We're having a baby!

Kelly and I have been trying to have kids for a while. We had almost given up and decided to buy a boat instead. Everyone says that when you stop really trying that that is when it will happen. Well that was true in our case.

A couple of weeks ago Kelly missed her period. She took a couple of home pregnancy tests and they were all positive. We went to the doctor and they did another home pregnancy test and a blood test both of which were positive.

So here we are in full swing baby mode. We've got a bunch of books, a few baby outfits, some maternity clothes, and started buying diapers every trip to the grocery store. We figured that it was time to start doing some stuff to the house that we'd been putting off because we may not get a chance later; so we got a few things for the house and a new TV.

We were recommended a OB/GYN by a friend and went to see him last week. His name is Dr. George Jackson, he's a older guy and he seems pretty cool. We went to our first appointment with him on Oct 28th. He said Kelly was about six weeks along, which puts the due date at June 22nd. We got to see the heartbeat and he took a picture.

Its a little hard to see, but those few pixels above the arrow are our future. Its about the size of a grape right now. The doctor said it will be about the size of a strawberry by the time we go to our next appointment on Nov 11th.

Kelly has all the typical symptoms for this time of the pregnancy -- moody, runny nose, nausea, peeing a lot, big boobs, tired, etc.

We're really excited... and a little scared. Neither Kelly nor I know anything about babies. I'm an only child and Kelly is the youngest. Neither of us have ever changed a diaper or babysat or really been around kids that much. We've got a little time to get used to the idea and we're planning on finding a parenting class to take.
