Morning Sickness, huh?

Wow, thank you Mom & Grandma...no sickness at all here! I am so very fortunate that I have not experienced hardly any negative symptons. Indigestion and always feeling tired is all that has been different through my pregnancy, I am currently in my last week of my first trimester, 12 weeks! I can't believe how fast time is passing by! At 8 weeks we saw our (BB) Baby Bannerman in his/her first picture, ultrasound. Words can't explain the feeling of seeing that little baby's heart beating so fast, it is truly a miracle! This week, 12 weeks, we got to hear BB's heart beat for the first time on a Doppler, wow it was so wonderful and fast, 155 beats/minute! It sounded like a washing maching swooshing...

Wow, 2006 is going to be a great year! We just bought our first house and have been extremely busy and stressed! On Friday, March 17, 2006...it was a normal morning. Getting up ready for work and looking forward to having some green beer in the evening...little did we know that in a matter of minutes we would have the best news ever!
