First Doctor Visit

This is me at 7 weeks!



This is our baby!!!


We went to the doctor on December 17th! I had an ultrasound and found out that I was 8 weeks pregnant, now 9 weeks and we heard a strong baby heartbeat and got its first cute little picture! It looks like a peanut :) David thinks it looks like ET when you turn it sideways. LoL. The due date is July 29th which is the day before mine and David's birthday and 4 days before our anniversary!
The baby is being nourished through the placenta now and all of the essential body parts including teeth have started to take shape. The sex has already been determined but we wont be able to tell for another 9 weeks or so. My belly is starting to look bigger all the time! I guess that's a good thing but I feel like its too early! Hopefully I will stop being sick all the time in a few weeks. We go back to the doctor on the 14th of January and they will run a lot of tests and do some bloodwork to see how everything's going.
Grayson is very excited about having a little sister...thats what he says he wants! I think he will be a great big brother to our new addition.
This is something like what its looking like this week.

the first news

Well I just found out I am pregant! I took two tests last Wednesday and one on Thanksgiving Day...all three positive! We are so excited and I can't wait to go to see Dr. Orso on the 17th. He is a great doctor and he is the one who took care of my mom when she was pregnant and delivered me! When we took the first test Wednesday we decided to go have lunch with my mom to tell her. We went to eat at La Dama with her and Lynn. We took one of the tests with us wrapped up in a baggie and I handed it to mom under the table...tacky yes, but we decided it would be funny. My mom got this big smile and she was like omg plus means positive right?!?! Lol. She was very excited and started waving it around like a crazy person (j/k) and she told our waitress. Then we went to see Davids mom and stepdad Tina and Doyle and they were both pretty excited too. Now most of our family knows and everybody is very happy for us. We are ecstatic to be having a little baby Westbrook. With all these baby boys around, we need a little girl :) But I will be overjoyed either way.


This is something like what the baby looks like now...this is a 4 week baby and actually I think I may be a little further along than that
so maybe its a little more like this one which is about 6 weeks. If thats the case we should be able to see the heartbeat when we go to the doc. We will find out soon! :)
