9 weeks

I visited the doctor for the first time on June 21. You were 9 weeks then. I saw you for the first time! You were SOOOO tiny!! Take a look:

It was so exciting to see you, and your little heart beating (that is MY favorite part). And while the doctor was scanning, you were moving around! She said, "Oh my gosh, you have to see this".. moved the screen toward me and you were moving your little teeny tiny arms! It was incredible.

I scanned this picture right away and sent it to your dad so he could see you too. We are excited to watch you grow. And we already love you!

Just for fun I thought I would add some pictures of what I look like while you grow in my tummy. You were 7 weeks in this picture:


You really can't see much yet. You are still really tiny right now (which keeps me tiny!)

the beginning of you!

On the morning of Friday, May 14th, your dad called me from Afghanistan (for about only the 2nd time since he'd been there) and told me to take a pregnancy test on the phone with him. So i did, and this is what I saw (almost immediately):

Sorry the test is pink! We didn't know yet that you were going to be a boy, or else I would have gotten a blue one! So there it was staring me in the face. Pregnant! We were both in disbelief (we might tell you the story of why when you're a little older, but then again, you probably won't want to hear it).

Congratulations Isaac! And welcome to the world (or the womb, the world as you know it for now :)
