12 weeks pregnant

Today I had my first ultrasound.  I was looking forward to getting an estimated arrival date so I could start planning for the nursery, baby gear, clothes, and everything else that comes along with a baby.  I was farther along than I expected and our baby will be arriving around October 28, 2011.  Dr. Grossmann did an ultrasound to confirm this date and I made sure Cindy printed out some pictures for Andrew as well as for our family. 
(To Makinley) There are no words to describe how wonderful it was to see you today on the ultrasound.  I trusted that you were there and growing fine but actually seeing you on the screen is a nice visual reminder that you are in my tummy.  I will never forget hearing your heartbeat for the first time.  You made sure to not give me any hints on whether you are a boy or girl because your beats per minute were right in the middle.  You are already being a stinker for me.  I love you baby!
