Our little lima bean

We had our first doctor's appointment yesterday. Something a little more exciting than the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. :) He gave us some paperwork, did an exam, had bloodwork done, and all that fun stuff. But the most exciting part was seeing the little thing! He assured us that there is only one, it is in the right place, and has a heartbeat. He only turned the screen around so I could see it for just a second, but I did see a little blob, and could see the little flicker of the heart. That was such a relief to both of us to know that all is well and good so far. We only have one picture, and it's hard to see anything, but...



He put as at 7 weeks, 0 days, with a due date of February 11, 2010. Our next appointment will be July 30. Of course, we'll keep you posted. I've found that very few of my pants will button, which depressed me at first since I'm still so early, but I'm just going to embrace it! I'm still feeling tired, and have had a few days now where I'm not feeling so great. No awful days yet, and so far my acupressure bracelet has been working when I needed it.

In other news, we found out that we are moving to Blaine, Washington! Details are still unclear on when exactly we will be going, but probably in around 2-3 months. While we are obviously sad to leave our families, especially with the baby on the way, we are so excited to be leaving Yuma, and to be starting a new adventure with our own new little family. It will only be temporary, and hopefully in 2-3 years we will be able to get back to San Diego.
