Precious little beats....

I got to hear the heartbeat today!!!! It was the coolest thing ever & so exciting! The heart rate was 150-160's & very strong. I have heard little heartbeats before when I worked in the ER & had to find them occasionally on a patient, BUT it is nothing like hearing OUR baby's, in MY belly!! I just can't believe it! Somehow I did not lose any weight??? Not sure how I didn't with the daily nausea, no appetite & sleeping because it's the only time I feel good....or maybe my growing boobs are making up for it? Who knows? My weight was exactly the same. I am now 10 weeks & 4 days, so hopefully all this nausea stuff is about to be over with soon. I cannot believe I am a week & a half away from the end of my 1st trimester! WOW! I do have some belly pics (Liz) but there's nothing to show yet, so I'm holding off on those. I don't really feel the need to broadcast my moley belly to the world yet & not have anything to show for it! :) I promise, there will be plenty to come!

A trip to the zoo

I guess this post could also be considered practice for what is to come in our life? Jimmy & I have talked several times about going to the Nashville Zoo, but just never did until today. I figured I'm not going to be any less nauseous at home on the couch, than I would be walking around the zoo....plus it's some good exercise! It was a beautiful day, finally worth getting outside without rain. We really enjoyed ourselves & just took our time seeing all the animals & taking plenty of pics. We saw a lot of moms, dads & grandparents there with kids of all ages, which only made us think about taking our kiddo to the zoo one day. We can't wait to do all those things with our own child soon!! Here are some pics from our day!!!

Changing the subject....I go for my 2nd OB visit tomorrow so please say some prayers for me! I have been extremely nauseous, peeing a lot & my boobs are growing like crazy but I'm still really nervous about making it through this 1st trimester. I will be blogging again after tomorrow, so pray for good news!!!

1st preggo post!!!!!

I am VERY excited to really have something to blog about now...I am officially 8 weeks & 1 day preggo!!! FINALLY! This has been a long time coming, after a miscarriage last year & many months of disappointment. Needless to say, we didn't expect this to happen since we decided to move & wait until we got settled to start trying again...God obviously had a different plan for us. I am soooo thankful & excited it has finally happened. We got to see the heartbeat last week & that was a HUGE relief. :)



I will definitely be updating this more often now, so keep watching!
