Yes, we are indeed Pregnant!

So we are officially announcing that we are pregnant. Joel and I went in for the first ultrasound/appointment today, and I have to say I was very...did I say very?....very nervous.

Most people do not know this, but a year ago (December 2008), we had a miscarriage. We went in for our 9 week appointment, and found that the baby measured in at 6 weeks without a heartbeat. We were devastated....and waited for the impending miscarriage to come a month later.

And so with that in mind, we attended this morning's appointment (at 8 weeks, 4 days along, according to my calculations) more nervous than should be expected.

So here is a video of the appointment, and our wonderful news! A heartbeat...I cried through the whole thing. I couldn't stop...blame it on hormones, but I think it was just the fact that we had a viable, living baby, and I was overjoyed.

Let's not forget Joel! He was super excited. Just look at that cheesy Cheshire Cat grin on his face.
