The news is out!

We are so happy to have our news out to our parents and siblings. We announced it to both sets of parents by presenting them with cards. The card to Zach's parents was for their anniversary, which was October 20th. The card to my parents was for my dad's birthday... only 2 weeks early :) Zach and I are both the youngest in our families so the card read. "Your baby..." "is having... A BABY!" "June 17, 2009" When we announced it to my parents we were also wearing t-shirts we purchased. Mine read "Eating for two... sleeping for two... shopping for two" and Zach's read "Daddy to be"! Yet to come is a picture of our shirts! We would have loved to announce our pregnancy in person to both sides of our families but with the craziness of life we decided to announce it through this blog site. I will be 7 weeks on Wednesday and will return to the doctor on November 12th when I will be 9 weeks pregnant. Thanks everyone for your excitement!

Back for a second ultrasound

Last Wednesday, October 22nd, I went to the doctor because of a concern. He chose to do another ultrasound and he said things appear to be progressing as they should be. Now you can see our little poppy seed a little better... I don't think he/she is as small as a poppy seed anymore though!

Our family begins!

We are excited to announce our pregnancy to everyone! We found out that we were pregnant when Ann took a pregnancy test on Monday, October 6th, and got a PREGNANT result. We weren't sure whether or not this was real so she took one again on Friday and we received the same result... PREGNANT!

Off to the doctor...

We found out from the doctor today, October 11th, that we are going to be parents! Today the doctor did a sonogram and we saw our little poppy seed who is only 1.8 mm in size! We went to the doctor as soon as we could so Ann is only 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant. We will go back to the doctor at 9 weeks, Nov. 12th, to hear it's heartbeat! At that point it will be about an inch/24 mm in length. We are extremely excited for this new phase in our lives... our little poppy seed is due on June 17th, 2009! The arrow in the sonogram is pointing to our baby!
