I am pregnant with one healthy baby! I scared my mom today and told her over the phone that I was pregnant with three babies, and she really believed me at first. She was silent for about 10 seconds before I bursted out laughing and told her there was really only one baby. I could tell she was instantly relieved!
Today was my first ultrasound. I was able to see my baby for the first time, and hear the little fluttering heartbeat. The doctor says my baby (aka Chili Pepper) is a perfectly normal size for 9 1/2 weeks. I was thrilled! It made everything seem more real and exciting. All day long I've been going over the same words in my head: "I'm really a mother! I have a real baby in my tummy! My baby is really there! I heard the heartbeat. I saw the figure on the screen. This baby is really mine!"

How fun! It's so exciting to hear the heartbeat for the first time! Will you get another ultrasound later (usually 20 weeks)? Do you want to know the gender? Do I get to throw a baby shower?
You know, a baby shower later--closer to 190 to 200 days from now. ;-)
Becky, I am so happy for you! Be Well!
It was so great seeing you guys today and I am glad I found your blog! CONGRATS on the baby. Brad had mentioned it a couple weeks ago but I didn't know if it was public knowledge yet,so I didn't say anything but I wanted to :)! Yeah, I am so excited for you.
