Ronnie here; I saw a rear double bi-cep and a large johnson at 6 weeks so I know that's my boy. 

Sick ALL over the city!

While we anxiously awaited our appointment this week trying to keep ourselves busy with work, we experienced some morning sickness....all over the city! The nausea tended to present itself mostly at work.... the courthouse, city hall, mediation, etc...... Ronnie just rubs my belly and and offers his support, quietly sneaking snacks as not to make me sick by the sight of food. 

We had our 6 week, 4 day appointment, today. We got to know our new doctor who is absolutely wonderful and seemed to agree with the birthing plan that we have in mind. This is someone that will be present with us through our appointments, ultrasounds and ultimately, the delivery. We feel so lucky to have found someone so wonderful to help us through our pregnancy. During the ultrasound, we actually saw the heartbeat! Wow, what an incredible sight. Ronnie's mouth was wide open as he intently examined the viewing screen. The appointment ended with us both getting our H1N1 vaccines. We lucked out on that one as nobody else in the city seems to be offering it at the moment. Can't wait to give our next update. 

Love,

Ronnie & Sheri

Debuting June 2010

We are still catching people up on our news so one new photo we would like to share is our first ultrasound photo. It was taken at 5 weeks and 4 days so there is not much to see, though we think it is beautiful! I was in awe of the technology and thrilled to see the embryo, however, Ronnie went in believing he was going to see a full term baby. He was disappointed that he couldn't make out the shape but I know it will become more real once he sees the heartbeat. This is such a surreal experience and I find myself looking at Ronnie's face in the doctors office, thinking of how lucky I am to have this wonderful man by my side and how much our child will look like him....I have always adored his sweet little nose.

It's official. The first step towards parenthood!

Though this is only our first day of blogging, we have so much to catch people up on. On the morning of Thursday, October 15, we experienced a truly blessed moment in our lives. I took a pregnancy test and to our absolute delight, it was positive. I came out of the master bathroom crying and just stared at Ronnie. Within moments, he had me pegged. He asked, already knowing the answer, "you are pregnant, aren't you?" We laughed, I cried and we went about the rest of our day in complete shock, not willing to wrap our brains around the news we had just learned of. Could it be true? Are we really going to become a party of 3 in a matter of months? Wow....two blessings in 1 year; I married the man of my dreams in July and now to have a child who is a product of our love. I don't think that any one person could ask for anything more, though finishing law school in the midst of all of this is extremely fulfilling.

Our First Post.

Well, we are quite new to the "blog" process, however, we are going to give it our best shot. We are creating this in an effort to keep all family members in the loop, especially, our sweet brother, David, who won't be with us throughout this time as he is in Paris for graduate school. We miss him so dearly and hope that these updates and photos will make him feel close to home and know how much he is loved. 

This is such a busy and exciting time in our lives though because our family is spread out all over the country, this will be a great medium to share all of our news. Can't wait to get started!
