First Ultrasound 8-3-07

Hello Everyone,
Another update on Baby Frick. I am sure that some of you don't want the play by plays…but you're going to get them anyway! HA.
We had our first ultrasound on Friday. My mom's friend did one for me while we were back in Nebraska this weekend. The baby looks good. Based on the crown to rump measurement we are right at 8 weeks so starting 9 weeks today. The baby had a strong heart beat at 171 bpm. It was so fast and so amazing to hear! Yes, I cried! The baby kept moving around. I don't think it liked the wand being in it's space! There are only 2 chambers to the heart right now so the heart beat just went back and forth between the two. It was amazing!
For all of you who know how much I was "doubting" being pregnant. I finally believe it! I saw the little peanut and heard it's heart beat. They say that the chances of miscarriage go way down once you have heard a heart beat, so praise God.

God is sooooo good and his creation is so amazing!

Please keep Eli and I and baby Frick in your prayers!

First Dr. Appointment 7-25-07

Eli and I had our first Dr appointment yesterday. It was pretty anticlimactic. We were hoping to have our first ultrasound but the Dr wanted to wait until 9 weeks. They did an exam and took some blood and then we mainly just talked about health history and then any questions that I had.
I asked her if they did a pregnancy test of the urine sample and she laughed and said no, we expect that you know that before you come in. I told her that I had a positive home pregnancy test…and Eli chimed in and told her that I took 4 and they were all positive! She just laughed at me!
We have an ultrasound scheduled in 2 weeks, but my Aunt Deb is going to do one for me when I go back to NE the first weekend in August. I just need some proof that there really is a baby in there!
I feel great so far. No sickness just tired. Please keep us in your prayers though.
The Dr. said that I was ahead of the game being on the prenatal vitamins for a year and starting the DHA supplements-Thanks Stacy!
I really liked the Dr and the nurse did a great job with my blood draw-Thanks for the recommendation Libby.
Love you all.
