McBaby has gone public and so have the blog entries!

Now that we have officially spread the news, the pregnancy updates on the blog can begin. I am following a fellow blogger's format and filling you in on the past 12.5 weeks!


Week 1-3: Had some feelings in weeks 2-3 that something might be going on in my belly, some people might call me crazy. I knew it wasn't normal.

Dec 28: Wk 3 day 5 drove home from Christmas in Independence and decided to find out once and for all if what I was feeling was true, and guess what 2 lines = pregnant. It took a few pregnancy tests to really believe it, but my feelings were right.

Wk 4-5: Letting it sink it that we were pregnant!

Jan 10: Yaya and Papoo Schroeder came into town and got to see the good news.

Jan 14: Grandma and Grandpa McDaniel came into town and got to see the good news!




Here are the pictures of the good news~!

Wk 6-8: Things are going great here, gearing up for our first appointment on Jan 29.

Jan 29: First appoinment, which included our first ultrasound. We found out we were due very close to what we thought (we thought sept 7), the official date is September 8, 2010. We were 8 weeks 2 days along. The babies heart beat was a strong 170. Below are the first u/s pics.

That night after our ultrasound we shared the good news with Nick and Morgan, Melissa and Britton and we tried to call Angela. We also told Janet and our Grandparents! So Fun!

Wk 10 - Feb 12: 2nd appointment, which included blood testing and hearing the heart beat on the Doppler and it was 164 that day!

Wk 11-12: These weeks come with a breath of fresh air.. I am almost out of the first trimester and I am feeling good!

March 1: Additional testing on the baby which means another ultrasound! Ultrasound looked great and the heartbeat was 159 today. Jeff and I both think it's a girl.. we don't know why, but we do! Below are the u/s pics from today's ultrasound. Look at that cute little head, nose and mouth!! We saw the brain, 2 hands, 2 feet, nose, lips, baby waving, the heartbeat, stomach and bladder! Looked great!

Here is the first picture we took of me at 11 weeks... I need to get another one taken at 13 weeks. I don't think it has changed much, but I feel bigger!
