Good thoughts for Bailey

Poor Bailey is at the vets office. She did something to her hind leg and won't put any weight on it. I'm hoping it's nothing too serious. But she yelps and cries when we try to pick her up :( We will get her after work today.

Things I want

I am such a planner and shopper. It is killing me not to be able to buy anything. 20 weeks is so far away. So I have started online shopping to get ideas.

We love this frame and recieving blanket. I have to show it to my sister b/c I'm sure when she has a baby she will need it in the Steelers.

This is the travel system I have picked out. I love the colors.

We heard the heartbeat

Today was my first official appt with the Dr. Norm went with me. We got to hear the heartbeat. It was so fast. That little sound makes it so real. It brought tears to both of our eyes. Then we got a diaper bag filled with free stuff from the doctor's office. I go back in 3 weeks for a NT scan(genetic testing).

I have the best husband

When I came home from work after the ultrasound I had a nice suprise waiting for me. Norm bought be a dozen roses, a wicker basket that had a bottle of wine that was wrapped in a swaddle me. I have the sweetest husband.

The dating ultrasound

So the day after the positive tests I called the doctor's office to make an appt. They didn't answer the phone so I drove there. Good thing it's close. The receptionist asked for my name and "If I had a problem?" I told her yes, I think I am pregnant. She made an appointment for the next day to have an ultrasound. Norm went with me and we got to see baby whoopsie. At the time she was 2 mm and had a heartbeat of 92 bpm. We go back to the doctor on July 17.

Meet the family

Bailey is our first dog. She was rescued in November of 2003 from AARF in Richmond, VA. Bailey was good training for raising a child. She was the most difficult dog when we first adopted her. Barking nonstop, locking herself in the bathroom, and now she is so well behaved we can't even remember the bad times.

Morgan is my baby. Morgan came about because I won a bet with Norm while bowling. She joined the family in March of 2005. She makes us laugh everyday. Recently she has become an escape artist. For whatever reason she thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

The newest, temporary addition to the family is Linus. He is a dog we are fostering for Eskie Rescuers United. Norm and I decided that we had the time, space and love to give and wanted to help out this very special breed. Linus is 4 years old and a goofball. He loves hanging out with his fursister.

So as you can see we love our dogs. Yes we are having a baby and no we are not giving up the dogs. So please don't ask.

And so it begins

On June 23 we got the suprise of our life. I got a positive pregnancy test. When I showed it to Norm his response was "Maybe it's old". So off to the store we went and I proceeded to get 3 more positive results. Norm tried shaking the word pregnant out of one of the tests but it wouldn't budge :). We are expecting our 1st 2 legged child.
