Pregnant - Update!!!

I just wanted to update everyone. Last time I wrote, my doctor had confirmed that I was pregnant, but indicated that due to my low progesterone levels, that he wanted to make sure next time I visited that there was a heartbeat. Needless to say, I was TERRIFIED that I would get bad news this week.

Well, I just had my doctor's visit yesterday, and there was a HEARTBEAT!!! He showed it to me on the sonogram!!! It's amazing! He said that the baby is perfect, and it is progressing perfectly! I am exactly 7 weeks and 2 days into the pregnancy, and I am right on track! We are so happy!!!

This weekend we are telling our parents!!! Any cute ideas of how to tell them (we're doing it in person with each set of parents)....

I'm SOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!

CONGRATS!!!!!

I don't know if you have a sonogram picture yet..but this is what my friend did.

They bought 'I Love My Grandma' (and Grandpa, Aunt and Uncle) frames and put the sonogram pics in them. Then they wrapped them up and gave them as gifts. Their parents almost fell of the chairs. The tears rolled.....

Re: Pregnant - Update!!!

Yes, I do have the sonogram picture, and I already framed it for myself... But, it's a great idea to give a framed copy to the parents too! Thanks for the advice!

Re: Pregnant - Update!!!

YAY!! How exciting!!!

Here's something corny... the one thing I remember about the show Full House is how Rebecca told Jessie she was pregnant. She made him a meal and fed him the clues to figure out what she had to tell him, like lamb chops, baby carrots, etc. anything having to do with BABY. I don't know if something like that is practical to do, but I thought it was cute. I think any way you tell them, they will be soooo excited!!!

Congratulations again!
