First Prenatal Dr. Appt!

Good Morning!

So last night's appointment was VERY exciting. Unfortunately Shaun couldn't be there but he was on speaker phone to hear the good stuff. Mom and Paige (sis) went with me which was very special. The doctor went over what the next nine months will look like, asked me a bunch of questions then did the ultrasound. It was so cool to see the baby's heart pumping so rapidly ALREADY! And, we got to hear it! I think that was my favorite part.. It was even loud enough for Shaun to hear over the phone. So incredible. See the video  & pictures below.. I know it is hard to see/hear but you get the gist. SO exciting. Thanks for the video Paige! It is amazing how little the baby is yet how baby-like the features are already.. today is 8 weeks and the baby has formed weblike fingers and toes! He/She is only about the size of a kidney bean. It is amazing to realize that there really is a baby inside of me.. We can't wait for the next appt and to see/hear more! What an incredible experience this is.. already. I'm SO lucky to have an amazing husband like Shaun to share this with. 

We are desperately trying to wait at least a couple more months before sharing this blog and the news with all the extended family, friends & work... it is so hard, I feel like I am in hiding. Can't wait to break the good news! 

Thanks for stopping by and reading. Soon i'll start to post belly pics to doument my pregnancy growth! Time to take the prenatal vitamins.. ick!

xo, Tay.
