Hello everyone! My name is Jenny and my husband (Jason) and I had only been trying for a few months when our BFP came about! This is the first time I've ever been pregant in my 28 years and it has been an amzing experience thus far! My parents and friends are my support network and have been so wonderful since day one - which was 7/24/08 when I found out I was 3 weeks and 3 days pregnant. There seems to be a baby boom going on since after I found out, it seems like everyone close to me did as well...maybe I'm contagious!

On October 28th we will have our second ultrasound and hopefully find out the sex of our little peanut. Our first ultrasound was 8/28 when I began spotting because I had lifted a 40 pound bag of dog food for the fur babies! All is well though, I just need to remember to take it easy!

Update 10/31: We had the ultrasound and the tech said she's pretty sure its a girl. We're going back on the 18th of November to double check. My AFP results are also in and completely normal!

Update 12/5/2008: Well alot has happened in the past month and a half. I was put on medical disability due to circumstances at work, placenta previa, premature labor, and some other things. I just have to take it easy and listen to my doc! Bedrest for me for the second 1/2 of the pregnancy. I miss my job and (most of) the people there! Its hard to be by yourself day in, day out, but she's so worth it. Jay decided to name her Brianna Grace Penny and I just love that name. I have my next u/s and checkup on December 23rd so I'll update ya more then!
