Baby LeBlanc February 2009!

My second OB appointment was today. Dr. Hernandez did another ultrasound. I measure 7 weeks and 4 days, which puts my due date February 11, 2010. He will do ANOTHER ultrasound in 4 weeks when I will be almost 12 weeks and that should give us an "official" due date, he said it could change a little bit as the baby grows :) We got to hear the heartbeat today, it was pounding along at about 170 beats per minutes which is good. Dr. Hernandez also said I have a retroverted uterus. Which means my uterus basically points the wrong way at the top. No big deal, but it makes it hard to get any good pictures this early in the pregnancy. So no pictures yet, but we go back on July 28th for our next appointment.

Its after midnight so today is Josh's 26th birthday! In the morning we are driving out the Woodlands and spending the day out there. Tomorrow night we are going to the Kidd Rock, Lyndrd Skynrd concert out there. Some of my friends from work and Josh's friends from school are coming to party with us. Will try to update again soon!

Morning Sickness and Anniversary

There hasn't been very much to update lately. I have experienced morning sickness, and it is not very fun. Last week was the worst, I was literally nauseous all the time. Thankfully I only threw up a couple of times though. I have been feeling much better the last few days, so HOPEFULLY the worst of it has passed. Yesterday was our three year wedding anniversary! My mom sent us some a beautiful Anniversary/Josh's birthday/Congrats on baby bouquet. Very thoughtful.






























We didn't do very much for our anniversary. Josh had school all day and I was getting some much neglected housework done. However when Josh got out of school we did drive an hour into Houston to eat at Raising Cane's. We kind of started a tradition of going there on our dating anniversary and decided to go there yesterday. It was sooooo good.
































































Our next OB appointment is on Monday! I will be approximately 7 weeks and Dr. Hernandez will be able to do a more in depth ultrasound. Hopefully I will get my "official" due date then so we can start the countdown! I will update after the appointment.

We're Pregnant!

Josh and I have been trying to conceive since January. We found out May 29, 2009 that we are pregnant! My first OB appointment was June 8th. My doctor was able to do an ultrasound and we saw our little baby bubble. I was barely 4 weeks along, so all you could really see was the embryonic sac. I have another appointment June 29th, and he will do another ultrasound. He should be able to get better measurements then and give us an "official" due date. By my calculations I think it will be sometime in the middle of February 2010. We are so excited!
It was so unreal to find out that I was actually pregnant that I really didn't believe it at first. I took the test when I woke up in the afternoon from work. So I was half asleep and I really didn't think it would be positive because I had taken about 5 negative tests in the weeks before. When I saw the line starting to appear, I was shocked! When Josh got home from school, I showed him the test and sure enough, there was positive line. I always thought I would just know when I was pregnant but I really didn't feel anything (probably because I was so early). It was hard to believe at first. But 5 more positive tests and a bubble on the ultrasound convinced me that this is for real. Josh was so cute the day after we found out he got me a bouquet of crazy daisies and a card, it was supposed to be a baby shower card but he crossed out all the "your baby" phrases and changed it to "our baby"


I will try to keep this blog updated throughout the pregnancy. Since we are living in Texas, its hard to keep everybody updated. So bookmark this website and fuss me if I get lazy and don't post the new stuff.
Love,
Cherish, Josh and baby LeBlanc
