25 week ultrasound

Because of some complications I was having (more on that later), we were treated to pictures of our sweet baby at just past 25 weeks. My mom had come to visit and help with things while I was sick, so "Grammy Lou" was able to see her granddaughter in action for the very first time. Baby Roberts was very cooperative and even smiled for the camera. Her vitals were perfect, and she measured in the 61st percentile - weighing in at a whopping two pounds. We're looking forward to seeing her again at our next ultrasound on November 21!

The sweetest profile we've ever seen!

it's official!

We had our first doctor's appointment today and I was so nervous! Other than major fatigue and some nausea, I don't feel much different, so I was eager to know if my body was playing tricks on me or if this was the real thing.

Technology is so amazing - at less than eight weeks, we could see our little one floating around and growing with all its might. Hearing the heartbeat for the first time was incredible! Today's visit was just a quick "confirmation of pregnancy," but it gave us great peace of mind - and a due date: January 28, 2009! We go back July 2 for our full pregnancy work-up and a second sonogram.

We know our little one doesn't look like much now, so Robin modified the image with a color picture of what it should look like at about 7 weeks.
