We're Pregnant!

Zach and I found out we were going to be parents on February 2nd, 2009. We were so excited when we found out! We know we wanted to start trying at the beginning of the New Year, but didn't know it would happen this quickly!

We had scheduled our first prenatal appointment for February 16th. We had been informed of all the basic information to get us started with things we needed to know: hospital routines, the "dos and don'ts" of pregnancy, etc. We weren't exactly sure when the due date would be, so we scheduled to have a sonogram for February 19th to find out a due date.

The day of the 19th was much anticipated and very exciting! Both Zach and I were expecting a middle of October baby, or due date. We figured I was about six weeks along. It was an unbelievable experience to see our "new" baby for the first time on the screen! Zach and I went into the appointment thinking the technician would have to point out everything on the baby such as: these are the arms, here are the legs, and the head is here type thing.

As soon as the picture of the baby appeared on the screen Zach and I both knew instantly that we were further along than expected! It was very clear to distinguish the arms, legs, head, body, etc. The baby looked like a tiny person! Needless to say we were shocked with the technician told us we were nine weeks and four days along! Wow!! This is happening a little faster than expected. Our due date is set for September 20th, 2009. We cannot wait!
