Today I am 12 weeks, 6 days pregnant. We had our 1st Screening this morning at Texas Perinatal. I was so anxious, excited, and nervous for this appointment. I knew that if the baby was growing correctly, it would look like a real baby and not just a blob. I knew this ultrasound would put my mind to ease if everything looked good. I hate that I let doubt creep into my mind, but after 2 1/2 years of trying and then doing all kinds of fertility treatments, it's just so hard for me to believe that I actually got pregnant on my own! I now believe because everything looked great! The baby was moving all around. It was at this point that I just relaxed and enjoyed seeing the baby on the monitor. Then the doctor came in to get the measurement behind the neck. He said all measurements are within the normal range and that the baby's growth looks perfect. I just have to wait for the blood test results to come in next week so that we can rule out the major birth defects. I really have no doubt that everything will be fine. After the appointment, I went out to lunch with my friends and then got a baby name book! Here are the pics!

Oh, I also made the big announcement on Facebook today...before I even left the doctor's office. I have loved seeing everyone's responses. It seems that everyone is truly happy for us!
Oh my gosh Carrie! How amazing!! All of your waiting paid off and your sweet baby is on the way! I'm not surprised at all that you were able to get pregnant on your own! Sometimes it just happens! I can't wait to watch your belly grow and talk all about baby stuff this year! What a wonderful miracle! We are so excited for you. TJ even called me this morning and said, "Did you see Carrie's facebook post?" We are so excited for you both!
