Ultrasound

I had my ultrasound today to check and see how the subchorionic hemorrhage was looking. The tech did warn us that we still may not be able to see a heartbeat quite yet, since it's still early. She said typically they don't see a heartbeat until around 6 1/2 weeks. Well, we were able to see one!!!!! :D  The baby looked wonderful! Heartbeat was 124bpm. Baby is measuring right on track from my LMP(last menstrual period). 6 weeks 2 days along. So I'll be due September 4th. 

I talked to my doctor's nurse after my appointment. It turns out that I do still have the subchorionic hemorrhage. I still have to take it easy for another week or two. But it should all heal on its own. 

My next appointment is January 24th. Which is my 8 week appointment. We'll find out then if my doctor wants me to have another ultrasound or not. 

The ultrasound makes everything so surreal. I just can't believe we're going to have 3 little ones running around. God has truly blessed our family!!! 

And I just want to thank my husband for surprising me and showing up at the ultrasound!!! It really made my day. He wasn't sure if he would be able to make it because he had an appointment to go to himself. But he did. And it was a wonderful surprise. :) I have the best husband in the world!!!!

First Test

It's official 

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!! 

We found out Friday, December 28th that we're expecting #3!!!!!!

I was only one day late and decided just for the fun of it, that I would take a test. Well....SURPRISE!!!!!!!! lol 

I told Seth that evening when he got home from work. I put the test in a box and had him open it. He's super excited!!!! :) And of course my Dad found out then too, since he was staying with us while he was in town visiting for Christmas.

My plan was to tell everyone via facebook with a photo. So I called up my awesome photographer. I met up with her Saturday morning. She then posted our sneak peek Monday evening(Photo above). :)  

We told Seth's parents Saturday night (if they found out via facebook they would hate us forever). I tried to figure out something new on how to tell them. So I printed out pictures of all of their grandkids and put them in frames, and added the pregnancy test picture to the bunch. :) I always LOVE telling Seth's Mom. It's just too much fun!! :D

We are so incredibly excited!!!! It's so hard to imagine Ella being a big sister and Samantha being a big big sister. :) But we cannot wait!! 

Our first appointment is January 24th. We're hoping to get more information for a due date. We're thinking the beginning of September. Since this is about the same time we found out with Ella too. :) 

I'm feeling okay so far. Few spurts of nausea, and I feel VERY bloated. :/ But that's about it, for now anyway.
