Frequently Asked Questions: |
|
|
|
|
* Did you plan to actively
try? - Exactly! (Thank you, Taking Charge of Your Fertility!) |
|
|
* When did you find out
you were +? - Tuesday morning, December 2nd, 2003, (courtesy of First
Response.) |
|
|
* Has Susie been really
sick? - Thank goodness, no. She was really queasy for 3 weeks (from 5.5
through
8.5 weeks pregnant) but never actually got sick. During the second trimester,
she had bursts of energy, but now she's really tired, again, and
she gets out-of-breath very easily. |
|
|
* When was your first
ultrasound? - At our very first big OB appointment at 6 weeks, December
19, 2003. |
|
|
* When did you first hear
the baby's heartbeat? - At our 10 week appointment, January 16, 2004. |
|
|
* When did Susie
start showing enough that anyone could tell she's actually expecting? - At
22 weeks - a little later than most, but she's not complaining! |

Ultrasound Pics at 19.5
Weeks: |

These
first two are of his face – you can see his skull, eyes, nose, (very
skeletal.) You can also see his hand diagonally
right below his chin.
Below is the “proof of boy” – I added
that blue on there, so you can tell “what’s what.” Heehee! |

Initial Euphoria: |
|
|
|
|
Two
lines = positive! December 2, 2003 |
Our
first ultrasound - Baby was just a tiny blob between the two tiny + signs.
(We could see much more detail live, though.) |

Telling Our Families: |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
We told Susie's parents with Susie
there live in NC, JB saying "Hi!" over the phone, and then
Susie dropping pics of the positive tests in their laps. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
We told Susie's grandmommy,
brother, and the rest of her family on Christmas by showing them our first
ultrasound picture. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
We made
"Grandfather/Grandmother/Aunt/Uncle-To-Be" T-shirts for JB's
family and had them open them all together as soon as we arrived for
Christmas there! |
