If my memory serves me, we had our initial Dr appointment
for G around 10+ weeks, so her first sonogram showed a little peanut baby J We didn’t have to wait
very long to share our news – I believe we started to spread the word to our parents
and siblings between 11-12 weeks. Shortly
after, we became public with the news.
This time around, it ended up that we took the pregnancy
test (actually 3 tests) around 6 weeks and had my first Dr appt around 8+
weeks. We thought we were further along, but the sonogram tech corrected us and
let us know we are due July 15, 2012. So this first sonogram was the earliest I’ve
ever seen. It looked like an x-ray of my
stomach showing a swallowed wedding ring (the “ring” was really the yolk sac
and the “gem” was the baby). Even though we were pretty early in the game, we
were able to hear the heartbeat – what a joy! Finding out so early tested our
resolve to keep quite; it didn’t last long. We shared with our parents and
siblings around 9 weeks and became public between 12-13 weeks. It’s really nice
to not have to keep our happy news under wraps!
I just loved seeing this little "gem" so early on, what a miracle! I'm determined to hear the heart beat too! BTW I finally figured out how to use this new blog site and have begun to post all my comments today, but I've been a member with comments to offer from the very beginning, I just didn't know how the blog and followers sign-in worked! Just wanted those of you out there to know that I'm a serious grand-ma duck and I keep my brood close :)
