It's Confirmed...

It's confirmed...Brett and I are preggers! You would think that 4 positive pregnancy tests would have you convinced but there's something about seeing it on the screen...

Ok so after all the drama last week we had our first ultrasound today! About last week, to make a very long story short, I ended up finding a new doctor closer to home. That's a little hard because I had been a patient at the old practice for over 10 years and I really liked my doctor but this is much better in the long run and the new practice is fantastic. Anyhow, about the ultrasound...it's amazing what technology can do these days!

Little Bit had his/her first pictures taken today a few profile pics and then a couple looking down so that we could see the face and the eyes sockets. The tech said not to worry that the baby looked a little bit like alien offspring because that's the way its supposed to look so...don't worry that the one picture makes Little Bit look a little like alien offspring...that's the way it's supposed to look :)

After taking all of the measurements (which for those of you who don't know the machine automatically calculates your due date off of those measurements) we found out that I'm a little bit farther along than we thought. Today I am 11 weeks and 5 days which is about a week ahead of where we thought we were so we're looking at a due date of March 18th. So many wonderful people that we know who have that birthday and my Nana, who passed right before Brett and I got married, always thought she was more Irish than she really was because she was born on the 17th, Saint Pattie's Day (not to mention her name was Patricia).

The fact that the due date is earlier also means that our little bit will be only about 2 weeks younger than his/her Lindberg cousin as Christian and Natalie's first is due March 1st. It will be neat having a cousin on one side so close and age and on the other side of the family cousin Kaley will be an excellent role model at just about a year and a half older.

So we're gonna plug along for the next 6 or so months, I'm assured that it goes quickly but right now March seems ages away. Tomorrow is our first "OB" doctor's appt. so I'll finally get some questions asked. For instance...does the fact my mom had a 10 pound 12 ounce baby have any impact on the size of ours??? WOWZERS...
