8 weeks and first midwife appointment

This week you have been growing for 8 weeks!  Your dad and I went to the doctor's office for the first time on Friday of last week.  We actually had our first ultrasound and were able to see your heart beat!  It was amazing.  I was so relieved.  I have been so worried that we might lose you.  I have heard that once an ultrasound is done and the heartbeat is there, there is only a 3% chance of miscarriage.

Your dad's side of the family was in town for Easter this week.  It's hard to believe that we likely won't see any of them until after you are here!  They made us lots of Indian food.  Your grandma wanted pictures of "her baby", so we made her copies of the ultrasound picture.

My parents also came to town and brought lots of tasty food: lemon bars, ham, fluff, and strawberry salad.

I was dealing with a lot of nausea over the weekend.  Your uncle Kevin sent me some good ideas on how to deal with the issues.  It has been a lot better so far this week though.

We are so excited to have you here!
