Dan and I would like to announce our pregnancy! I am ten weeks, (for those doing the math, you aren’t really pregnant the first two weeks, so baby was conceived on the honeymoon). We went to the OB today, and had an ultrasound. So we got the first picture of who Dan and I have deemed Peanut. We will find out the sex of the baby on November 7th. So it shall be peanut for a while. The baby looked like a little peanut with flailing arms and legs on the ultrasound. Even after two home tests, and a test at the doctors office, it wasn’t until Dan saw Peanut on the screen that he said, yup we are pregnant, there is a baby in there. Silly boy!

My next doctors appointment is September 12th. I am on a waiting list for a prenatal screening ultrasound. (to tell if the baby has downs syndrome, but that won’t be for another 2-4 weeks) Then I have another appointment on October 10th, and then the big ultrasound that takes an hour, to find all the good stuff like sex and ten fingers and ten toes and what not, is scheduled for November 7th. Fun fun fun!

On a side note, I have a mass in my breast that the doctor is a little worried about, but doesn’t think its cancerous, so I am going on Monday for an ultrasound to determine if its anything that needs to be worried about. (its long and cylindrical, not round and massy like cancer tends to be.)

In the picture, the top arrow is pointing in the general direction of Peanut. He or she was oriented in a head down position, and in this picture you can’t see the head. The lower arrow points to the general area of a bright white line, in the motion on the screen that white line was the baby’s hand moving.
