Some Big News!

We're pregnant with Baby Number 2! Ella is very proud she will be a Big Sister. She still doesn't understand the whole process, of course, but she will randomly tell me, "Baby Mommy's tummy!"

Yesterday we had our first prenatal visit and were given an ultrasound to check everything out and be sure our dates were correct. So, here are a couple of pictures of our sweet little bean.
Gestational Age: 9 weeks, 2 days
Weight Gain: 2 lbs
Blood Pressure: 100/63
Fetal Heart Rate: 158 BPM

According to our dates, our little one is due around September 29th. He/she was measuring a few days bigger than that by ultrasound (Sept 25), but they are keeping the other as our "official" due date. Everything checked out perfectly and it was wonderful to see this little being wiggling around and to hear her/his heartbeat.

I've had a rough beginning to this pregnancy, but I'm hoping things will be looking up here in the next couple of weeks. It is especially frustrating to realize I've totally gained weight already even though I feel like I can hardly keep food down... I guess that comes with the territory, though. :)
