November 9th, 2009- Our First Appointment

This picture is of Lucy surprising her "Nonnie" (Grandma Kim) with the big news. The bag had two baby booties inside with a note attached that read, "I'm going to be a big sister!" After Nonnie unwrapped it and realized that we weren't getting another puppy, but we were having a baby, she was shocked and thrilled.
We waited nearly 6 weeks for our first appointment after finding out about Baby Zurlage. Needlesstosay, we were VERY ready for our check-up! The pregnancy was confirmed and everything checked out perfectly. We heard the heartbeat for the first time- which was the most reassuring, facsinating, and heartwarming sound. It sounded like a quick pitter-pattery, flutter! We found out at this appointment that I was 11 weeks and 3 days- due date May 30th, 2010; which was further along than I thought...another reassuring moment. Our next appointment is on December 8th and can't come soon enough! We are ready to hear that little heart again and hopefully getting closer to seeing this little one during an ultrasound.
