Just us - there’s a little of the before, but mostly it’s the after...

First Sonogram

Today we had our first sonogram to see just how far along I am .

I am 6 1/2 weeks and my due date is January 14, 2007.

The baby's heart rate is 143 BPM.

Chris couldn't believe how big Baby Blob's heart is already.

Everything looks great so far and we are all so thrilled!

Check back later this afternoon to see the baby's first pictures!

Here is the list:

BOYS

Griffin
Trevor
Grayson
Hayes

GIRLS

Avery
Grayson
Maggie

Julien has already vetoed Grayson for a boys name - he says that a little girl at his school is named Grayson (so that's out)!

Update

I have had blood work to see how the pregnancy is progressing and so far everything looks great.

My HCG levels are 22.0 which means that I am very pregnant - I'm guessing that means around 7 weeks!

We will find out for sure on the 26th.

Check back for more updates.

Confirmation!!!!

We just found out yesterday that we are expecting.

We have to go back for our first glimpse of the baby on May 26th.

The doctor isn't sure, but thinks I am between 4 1/2 to 7 1/2 weeks pregnant.

Chris, Julien and I are all very excited about the new addition to our family!

Check back for more details and pictures on the 26th.

The very beginning - February 18, 2006

We spent months preparing for this day.

We were hoping for a winter wedding and wow did we get one!

The high was 32 degrees that day, but the atmosphere was full of excitement!

The day was perfect and we had the best time standing in the freezing cold posing for pictures...we really did! The day passed so quickly and before I knew it, it was over.

This was the beginning of another chapter in our lives and one that would lead us to Addie.
We planned on having a baby right away and we were thrilled to be starting our new lives together.
I can look back on each decision that Chris and I made and realize that our paths were predestined for Addie.
Our lives would never have been complete without her.
Julien had waited so long to become a big brother - he was ecstatic!
After an emotionally and physically difficult time we received the wonderful news that I was pregnant!
Our lives are perfect in every sense and I would not change a moment we have shared or any aspect of our lives!
I thank God each day for my beautiful children and my amazing husband!
