We are going to have a baby!

April 12, 2011. Positive pregnancy test!

May 5, 2011.  First doctors appointment.  This little 18 mm nugget is our baby! You can see the spinal cord, ventricles of the brain, and umbilical cord (where, I don't know!).

Well, if you made it to this website, then you have found out that Justin and I are going to have a baby!!  This is our old blog from our year long adventure in Australia, but now we are writing about the new adventures of pregnancy.

We found out we were pregnant on April 12, 2011.  It was right after we got back from a week long vacation visiting friends and family.  We were super excited!! This was definitely a planned pregnancy.

We went to the doctor May 5, 2011 and got a good report from the doctor.  He said everything looked really good.  We even saw the baby moving around.  He told us that with the baby moving this early, the chance of miscarriage in only 2%.  We felt that was low enough we could start telling people. The baby is due December 13th.

I have been feeling in general pretty good.  No morning sickness, but more morning ickiness.  I feel kinda nauseated/icky in the mornings, but it is usually gone by 11 or 12.  Other than that, I feel great! Justin and I are still running and exercising.  We are even running in a 5k this weekend!

That is about it for now! I will put up weekly pictures and updates! We figured since we have family and friends all over the world, a blog would be a good way for people to keep up with us!  Let the journey to parenthood commence!

So glad you are feeling well and still running, you rock! I was nauseated all the time and movement only made it worse, so much of my 1st trimester was on the couch. You guys are going to be great parents!
