First Pictures

Several updates this time. First off, we were finally able to see the little cashew. We had an appointment with our pernatologist...we had the ultra-sound and we heard the heart beat. What a completely amazing moment that is - especially for first time parents. Chris and I sat there is complete amazement.

The nurse joked that that maybe there would be 2, but there was only just one - we are just so thrilled. The heartbeat was 163 beats per minute. I thought that was crazy fast, but it was perfectly normal. The doctor also changed my due date to August 2.

Besides seeing the baby, I can also tell he/she is growing like crazy - I'm still too small for maternity clothes, but I'm too fat for my regular pants. So, I had to do a little shopping this week. I'm not even too sure how long these new pants will fit.

In other news, I have a tooth that needs to be pulled - which is causing me some concern. I'm going to need a sedative for the procedure and the dentist isn't too sure if the doctor is going to allow that. We see my OBGYN on Monday, so I'm sure that will be a topic of conversation.
