We're expecting a baby!

I'm starting this blog because my husband and I are going to have a baby in about seven months! I'm going to use this blog to share some photos of the baby as the pregnancy goes along, and I'm going to talk about the pregnancy milestones as they come!

My husband and I found out a month ago that I was pregnant. We were (and still are) really excited because we both really want children. My pregnancy is considered "high-risk" since I have lupus and some other medical conditions, but my doctors are going to keep a very close eye on me throughout the pregnancy. I am going to have a doctor's appointment almost every week...not with the same doctor every time, but with my different specialists. I've had morning sickness over the past two or three weeks, but it's improved significantly this week...probably because the hormone levels are leveling off and because I've actually been eating three or four times a day! I was really bad about not eating much since I felt nauseous most of the time, but now I've been forcing myself to eat throughout the day.

Right now, I am 9-10 weeks pregnant. The baby's expected due date is June 5, 2011! I had my first ob/gyn appointment on Tuesday, and I was able to see the baby and see his/her heartbeat for the first time! Here are a couple of photos of him or her:
 (The ultrasound photos don't have the correct date, time, or expected due date.)

My next ob/gyn appointment is in three weeks, so I plan to publish another post in at least three weeks and will probably have some new photos to share! Thanks for reading!
