When I was 6 weeks along...

I took 2 home pregnancy tests, about a month after getting home from Italy. Both were positive. Matt and I made an appointment right away for the doctor, and she confirmed it was true! That day (August 25th), we have our first ultrasound. They calculated I was 6 weeks along, and measured the baby to be 4mm long. We even got to see the flickering of the heartbeat and also hear it!

Here is a picture of me at 6 weeks.

And, here is the ultrasound picture from the 6 week appointment. The blob next to the baby is the "yolk sac" which eventually forms the placenta.

14 weeks 3 days

OK, I'm just starting to figure out this blogging thing... I thought it would be a good idea with friends and family across the country, to keep everyone up to date with baby news!

So far, I am 14 weeks along, and just starting to have my belly poke out a little. Just looks like I gained a few pounds, no real baby bump yet!

We have our 3rd doctor appointment on Monday, Oct. 27, so I'll be writing about what happens at that appointment. We are going to a new doctor for the first time, because I was really weirded out by the first doctor we started going to. The new doctor is a referral from 2 friends of mine here in Littleton.

I'll write more about the first 2 appointments and other stuff when I have more time!
