Went to the my doctor appointment last night...nothing too exciting to report. We were in and out in about 15 min. They checked Baby B's heartbeat and it was 152 or 153 (that was Dave's first time hearing it :) and told us all of the tests that we had done w/ the 1st Trimester Screening all came back negative - yea! We go back in another month for a checkup, so everything is moving along! I've got to get more blood taken for another birth defect test (cystic fibrosis, I think?) I'm getting used to all of the needles.

Switching to another subject, for all of you who suffered thru our flooding stories we got proof last week that the sump pumps we put in actually work! It was kind of a good and a bad feeling - bad because we knew there was water (from the 3-4 days of solid rain) but good because it justifies all the money we put into the stupid sump pump system! We were kind of worried that it might get that musty smell going, but it didn't. So we were pretty happy :)

What's going on with us

As most of you know by now, Dave and I are expecting our first baby in mid-July! We are very excited and getting used to the news :) On Tues. 1/16/07, we just started week 15 so we're well on our way. We've already gotten sonogram pictures at our 1st Trimester Screeing but I have to get them scanned in and get them posted for you all to enjoy. I heard the heartbeat as well, but Dave missed that appointment but we both got to see the heart beating on the sonogram. I know some of you were asking about how fast the heartbeat was and it was 158. Our next appt. is on Mon. 1/22/07 so we'll let you know what else we find out.

And no, we are not planning on finding out the baby's gender. Dave and I agreed that this is one of life's great surprises so we're going to wait!
