Aaron and I had very simple plans for this years V-day. It was a work day for Aaron and my day off, so I stayed home cleaned the house and unpacked boxes. I took a pregnancy test in the morning because "aunt flow" was a few days late and we were hoping that we were preggers....well it was negative, so we went about our day as usual. Around 4pm I started getting ready and before I jumped in the shower I decided to take another test (thanks to my friend Stacie convincing me to!!). To my complete shock it came up PREGNANT!! I was SO excited, but it definitely didn't sink in right away, even though we were trying. I had already gotten Aaron a present for Valentines, but decided that it would be cute to decorate a little box and put the test in the box and give it to him after he got home from work. I had to pick Aaron up from work on this day, so on the way home I didn't say anything and we stopped and got some things to cook for dinner. He got home and saw his other present (a new TV) and was very excited and then I handed him the other little box. He unwrapped it looked puzzled for a second and then screamed "WE'RE HAVING A BABY!! ARE YOU SERIOUS??" he picked me up and twirled me around and we both cried! We are so excited! What a wonderful and memorable Valentines Day!
This appointment we got to hear the baby's heart beat and see a more in depth sonogram. They took measurements of the fluid behind the neck to check for Downsyndrome or Trisomy 18 and our measurements can back great! The baby more than tripled in size and it is really looking more like a human baby now! They couldn't tell the sex of the baby yet, but at our next appt on May 2nd we'll know for sure! I also started taking belly pix, as it is sure to start growing here very soon!
