Honeymoon to Gerber Baby

A little over 2 inches--

Notice our Gerber baby is flipped over in this picture compared to the next! Our Little Peanut waving at Mommy and Daddy

Yesterday was Andrew's 26th birthday. A year ago we came home from our honeymoon and this year, we spent it at Doctors appointments for our little peanut! We heard the heartbeat for the first time which at our first appointment was between 160-170 bpm. Dr. Hendrichs warned us that it would take a while to find the heartbeat and not to worry (not worry?! are you kidding me!) but as soon as she put the doppler down we heard it! I guess Gerber Baby didn't want to put Mommy under that much stress yet! It was the most amazing moment of my life! The constant vomiting and nausea all seemed worth it in that moment! During the ultrasound the heartbeat was 154 bpm and is measuring a little over 2 inches. Little Gerbs was flipping around like a little monkey. He/she would pull his/her legs up and shoot them down like a frog, and was throwing his/her arms all around! It looked like Baby Gerbs was waving numerous times! The Sono Tech made continuous comments about how active he/she is! I guess it's a good clue as to what we are getting ourselves into! We were definitely excited about a baby before, but the appointments finally made the pregnancy real, and now, words can't even describe our excitement!
Rochelle and Ryan came over later to spend the evening with us for Andrew's birthday! Although the majority of the day was for the baby, Andrew wouldn't have traded it for the world! After all, it isn't about us anymore! :)
