We had the ultrasound yesterday and everything looks good! We even got a picture of the baby to take home! It doesn't look like too much, kind of like a bean but it was cool to see : ) The picture is a little blurry but you can see a little leg : )

Growing baby
At the bottom of the blog is a belly cam that I thought was cool and added shortly after I made the first blog posting. Well, the little baby(embryo) stayed the same size until today! I look at the blog just about everyday and today it was bigger and now actually looks like a tiny baby and less like an alien. I guess instead of an embryo it is now a fetus but we can just call it tiny baby! I was really excited (I think Rick thinks I am a little crazy) : )
Anyways we go for the ultrasound tomorrow morning! I am suppose to drink 48oz of water and not go to the bathroom. I guess they can see things in there better if you have a full bladder. But I think 48oz is a bit much. So I decided I will drink at least a big water bottle and not worry about the exact measurement! Besides the whole drinking tons of water and not going to the bathroom part, we are excited!

First Doctor's Appointment!
We had our first doctor's appointment yesterday and it's official! I am 7 weeks pregnant. The doctor said everything looks great. They sent me to get some blood drawn for initial prenatal testing and they took 7 vials! It wasn't too bad. We get to go a week from Tuesday on the 27th to a special doctor(who deals with kidneys and pregnancy and such) to get an ultrasound. Since one of my kidneys is in the pelvic region they want to make sure everything is alright with the kidney, ovary and baby! So we will get an early look at the tiny baby! My next appointment with my doctor is on February 12th. Rick can't go with me because he starts training for his new job on January 29th. He is excited though because he can go to the ultrasound appointment and so am I : ) We'll let you know how it goes! Oh yeah and our tentative due date is September 5th!

Pregnant!
Happy New Year!
We found out on Monday December 29th that I am PREGNANT(About 5 weeks)! Well I actually found out first and surprised Rick with an early birthday present(his birthday was the next day). I took a pregnancy test hoping, but not really thinking it was going to come out positive and it did! I got a box that had two tests in it so I waited a little bit and then took the other one just in case something was defective with the first one! It came up with the same digital response as the first, Pregnant. I still had my doubts but I packed the two tests into a plastic baggie and placed them into some tissue paper in a very glittery heart shaped bag. Then on the tag I wrote Happy Birthday Baby and placed it aside for Rick when he got home from work. He thought it was the best birthday present. I also got him The Simpsons Movie but he really didn't seem to care about that at all. I explained that even though I did take two tests I still didn't know if maybe something was wrong with the box of tests so we headed to Wegmans to buy just one more(a different brand),and it came out positive too!
We have decided to wait awhile before we tell anyone the news. So I thought I would start this blog and once we make the announcement everyone can read this and catch up : )
Yesterday we were at the mall and picked up some really cool pregnancy books at Borders. I got a book that goes week by week of the pregnancy talking about what the baby looks like( they relate the size to food items so right about now it is the size of a sesame seed), what development is happening and give some pregnancy tips. Rick got a book too and he is actually reading it! It is called Pregnancy sucks for men. It tells guys what to expect and gives them tips on how to deal with their pregnant wife!
Last night for New Years Eve we just hung out at home and actually fell asleep before midnight, only to be woken up shortly after by the base of the music from the crazy party next door! So we watched a couple movies and eventually fell back asleep.
I called the doctor yesterday and made an appointment for January 16th! So I will check back in after the appointment.
