Lisa and I were really excited when we saw this. But we still wanted to get a doctors confirmation, so Lisa booked a appt with her primary care doctor the next day and sure enough, she confirmed that she was pregnant!
That weekend we started telling family and close friends the good news. Obviously everybody was excited. It was a little bitter sweet for me since we got this news less than a month after Mom passed away. Of course one thought I had as soon as I heard the news, was that we had a little extra help up above. Knowing her, I'm sure she got up there and that was her first demand. :) If it's a boy, then we'll really know she had some influence. ;)
May 28th, we had a appointment with the OBGYN for Lisa's first baby doctor visit. After a initial talk and exam, he took us into the ultrasound room to "take a look" and sure enough, faintly, you could see a little flash on the screen. The baby's heartbeat! He scheduled us for the first "real" ultrasound on June 1st. On June 1st, they zoomed in and this is what we saw..
Baby's heartbeat was beating away, and our tadpole was growing. :) At this point, Lisa was feeling a little depressed. She was excited to be pregnant, but wasn't "feeling" pregnant. I told her she would be regretting those comments. :) Sure enough at week 8, Lisa started feeling morning sickness. A few visits to the bathroom, and Lisa was eating her words (or throwing them up)
June 18th was our next visit with the baby doctor. He told Lisa everything is looking good and normal. He decided to do another ultrasound, and this time, baby looked more like a baby. He decided to hold the ultrasound still for a minute and said maybe we'll see the baby move. Sure enough, baby started kicking it's tiny legs and started wiggling around. Pretty amazing to see that and know that that's growing inside Lisa. here's the latest ultrasound picture
Lisa is now in her 12th week, finishing up the 1st Trimester. She's still feeling a little bit sick, but seems like that's on the downswing. We have another Doctors appt on July 13th where they will do a ultrasound and do some neck measurments and tests. So we're looking forward to seeing more pictures of baby Bohne. This blog will be our "Baby Book" for Lisa's pregnancy and for family and friends to keep to date on what's going on.
