Meeting Baby

Well! We got to see our little babe on ultrasound today for the first time! That little heartbeat was absolutely amazing! I never knew something so tiny could bring tears to my eyes and fill my heart with love already. We are so blessed with the amount of love and support this baby has already! I am actually a week behind, due to late ovulation. So I am 8 weeks pregnant!

On Saturday, April 28, 2012 I got my first ever positive pregnancy test! Josh and I are finally expecting our first little baby Rust. We could not have been any more excited! Since then, I have had alarming cramps, no nausea, backaches, exhaustion, and no caffeine for 17 days! I feel great, the doctor is happy with the baby's progress so far, and we go for our first visit Thursday, May 17, 2012.
