Baby's First Picture

I remember when I was pregnant with Conrad and getting my first ultrasound. I wasn't ready for this new step in life and was having a rough time. I remember taking one look at the baby on the screen and I fell in love. That one little picture made me feel so much better. I knew I had no idea how to be a mom and take care of a baby, but I knew I loved that baby.

Today we went for my first visit to the doctor. I made sure Ransom could be there because I knew they would do an ultrasound. I had fears of them telling me that there was no baby or that there were 2 (Ransom kept telling me we were having twins - scared me to death!). I was so happy to see that 1 little tiny baby on the screen. I love this baby too. There is something so special about being able to see the tiny baby growing inside of you. I have many fears of being the mother of 2, but I have my little picture to look at to put a smile on my face whenever I need it.

I am officially due Sept. 6, Labor Day. My doctor told me that was a very fitting day to have a baby. I am starting to show a lot sooner than I would like or as my mom tells me, "Wow you really are getting thick". In 10 more weeks we get to find out if we are having a boy or girl! I can't wait so I can start buying fabric for all the projects I want to make and will hopefully finish a few of them! -Katie

Ok it's my turn to write about today. I was really excited to see our new little one so I took a half day and went with Katie to the doctor. I pretty much just chased Conrad around for an hour and then the ultrasound lady wanted to do the world's shortest ultrasound! But it was awesome to see that tiny little person and it's perfectly healthy. I was very happy and I am proud of Katie. -Rans
