And the date changes yet again!

This past Friday we had another doctor's appointment. Because my first ultrasound did not match up to the original estimation of how far along I was, the doctors are monitoring me quite regularly to get a better idea of how far along I really. So at this appointment, we had another ultrasound which determined I'm approximately 7 weeks, which matched up perfectly to last week's ultrasound where they estimated I was 6 weeks. The benefit of getting weekly ultrasounds is we have tons of pictures of our baby already which is allowing us to watch the baby's development. Our latest due date is April 13, 2009.

First Appointment... and even doctors make mistakes!

We had our first appointment on Friday. Upon arrival, we were overwhelmed with nurses gathering around telling me how good my numbers looked (from my 2 previous progesterone tests). Greg, of course, had no clue what they were talking about. Then I overheard two nurses talking about how they just know I am having twins! That's when my nurse explained to me they didn't want to shock me, but my numbers were so high there was a good chance I was having twins. I immediately panicked and began thinking "but there's no way I will ever get my abs back if I have twins!" (hey I can still be a bit selfish right?). Thankfully, when we had our ultrasound we got to see our baby. That's right our baby, not babies! (All of the nurses were gathered around the door waiting to hear the news of twins, but they were all wrong!) However, when the ultrasound tech was measuring the baby she discovered I was only 6 weeks pregnant, not 8 weeks! So, looks like our new due date is April 9th, 2009.

We are going to be parents!

On August 7th, we discovered we are going to be parents. I am 7 weeks pregnant! I surprised Greg with a "I Love My Daddy" frame and paint samples to turn his kayak room into a nursery. He was in shock and almost didn't believe me. We will officially be welcoming Baby Francis into our lives in March 2009 (we are both March babies).
