First Ultrasound Results

The results are in....one baby not twins!(I guess my theory was wrong...the mother's intuition hasn't kicked in yet!) The baby is perfect size and the heartbeat was 180bpm. It was truly amazing!! Ed and I were in complete awe! I think Ed may have been a bit freaked out because something is growing inside of me. It's kinda hard to grasp that whole concept. It freaked me out for a second too then I was just so happy! We got to see its little leg and arms move too. How crazy!!!

The nurse was kind enough to print us a picture. The little peanut looks like a blob right now but I will scan it and get it posted up asap.

After the ultrasound Eddie took me for a yummy lunch at Jersey Burger and we had some delicious blackbean burgers to celebrate!

Well, thats all for now! I'm going to try to catch in a nap while Eddie is at the Chiropractor.

Nausea - Morning Sickness - whatever you want to call it!

Ugghh..just when I thought I was feeling better nausea creeped its big old head in! I went through this entire morning feeling pretty good just a little sick. I had tons of energy and thought "Wow! This is going to be a great day!" I ran some errands met my friend Margaret for breakfast and come home to do some chores and blah...I'm sick and so tired. Holy smokes, I am looking forward to the day I get my energy back. Did I mention the pants the fit me last week I couldn't even button today?!?!?!? It's all moving so quickly and in a weird way I am enjoying every minute of it!! Is it a girl or boy? Who knows this is the week when the reproductive organs start to form. Is it twins?? We will know for sure tomorrow!

Bye for now, I'm going to sneek in a nap!

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the Baby Bump Bio. We decided to create this blog to keep family and friends up to date on our growing baby! So if you didn't know...Ed and I are expecting our first child in March. After a year and a half of trying and one miscarriage we pretty much gave up. We just decided that we would look into adoption (which we still are considering) and voila I got pregnant! It was a total shock and was not expected at all.

So, this is our 9 week mark and I am still feeling pretty sick. Nausea for most of the day which everyone says is a healthy sign of pregnancy. I pretty much have to eat little meals all through out the day to keep ahead of the nausea! This week I noticed that either I am getting used to the nausea or maybe it is getting a bit better! I'm keeping my fingers crossed because it is not fun! Besides the nausea I am completely exhausted pretty much 24/7! I fall asleep the minute my head hits the pillow and if I don't take a nap at some point I am pretty much sleep walking. All in all it is worth every sick and tired feeling to know we have been blessed with a child.

Last week was my first official doctors visit and everything looks perfect! The doctor said my uterus feels full (duh doc I know that!). This Wednesday we have our first ultrasound which will be our official 9 week mark. I'm looking forward to seeing this little being growing inside of me. I've also been thinking I may be having twins (my grandmother had twins and three psychics told me I was going to have twins). So we will know a few things for sure on Wednesday, whether or not we are having twins and a somewhat more exact due date. As of right now my due date is March 3, but things can change I have heard :)

So please subscribe to our blog as we will be updating weekly and sometimes daily. We will also be adding pictures! What a better way for those far away to follow the journey with us.

We would love to hear your comments as well so please feel free to comment below each post.
Lots of Love - Maria and Ed
