Hello everyone! Since we are so far away from most of our friends and family we decided to create a blog about our pregnancy and the life of our Baby Huss. I must give credit where credit is due however, I decided to do this after seeing the fantastic blog my cousin Jamie started when she was pregnant - thanks Jamie!!
We found out we were pregnant on August 6th when I took an at home pregnancy test. We kept looking at the test over and over again, just to make sure that positive line wasn't going to disappear....and it didn't! On Monday we went to the doctors to get further confirmation that there would be a Baby Huss coming into our lives. The doctor walked into the room and nonchalantly said "congratulations" - Mark and I just looked at each other and were like, wait what? It's true? We're having a baby! Of course we were very happy!!
Lucky for us we were headed to NY for a wedding (and to see family and friends) in the next few weeks so we'd be able to tell our families and closest friends the fantastic news. Since it was still early - I was only 7 weeks- we were careful to tell our immediate family and closest friends only. Of course, everyone was thrilled as well!
Our first official doctors appointment was Tuesday 23rd. We were so excited to see our little blueberry!! We were able to not only see that it was a healthy growing baby, but we got to hear the heartbeat too!! It was definitely an amazing experience. The doctor told us our due date...April 6, 2012 - my Mom's birthday!!! (i'm guessing this will be enough of a present for her!). We were also told that everything looked great and we had a less than 5% chance of a miscarriage! We felt a sigh of relief after hearing this, and decided it was time to tell the rest of the family!! We are waiting a little longer until we tell the rest of our friends and co-workers so no Facebook shout-outs yet!
So now you're all caught up!! I've been feeling good overall, just tired. No weird cravings yet, although I did enjoy tomato sandwiches for about 4 days straight! Mark has been fantastic, always willing to make dinner while I rest and even give me a nightly foot rub! He's a fantastic support (especially when he tells me how thin and fabulous I'm looking!!)
We're looking forward to this new adventure in our lives!!!
