Well, there have been many complaints about the lack of blogging, so I just thought I'd offer my explanation. There are 3 reasons... 1) Every evening, around 4:30 or 5:00, I feel rather like yakking. 2) By the time I'm done with school, I'm lucky if I have the energy to get home. And... 3) The biggest thing in my life for the last month I haven't been able to blog about! That, of course, is that WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!! We had our first appointment today, and got our first ultrasound, so we are now telling, well, anyone and everyone who makes the mistake of running into us! On the ultrasound above, the white line is the measurement. The big blob at the top of the line is the head, the rest is the body. It was unspeakably cool to finally see our baby. It makes it so much more real (not that the whole yakking thing didn't make it pretty real) and we are so excited!As for the details...
I am about 10 weeks along.
Due date is September 20th (I know, not the best time for a teacher to have a baby).
The baby is 3.07 cm long.
We did not see it move, but we did see the heartbeat, which was really cool.
Anyway, so we are really, really excited, and I'm sure I'll keep you updated as life progresses!
