Jan-30th = We found out we are having a baby girl! She looked so cute and was sucking her thumb. I am so excited that I can finally buy clothes and things for her room with out having to do unisex colors.

Hello everyone and congrats on your pregnancies! When I was 16 I was diagnosed with endometriosis and told it would take awhile for me to get pregnant and I needed to do it as soon as possible. Well, six years later when I decided to try after graduating college, it took approx. 18 days! So much for being infertile. My boyfriend Adam is an officer in the military and I am working towards my masters in social work. We got to hear the heartbeat on 12/19/07 and it was amazing (170bpm)! This is going to be our first and last child so I am trying to enjoy every minute that I can.
