Here is an update, as I am sure everyone reading this already knows that a baby is on the way!
I had what should have been my first OB appt in the end of December. My blood work is all good and it is now on the books that have a blood type of A neg. Rhogam here I come! Maybe it will work out like it did for my Mom. 4 A neg babies and one A pos father, we definitely beat the odds there!
The baby's heartbeat was easy to find and was 168 at 12 weeks which is good. I don't know if that says anything about gender, but I have 2 sisters and a friend that are convinced it is a girl. Actually my friend, Anna, had a dream that she could see the baby through my stomach and that it is a girl! On the flip side, everyone that works in Microbiology has had a boy first. Apparantly this trend has held true for over 30 years. I wonder if I will break it? We will have to wait until July to find out!
Here is an ultrasound pic from my 7 week ultrasound. For those of you that don't know, there was some bleeding so I had 2 ultrasounds by week 10. Everything is fine though.

Brian was so excited that the baby was going to have a tail... I really had to break it to him that it goes away in the 8-9 week. In this photo you can also see the yolk sac on the bottom. That was a surprise to me, I hadn't read anything about that. I guess we are more like chickens than I thought!
I guess I will get my practice peeing in a cup as I will have to do it at every appt! Not very good at it now, but I guess practice makes perfect! :)

Heidi (and Brian), I am so excited for you!! Congratulations! I know how scary early bleeding can be - I had that with Samantha. We thought I had miscarried, but she managed to hang on! Sounds like you have a tough one, too. Sending wishes and positive energy for a routine pregnancy and delivery, and a healthy, happy baby!
So excited!
The English teacher in me who is foever correcting students' work had to read the part about "the babies heartbeat" a couple of time to make sure you weren't having multiples, but all seems normal! Can't wait to hear more!
Good luck peeing in the cup - You'll be an expert before you know it!
