Our Big Announcement

Well, the news is finally out...we are expecting our first baby! I am 13 weeks along right now. Our baby's due date is June 8th. We are very excited and I am a little relieved that the news is out. Now my mom doesn't have to worry about spilling the beans. I know she has just been dying to tell everyone. The reason we wanted to wait is that I was having some problems weeks 5 through 8. We just decided to wait until we went to a couple more appointments. We had one this afternoon and we listened to the baby's heartbeat for the first time. That was pretty cool. It was beating 147 times per minute! Crazy, isn't it? The doctor said everything is looking fine still. What a relief. Here is a picture of the ultrasound we had done four weeks ago. It truly is amazing that this is a human being...only 26mm!
