First Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound today. It was unscheduled, but after a little scare, our doctor ordered one. During the ultrasound, we got to hear the heart beat, 125 beats per minute. Hearing the heart beat was the most amazing thing every. The baby looked like a jellybean. We did not get any pictures from this ultrasound, so we will have to get some from the next one. During the ultrasound, the tech measured the gestational sack and from their calculations, the due date is May 10, 2009, the day after I graduate from nursing school!

Telling our families the big news

Andy and I decided to call our sisters first, so while I was on the phone with my sister, he was calling his. I told my sister that I had taken a test that morning.......and it was positive. She was so excited. She was screaming and jumping up and down with my niece Hailey. As Andy was telling Haley, I could hear her screaming! Next I called my parents and told them they were going to be grandparents again, they too were very excited. My mom informed me that she loves being a grandma. Next we had to decide how to tell Andy's dad and Jenny. They were over at some friends house for the Husker game and we weren't quite ready to tell a lot of people, so we had to come up with another way. We went over to their house when they weren't home and took paper and wrote out Grandpa Mason with each letter on a separate piece of paper and wrote it was a game, they had to find all the letters to figure out the clue. So a few hours later we got a call from them. They were trying to figure it out. We finally had to tell them that there were two words and the first word started with a G. After about 5-10 minutes, they figured it out. They were both very excited.

We are pregnant

Early this morning, 6:30 to be exact, I was awaken by the call of mother nature to use the bathroom. I got up, went to the bathroom and decided to take a pregnancy test because I knew by tomorrow I would be "late". So I took the test and to my surprise, it was positive. Being very excited I ran into the bedroom, woke up Andy and told him to turn on the light. He was taking too long so I turned it on for him and handed him the test stick. He looked at it half awake and said what is this. I told him to put on his glasses and look again. He did and realized what it was. He looked at me and said is this real? I said yes! We were so excited, I couldn't fall back asleep. I could not wait to share our news.
