On Sunday June 21st we celebrated the end of the first trimester and the so-called "easy and fun" part of the pregnancy. Just two days earlier, Brandy and I rushed to the ER to find out that she has a kidney stone. If you are interested in being overly concerned, Google it. We're told that it's fairly common and the only thing to do is wait for it to pass. So, over 120 ounces of water a day and here we are...still waiting.
On the positive side to the ER, we got an early sonogram in which the baby seems to be moving around a lot! It was the first time we saw arms and legs. The baby was putting on a show. The tech told us that, although it's too early to tell, she saw the tell tale signs of the baby being a girl! Of course she told us not to make any decisions yet.
On Wednesday we had a follow up with the OBGYN where we had another sonogram. Here we actually saw fingers and facial features! In some ways this whole episode has been a blessing. We get to see the baby more frequently.
I will post the pictures next week when I can get them scanned in. We're more excited every day!

I have to disagree with the first trimester being "easy and fun." I think that's the second one. Enjoy every minute! It was so good to see you guys up there beaming this morning. I'm keeping you in my thoughts. - Amy
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love the photo of you two above - gorgeous hair Brandy!
Really, I meant that we were ending the frist trimester entering into the second and that was the "easy and fun" part. This is my first shot at blogging. :)
