We had our first prenatal visit on December 3rd. Everything looked good according to the doctor and we were very excited to hear the heartbeat and get ultrasound pictures of our little peanut! The heartbeat was 176 and everyone I have told says that means we are having a girl. We will see if they are right about that when we find out the gender in late February or early March. Our exact due date is July 7, 2009 according to the doc.
We have tried explaining to Maggie (our dog) that she is going to have a little brother or sister, but she doesn't seem too excited yet!We are a little worried about how she will react to no longer being the center of our universe when the baby arrives, but we are sure that she will adjust just fine and be the best big sister ever!
Thankfully, my "afternoon" sickness has been letting up in the past week although I am still tired most of the time. It hasn't helped that Cory and I have both been sick for the past week or so.
We are gearing up for Christmas and almost have all the gifts wrapped and Christmas cards sent out. Cory was very excited to get Christmas cookies from my mom and has been unwillingly sharing them with Maggie. (It's hard to say no when she gives us those puppy dog eyes).
Hopefully we will be able to update this blog once a week to keep everyone in the loop on what is going on in our lives. Cory only has one more week of school then he is off for two weeks for Christmas break. He is very excited about break. I'm sure he won't be so excited when I give him a list of chores to accomplish while I am still slaving away at work! Hopefully on the next post I can put up the ultrasound photo from our first prenatal visit. I have been lazy and haven't scanned it in yet. :) We hope everything has a great week!
