January 5th

Today was my first doctor's appointment! I was pretty excited about it! Everything went well other than Pat and I both have come down with the flu. Thankfully nobody threw up while we were there! But anyways, we had our first ultrasound. I'd post it, but I'm sure you've all seen a million that look exactly the same. Anyways after measuring the little baby, (which was smaller than an inch and Pat was in awe) the doctor moved back the due date. So instead of Dec. 26th we're now looking at January 5th. So the good news is I probably won't be having a baby on Christmas. That makes me very happy for the child. Instead maybe we'll get a New Year's baby. The first thing the doc said when he changed the date was, "I'm sorry about your taxes." "Maybe it will be a good thing to induce you on the 31st or even the 30th."

I had to go to class right after, and when I got home Pat was pretty excited about the whole thing and was looking through all the books the doc gave us! he informed me of all the new things he had learned. He also told me that he knew it was a boy today just by watching the heart beat!
