This website is greeaat! I love hearing about everyones experiences and being able to share mine :)
My husband and I recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary. We have been together forever and have talked about how exciting it would be to get pregnant for a couple years now so you can imagine how excited we were when we found out (after our first try)! We don't care what we have but we cannot wait to find out. Some days we think it's a girl, some day's we think it's a boy, so we don't really have a clue. I think it's going to be a boy because I didn't have morning sickness at all. But, the heartbeat is 156 and I've been getting headaches and pimples lately, so maybe it's a girl??? This whole experience is so exciting everyday! March 16 can't come soon enough, we can't wait to meet our little baby!!!!!

10/14/07: Definatly felt the baby moving around today :) It felt like little flicks on the inside of my belly and it lasted about 1/2 hr. IT was so exciting. Rob can't feel it yet from outside but he was still just as excited :) WE find out in 2 wks (10/26) and it can't get here quick enough! If it is a boy the name will be Graham Patrick, if it's a girl Reese (possibly Reese Olivia?) . I have bedding pretty much picked out for either one, i swear all i do all day is browse the internet looking for baby things :) Oh and I totally have pregnancy brain. I completely forget things i'm doing right in the middle of doing them, or what i'm saying, lol.

10/28:
Wellll....we found out we're having a girl, or at least we're almost 100% sure!!! Sooo EXCITED! but will be more excited when it's verified. Our experience with our 20 wk scan was not all that great. the tech didn't explain anything to us while she did it or point out hands and feet or anything and I only got to see the screen for about a minute :( Is this normal? Also, nobody told us how much the baby weighs or how big it is? I'm pretty upset and I'm going to call and complain and see about getting it re-done...this is our first baby and it just wasn't as special and exciting as I think it should have been. Then to top it off, the tech barely even tried to tell us the sex and was nonchalant about it! When the doc came in he looked briefly and said he had a limited view but that he was almost 100% sure that it was a girl! We were both super excited about that. Also, did everyone else get pics of the feet or hands or whole baby? All we got was 2 profile shots (which are adorable, but we thought we would get more)..are we just being greedy?

11/12: Well, we had our 2nd u/s on Friday. My little sister (god-mother to be) and husband were with me and we had a much better experience!! I went to an u/s center with a perscription from my doctor and was able to see a monitor in front of me the whole time. The tech was much nicer and explained each organ/body part she was looking at and she gave us about 10 new pics, lol...much better than the 4 of the same exact thing we got last time. We got a hand shot and a picture of her feet which is super cute because her legs were crossed like a little lady so we can count all 10 toes. She was actually sleeping the whole time, but the tech did get a perfect shot to say we are 100% having a girl. Now we cannot wait to meet Reese Olivia Murray. She is 15oz and about 15cm and beautiful! At the end the tech woke up the baby and we got to watch her stretch on the screen which was soo precious. Then she did a little pose (one knee up/one down and her left arm extended over her lifted knee and her right arm bent behind her head) she looked like a little beach bum in there (which is fine with me because I <3 the beach!!). I am so excited to go buy all the frilly lacy girly things I can! Hoping to start on the nursery soon and planning to register this weekend (i just wish i looked more pregnant than i do because i feel like if im registering i should be very pregnant looking, lol).

Also, I am starting to write a little book about baby Reese Olivia. I am writing about everything from the day we found out to all the books we bought to learn about being pregnant, to all our appointments, and eventually the birth and anything I;m experiencing or feeling while being pregnant. I plan to try and write about her first year too, we will see (i sure wont have as much time on my hands then), but I just thought it would be so awesome to see what my mom thought and felt when she was pregnant with me and when i was born that I wanted to do it for her. I am planning to get a nice cover and have it bound and maybe put some pics in it too. Is anyone else working on a project like this? I will let you know how it turns out.
