We are SO excited!
We have been reading every piece of literature about being pregnant, what's supposed to happen at what week, how our baby is developing each month, all the things we have to watch out for and be aware of.
Krisdee has been stuck in bed quite a bit with nausea, headaches, dizziness, tiredness and loss of appetite. The first 3 months were pretty bad. Her doc put her on some serious prenatal vitamins, and things have been a bit better since.
Anyway, things are all good at the moment. Heh, We're giddy with excitement, and now even more so that we've told the world about it!
So yeah, at about 12 weeks, we got to meet BabyOne for the first time thanks to some great new technology. We saw and heard the whoosh of a heartbeat (185 per minute), saw the baby wave its little arms and leg buds around like a mini kung fu fighting jellybean, and learned that both the baby, and Krisdee, are perfectly healthy.
We're more than excited about this addition to our family. We're ecstatic and invigorated. Having a baby was a strange concept to wrap our brains around until that morning -- seeing the baby squirm about in Krisdee's innards really made it real. We wanted to wait to tell people until we had that exam, and got to see for ourselves that things were going well, and this was really for real. It's for real.
