For the past three months Mike and I have been keeping a BIG secret. We can finally announce we are expecting a baby at the end of August (the 25th to be exact), so we are a little over 12 weeks now. We are over the moon and in complete shock that this is finally happening for us. Yesterday we went to the doctor where we got to hear the little heart beat. It is a sound that I will never forget. Tears were immediately in both of our eyes.
After experiencing a loss, we wanted to make sure that everything was completely healthy with this pregnancy before we let the cat out of the bag. Being able to finally tell everyone has been the best part. Phone calls, text messages, in person, emails have been SUPER fun! For those that knew how long we have been struggling with this thank you, thank you, thank you for your continued love, support and prayers. We ask that you continue to remember us and we will be updating the blog when we find out any more news. We go back in 4 weeks for our first ultrasound since we found out. Our doc said yesterday that we "should" be able to find out the sex then if baby Nowell will cooperate. We do however have a pic of our first ultrasound back at 6 weeks. It looks more like an egg with a dot in the middle. there is a second egg in the pic, but there wasn't a heartbeat in it, and yesterday we only heard one heartbeat, which we are still ecstatic about.
