For those of you that knew me a few years ago...I'm sure this is a big surprise. I was one of those people that was SURE I didn't want to have any kids. Really sure....

Or so I thought...I guess life just started happening. I started not having so many deadlines and finish lines around the corner (undergrad, vet school, internship, get a job, move, etc...) and life just started slowing down and falling into place.

Then I reached a point where the days were turning into weeks, the weeks into months and I thought to myself, "Is this it? This is it for the next 50 years?" And so I suppose the natural sequence of events found their way to me....a little late in life but now I'm embracing the path towards pregnancy...

....even though it has not been embracing me.
Here's my journey.

Wow! It looks like a baby!!!

Wow!  How time flies!  I've already had a couple of ultrasounds and it's amazing how quickly just a little "blob" turns into a little person with hands and feet already! Here's from my ultrasound at a little over 12 weeks:
 Crazy huh?!?  Well, at least I thought so!  The little one was moving all around and thought she'd say "Hey, what's up?!"  with this cute one:

I got my results from my ultrascreen which was a combination of bloodwork and a special ultrasound looking for markers for genetic disorders such as Trisomy 18 and Down's syndrome.  I got the call from the nurse that all was looking good.  She said, "In fact, everything looks really great!"  So I was super happy to get that phone call!!


I started taking the obligatory belly pics.  These are from 12 weeks.  I look like my regular slightly pudgey self, but I think I was trying to suck in the pudge a little bit so that therefore made my boobs look gigantic.  Great.  But Randy didn't have a lot of patience so these were the 2 I got.  (Where are the girls to take these pics when you need them that will let you keep taking pics until YOU think you look good? :-)


 So this is the good news from this week....I'll be updating soon with why maybe I shouldn't keep ultrasounding myself at work...
