctor, Dr. Graham, on October 5. Dr. Graham's office is located in Destin at Sacred Heart Medical Center! This is where I want to deliver!! Another issue is that Dr. Cooley has her own 4D ultrasound machine in her office and I'm not sure if Dr. Graham does!! This probably shouldn't be such a big deal, but I want to feel comfortable and not stress out (like what I'm doing now)!! We will just visit Dr. Graham on October 5 and if we like her we will cancel our appointment on October 6 with Dr. Cooley! I decided I want to take some pictures periodically of myself so we can document my growth! Here is our 5 1/2 week picture!! We will keep you updated and let you know how the next visit goes!! 

Guess What.......

We're gonna have a baby!!

We found out I was pregnant on Sunday, September 5, 2010 and had to keep it a secret until we could tell our parents in person!! So FINALLY we got to tell them that Friday!! It was all we could do to keep it in! We pretty much tried to avoid everyone for the entire week so we wouldn't slip up! We met my parents in Enterprise, AL at Old Mexico for dinner Friday and tried to play it cool until we decided to tell them!! It just happened to be Grandparent's weekend and so we bought Grandparent's Day cards, a bib, and put a picture of 3 of my 4 pregnancy tests in the bag. We couldn't find any bibs that said "I Love My Grandpa", only bibs that said "I Love Grandma", so we had to use a Sharpie marker to insert it ourself!! Of course they were so thrilled!!!

We had already made plans to go to New Orleans with Chase's parents to watch "Uncle Chandler" play football (Tulane vs. Ole Miss). So after we left Enterprise we drove to Gulf Shores and spilled the beans again! Chase's parents were just as excited as mine were!! We had planned on not telling anyone else until my first doctor's appointment on September 20th...we should have known that wasn't going to last! We ended up telling EVERYONE the next day, which was fine...it felt good to tell all of our friends and family about our addition to our family!! I found out some more good news Saturday also, but I will keep that hush hush for now!! So far I haven't had too many pregnancy symptoms. I have just been really tired and Chase said a little moody! :) I am naturally a pretty tired person, but I definitely feel more exhausted then normal!! We plan on updating our blog pretty often so all of our friends and family can keep up with my pregnancy as they wish. As excited as we are, we wish so badly that my Nanny was here to share this amazing news with us. She would have been SO excited to be a Great Grandmother!! In my heart I know she knows and is already watching over this precious baby. We are so excited and feel so extremely blessed to be adding a member to our family. We can't wait to hear the heart beat!
