Houston, we have a baby

2 days ago I saw the most unbelievable thing - I saw my baby for the first time. Okay, it looks like a cashew so it's not quite a baby yet, but it had a heartbeat. A real live heart beat that looked like the fluttering of some sort of insect wing. It's 8.5 weeks old - just amazing. My husband could not quit smiling. Okay, so the baby took us both by surprise - we weren't trying - but we are both 26, have good jobs, wanted to have children, and have been married for 16 months. It did not take us too long to get used to the idea.

People ask me constantly how I feel - I feel fine. Most of the time. I can get some pretty bad nausea and I am quite sure the baby is sucking the life out of me and thus making me one tired momma-to-be. Other than that, things are well. My husband started a blog weeks ago unknown to me - so I guess this blog is just my side of things. You can check out his blog to see daddy's side at http://babyonyoursix.blogspot.com
