What a Beautiful Little Flicker!

We continue down an exciting track! This past week our ultrasound showed a consistant little flicker on the screen that is our baby's heartbeat! Henry was there, and while tired, was excited to see the baby.

This past weekend we were able to share some time with my parents, who came to visit. It was nice to visit with them. Koda & Jack were glad to see their "grandparents" and enjoyed playing games with my parents. My dad sure enjoyed their playful banter.

Henry & my dad were able to go to the yearly motorcycle show at Rosemont. Mom & I went shopping and out to lunch. We went to our favorite restaurant for dinner, and everyone had a good time. We had a nice end to the night with a birthday cake for Henry and a nice fire. I always wish we had longer visits, but for now, I'll take what I can get!

As for the pregnancy, I continue to find the first trimester difficult with lots of "all-day sickness" (since mine can't seem to just be in the morning). I'm just trying to look forward to the months to come, with great hope for an end to the morning sickness soon. I will keep the morning sickness because I know that I'm going to have a great reward in the end! Tomorrow marks Week 7.

We look forward to next week's doctor's appointment, and another ultrasound.

Below are the pictures from the Week 6 Ultrasound.

We saw so much growth from Week 5 to Week 6 and hope to see just as much from Week 6 to Week 8.

We're also anxiously awaiting the birth of our niece or nephew! We're praying for a happy, healthy baby for Chad & Gabrielle, and a wonderful birth, too. I just know that Gabbi will make a wonderful Mom, and I can't wait to see her in action! We're hopeful that these cousins can spend plenty of time together as they grow up!

It's time to close this post, but we'll see you soon!
