Today is the day...

We couldn't wait any longer!!! After our first ultra sound yesterday, it all seemed so real! Ok so obviously we are pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!! {We were trying, just in case you were wondering ha ha} I am almost 9 weeks along. I know it is always a little sketchy in the first trimester but we couldn't hold it in any longer! I am due September 8th. Some of you may already know or have heard through the grapevine... Here are the first pictures of our baby!

The Dr said the baby was healthy and we got to hear the little mini heartbeat. I got all teary when I heard it, I just can't believe we are going to bring a little life into this world. We couldn't be happier or feel more blessed. The doc asked how long we had been trying and I told him it only took a couple of months to get pregnant and he said and I quote, "We should call you Mertyl" ha ha I am so glad that we were able to conceive withouth problems, there are many people who can't and my heart breaks for them.

My Dr is awesome and comes highly recommended from my friends that live up here so the baby and I are in good hands :) I will for sure keep everyone updated on all the baby happenings! I want a girl and Chris says he wants a boy, mostly because I say I want a girl ha ha!! But obviously we will be happy to just have a healthy baby.

Do you guys have any hunches or feelings on what the sex will be? We still have to wait a while to find out but it is always fun to play the guessing game. We did the pencil, string, and needle trick over my wrist and it said a boy.... but I am still holding out for a girl, just in case.
