Our New Baby

--Well much has happened this past month (birthdays, our anniversary, spring break) and much is still happening (Melanie's baptism, we're taking an anniversary trip (to see the sun) in a couple of weeks, etc) so I have and will have lots of catching up/blogging to do. However, I have been so nauseated and tired 24/7 - that the blogging will have to wait until I feel better. I'm 11 weeks now and still in the midst of extreme all day morning sickness and we -the whole family- has been battling flu, fevers, and colds the last three weeks. We had a hard time kicking these bugs.
Here some photos (ultrasound) of our soon to be... The due date is Oct 19th. We're praying that this baby will make it - its been one yr since we lost the last baby. Don came with me to the ultra sound. I was a bit paranoid to go alone, since the last ultrasound we went to was so sad and such an unexpected shock as I had no problems before hand. The baby was moving around like crazy during the ultrasound (yay!) we saw him/her put his/her hand in his mouth & kick around like crazy (but I couldn't feel a thing as the baby is still so small). Yesterday, I went in for a doctor's appointment and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. My midwife told me it was a nice strong heartbeat to hear at 11 weeks. So now I'm just counting the days until I feel better - so much for spring cleaning and getting ready to move as my house has gone to pot lately. Here are the pictures of the baby- they're early ultra sound - so they are not so clear - it was much clearer seeing the ultrasound live.
