First Sonogram!!

Ohhhh your first sonogram!!! At seven weeks, Dec. 7, 2009, we got to see you and hear your heartbeat. You're going strong at 146 beats per minute. Do you know Mommy's heart rate is only 65 beats per minute? You're definitely working hard in there growing--you're raspberry sized now at about 1/2 inch. We can't even explain the feeling of seeing and hearing you. We were so happy to hear you're healthy and strong and right on schedule in terms of size. And seeing you brought tears to Mommy's eyes. She couldn't see Daddy's eyes and he says he didn't cry, but she's not so sure! During the sonogram we could see you pretty clear at certain times, but the picture we got wasn't clear at all but it's definitely you in there.

Mommy's feeling pretty nauseous these days. She's not throwing up, but doesn't want to eat anything other than crackers and bread! And she's passing up on her old favorites like the iced sugar cookies Daddy brought home for her. Daddy's ready to start making your crib. He got a router table and bits now so he is going to start practicing rounding edges so your fingers don't get stuck. And he's also got your crib design almost finalized so we're going to have to go buy the wood. It's been really cold outside but he's going to work on building despite the cold. He's already a great Daddy!
