Ahh, how life works!!

For those of you popping over from my weight loss blog, some of this info will look familiar. Gotta love the ability to cut and paste. When I logged on to post an update here about the pregnancy, I noticed the date of my last blog entry is April 19th, the new baby's due date! Too funny.

So here's the update on the new baby, coming in April:

Well, tomorrow we will be 7 weeks pregnant. Gary and I went to our ultrasound and first OB appt last Thursday. Although I was scared to death for the ultrasound to show everything was ok, I was thrilled to see a 6 week 3 day little bean with a strong beating heart. The heart rate was 118. When I expressed concern about it being too slow, both the ultrasound and the doctor assured me that the baby's heart has only been beating for about 3 days, so it will speed up quickly. "It's just getting revved up." Everything measured great, right on for how far along I thought I was.

The doctor assures me everything will be fine. She ordered gobs and gobs of labs (took 19 tubes in all). Continued to tell us what a miracle this little bean is and that she will get us through it safe and sound. My due date is April 19th, 2010. We laughed because both Joshua and Zachary were both on the 15th of the months that they were born in. The doc said, she could ensure this little one was born that day too.
