First Ultrasound Photos

    Hi family and friends! We had our first visit to the doctor today. Brandon's co-worker was right, Dr. Aguayo is amazing! She is really nice and sensitive and has a great sense of humor, we couldn't ask for anyone better.
    Everything went great and looks great. We didn't get to hear a heartbeat, but still just as awesome, we got to see the heartbeat! And as you can see we have photos!!! It feels so much more real now that we have all this proof to back up the pregnancy. It was an indescribable moment for both Brandon and I to see our baby for the first time, we were and are truly awestruck.
    As for me, the nausea still isn't too bad, it comes and goes, but I am sooooooo tired all of the time! When I get home in the afternoons, I hit the couch and don't move until my wonderful husband finishes dinner. I don't know what I would do without him.
    Our next visit is in 6 weeks on October 1st. Dr. Aguayo said that we could hear the heartbeat on that visit. I wonder how different the baby will look then.
    We'll be in Orlando next month for Amanda & Preston's wedding, we can't wait to see everyone!

Doctor Update

    Well, we've found an OB/GYN in Huntsville. One of Brandon's co-worker and his wife recommended her, so I hope we like her. She is Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Crestwood Hospital where I will be delivering, so that has to mean something right? Our first appointment is next Friday at 9:00am. That seemed so far away to me, but I had no idea that the doctors didn't want to see you until you are 5-8 weeks pregnant! I guess you can say I'm a little anxious since I have no idea what they will be doing on that first visit, but I'm really curious to see where I'm actually at in the pregnancy and to make sure everything is normal and okay.
    So far I have felt great all weekend and today! A lot of people have told me they started to get sick in their 5th week. I hope that doesn't happen to me! Say a prayer for me Ya'll! ~XOXO~

We Have A Blog

    As everyone probably already knows, WE'RE PREGNANT!! My friend, Chrissy, inspired me to start a blog now that our family is expanding. I'm going to try to be as faithful as she is at updating the blog when ever possible. She does an amazing job letting everyone know what's happening in their life and the life of their precious newborn Oliva.
    Since we and my soon to be growing belly are 700 miles away from everyone, I really wanted to find a way that makes everyone feel like they were here with us. I think a blog is the best way!
    So here is where it all starts...
    On Tuesday evening, we took a pregnancy test. One line was dark pink, but the other line was so light we actually missed it the first time looking. Brandon and I couldn't decide whether it was a positive or negative so we went back to the store and bought a digital (YES+ or NO-) test. It was YES+!! On Thursday, we went to my doctor to confirm the pregnancy and of course, confirmed it was! We are so excited...and nervous (well, I'm nervous!) So, I'm already on my prenatal vitamins, but now we have to find an OB/GYN and make a first visit by hopefully next week. It's not an exact date yet, but my doctor (and Brandon) thinks that the due date is April 10th. I will let everyone know more after the next visit to the doctors!
