PREGO!!

So Randy and I thought that by now our pregnancy isn't so much a "secret" anymore to those we're closest with and figured that we'd create a blog to post pictures and the latest info on our little peanut since we don't live exactly "close" to a lot of our family and friends.  So yes, we are prego.  And no, I don't think we're having a boy like Randy likes to convince himself of....  :)  I've been feeling amazingly well, which I was most scared of at first, since throwing up is literally the worst I get.  I feel nauseous only sometimes, which is good cuz I've been craving Arby's curly fries and pickles like crazy (although I try to limit my consumption of sodium, and I've been doing good...considering.)  

Today we had an appointment with the sonographer and got our first look at our little gummy bear.  There really isn't any better explanation for the way "he" looks (by the way, I only say "he" so it doesn't sound like some foreign object that is just an "it."  Plus, it fuels Randy's conviction that we're having a boy....but in my opinion, he's going to be so surprised when we find out it's really a girl!) The sonographer told us the heartbeat sounded good and everything looks like it's coming along fine.  She said we're about 9 weeks and are due October 10!  In case you're wondering, the top 2 ultrasounds are the traditional kind that just look like a big blob.  The one below is the 4-D ultrasound which allows us to actually see the baby as we do in an actual photograph.  The photo is looking at him head on.  You can see the dips where the eyes will be and the leg and arm buds.  Randy and I are hoping he gets a little cuter as he gets bigger, as he's a little homely now....  :)

Our next appt. is in a couple of weeks when we meet our doctor for the first time.  Can't wait!
