The first 12 weeks

We are going to be parents! At 35 and 45 we are starting this adventure into the great unknown. I took a test November 2nd, after a very nauseous evening watching Journey. I had a feeling something was slightly off. I was right.. Pregnant!

Rob had not gotten home from work yet, so I only had a short time to figure out how to tell him this news.. News that will forever change our lives.
He was shocked. His face went white and then mine.. I wasn't sure if he was mad or happy or just needed some time to take it all in. He gave me a hug and kiss and I knee then that it was all going to be ok.
I made a doctors appointment the next Monday. They were able to get me in that Friday. So I went in and they confirmed my test, gave me a stack of dos and dont's, scheduled an appt with the OB, and sent me on my way. My next appointment was for November 28th, 3weeks later. Rob was able to meet me for the appointment.
During this appointment we were able to see the babies heartbeat and a ultrasound image. Also confirm the due date, July 13th, 2013. A few days later than I had calculated. It was amazing to see that little flicker on the screen. This really cemented the fact that there was a living being inside me.
