It feels so good to be able to publicly talk about the pregnancy! It was about killing me to keep it a secret. We did tell the parental units weeks earlier because we just could not wait!
Lewis and I actually became aware we were going to be parents on August 4th. I was in BOI and I "knew" I was pregnant. I had been charting my BBT's and I was 2 days late. When I temped that morning, it was still high, and I just knew. I peed on a stick I had conveniently brought with me and the line popped up positive! It was about 6am so I had to wait to call Lewis until later.
Unbeknownst to us, I was PG while we were in Las Vegas. Good thing I had lots of sushi and cocktails, because I sure am missing them now! Mmmm, a vodka tonic with extra lime would really taste good right now!
Our second OB appt was this past Wednesday. It was a brief one because my doctor was called out to a delivery. So she did a quick ultrasound to find the heartbeat since she was having difficulty finding it with the doppler device. And she found it!
I may or may not have seen it. I couldn't tell with all the grainy black and white stuff. But the Doctor and Lewis definitely saw it so I feel good about that. She said the heartrate was in the 160's. Healthy!!
I don't know if we are going to find our the sex beforehand. I'm leaning towards it being a surpise.
We are soooo excited! (so is my Dad!!)
*****I am journaling this experince privately, so I know I'm leaving a lot of details out here on the blog, but that is on purpose.
