Going on week 14

Well, last Monday we got to meet our little one again for the second time, and this time its little heartbeat was 155 beats per minutes! I can honestly say that this is music to mine and Michael's ears. We also got to see the little baby's foot inside my belly, and it had 5 teeny tiny toes...so cool. It is so hard for me to believe that I have a little 3 inch baby inside of me. I have the joy of having access to a doppler where I work, so many times I will find the heartbeat myself and call Michael so he can hear too. He especially likes to put it on speakerphone so he and his friends at work can dance to our baby's rhythm:).
Michael and I have decided not to find out what we are having, so we went and bought 2 separate "take home" outfits for our little one, so it will be interesting to see what it gets to wear. Been having lots of headaches and lower backaches, but not so nauseous thank goodness. Our baby is currently the size of a peach, so it is definitely getting bigger:). Anyway, forgive my not so creative writing, but this is our update, and our next appointment in St. Patty's Day!

Meeting Tator

Just so you know, tator is the nickname that Michael has given to our unborn child:). Today we went to our first OB appointment, which was very eventful. We got to meet little tator for the first time. We got to see it move and we got to see and hear its little heartbeat, which was 178 beats per minute. Experiencing this moment is one that everyone should get to experience in their lifetime, what a miracle. We are so thankful for all of the prayers during this time, I truly believe that that is what has been keeping me sane. We will have another ultrasound in 3 and a half weeks, so I will have more for you then!

Initial Post

Just wanted to have a common website for all of our family and friends (if they want to) to come a get an update, since life is about to get so crazy for Michael and I. As most of you know, I am in school at Clemson University, and I am about to begin my second complete semester on Thursday. I am very anxious and nervous about this because for the first time in my life I am going to have work, school, or clinicals everyday of the week, which leaves little time for studying or a social life. Michael always stays busy with his job, but I think he will find more free time since he won't have to hang out with me much for the next 3 months:). We have thoroughly enjoyed our holidays this year. We got to got to the Grand Ole Opry with my family, and we spent Christmas morning with Michael's family in Elberton. We also got the greatest Christmas gift of all....we found out we are pregnant!!! We feel very blessed that we got this news, and we are praying that every thing is going to be okay with the pregnancy. I will keep you posted on the news, and I hope that you all will keep us and our little miracle from God in your prayers!
