We are 1/4 of the way there!!

So we are now 10 weeks along! Double digits baby! Not to mention we are 25% done with our pregnancy and have crossed over into the "Fetus" stage, no longer an embryo!

That's all. Nothing more exciting to announce than that, but as far as I'm concerned, that's pretty darned exciting! LOL

And here's a little picture to give you an idea as to how big our baby is now!

9 weeks 2 days

OK, so Dr. Robins had officially cut us loose and handed us over to Dr. Hernandez, and no more ultrasounds were ordered until our 12 week scan....mom and I decided we wanted to hear the baby's heart beat, but instead we got another ultrasound! LOL

I don't know what we would do if we didn't have these at our disposal! Anyway, thought I would share the new Baby Gregory pics! OH! And we got to see the baby moving, kicking and flapping it's little chicken wing limb buds all over the place! It was the coolest thing I've ever seen! I'm glad we recorded it on DVD.

First OB Appointment & A New Name!

So yesterday was my first OB appointment. Exciting for me, but in reality no big deal. Mostly just chatting about how excited we are. LOL But still just one more little milestone for me to swoon about.

We were able to hear the heart beat with just the Doppler, instead of by ultrasound. He said it was cause I am nice and thin. Isn't that the cutest? My doctor called me skinny! LOL But still fun to hear none the less. Now I'm actually considering buying one! LOL

Today we are nine weeks on the dot. I am so happy about how great I have been feeling and how quickly things seem to be flying by! So far the only down side is that by the time I get off work, I am exhausted! So I feel like I am sleeping away my pregnancy. LOL At least I'm not puking it away. But I'm also pretty convinced that frame of mind has a lot to do with it. Then again, maybe I just really lucked out!

Oh! And, today at 1:30 pm, I have my court hearing and will then become Amanda Gregory! So I took the afternoon off to, duh, go to the court house, but also to run to the DMV and the Social Security office. Apparently in the state of Washington, they allow you 10 days from the date of the hearing to get those things changed over. So I might as well get it done right away!

I guess I better start practicing writing my new last name!

8 weeks 2 days

So today was another ultrasound. The last one until January. After today, Dr. Robins is cutting us loose and turning us over to our regular OB/GYN. With a positive pregnancy test, heart beat, and regular growth, we are officially pregnant and have a normal pregnancy now! WooHoo!

As usual, I held my breath until I saw the little heart beating. What a relief! Or maybe I am just a little paranoid. Either way, I feel better. On ultrasound today, our little baby looks just like a gummy bear. It was hilarious to think of something similar in size and shape to our baby. Especially something that is edible. LOL We saw the little arm and leg buds, and they were so cute! Then again I think I am partial.

The 3D/4D still isn't turning out fantastic, yet. Still a little too small. But next time, I'm sure we will be able to see much better.

We are so excited every step of the way! Time is flying by so quickly I can hardly believe it. We're already 2 months along! Crazy stuff. I cant wait until the end of January, when we can find out what we're having! What a long 6 weeks!

Hopefully I get some "Patience" pants for Christmas! LOL

If you notice more on the left of our little blob, there are four more prominent white dots. Those are the arm and leg buds. The head is on the right side. Think of it as if a gummy bear were laying on it's side looking at you. That's about right!

7 weeks 2 days

We had another ultrasound this morning! Our little baby is growing very well, and is right on target. And finally no more transvaginal ultrasounds! LOL

So we have one more ultrasound next week, then no more for a while. Probably not until January for our 12 weeks scan.

So far so good! YAY!

I think Matt gets more excited each time we get to see the baby. He asks lots of good questions, and it's great to see him so involved. I don't think I could possibly love him more than I do now. I guess we'll see though huh? LOL

Happy Thanksgiving!

I know I'm a little late. LOL But I still wanted to get it out there. Happy Thanksgiving!

Matt and I are so thankful for all the love and support from our friends and family. We really don't express it enough, but we appreciate every single one of you!

We had a great Turkey Day. We spent it with my family. Which was great of course, but at the same time, we were also pretty disappointed that we didn't get to go down to Grandma and Grandpa Clark's. Matt had to work the day after Thanksgiving, so we couldn't make the long drive there and back in time. Maybe next year!

I love Thanksgiving food. It's my favorite. I love all the special family recipes we have. It really makes it all the more special for me.

Anyway! Hope all of you had a wonderful holiday and happy shopping!

We have another ultrasound on Thursday! YAY! Oh! AND, our baby is the size of a blueberry this week! Can you believe it?
