Yesterday was the best day EVER *PICTURES ADDED*

[sparks19]

Woohoo What a wonderful day it was yesterday.

I had my first ultrasound. They think I might be farther along than I thought... but only by a week. We will know for sure on the 19th.

it was SO cool. We didn't get to hear the heartbeat because it was too quiet but the heart rate was 187 beats per minute and we could see it beating on the screen.

The baby was also being VERY active. it was so neat to watch it's little arms move about. They were having a tough time getting a picture that had both the head and legs in it so we got a couple that are head, back and arms. Then right at the last second when theyw ere giving us ONE last look... there it was... head, legs and all. So she snapped the picture.

I will post the ultrasound photo later on when hubby gets it scanned.

After such a wonderful experience we were flying high..... only to come home and find an interesting envelope in the mail.

A notice saying that hubby's ex wife has remarried and he no longer has to pay her another dime. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. That is an extra $600 bucks a month in our pockets.

We are on cloud nine right now and we will definately be going out to celebrate this weekend

But on a sad note

I lost my wedding ring. I have no idea where it might have fallen off. it was a little big because I have lost a few pounds so it must have just slipped right off my finger. I am very sad and feel naked without it. But hubby says we will get a new one this weekend if we can't find my other one.

EDIT:

This is the best picture


And here are two more

I FOUND IT I FOUND IT I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

I called the pregnancy clinic and asked if they perhaps had come across my ring. the receptionist said she would look around and boy did she ever. She even put on some gloves and looked through the garbage from the bathroom and there it was. I must have pulled it off when I was washing and drying my hands because she said it was in a pile of paper towels.

OH I am so happy and relieved that they found it. I was so upset that I had lost it.

So did you find out if you are having a boy or a girl? Or maybe you don't want to know.

How exciting!

it's too early to tell.... but I told them to not even ask me because I dont want to know LOL. If they ask I am afraid I will cave in and not be able to control myself and need to know lol.

Although a friend keeps telling me that if I do find out... not to tell anyone because then they will buy sex specific stuff for the baby and if the second child is of the opposite sex then I will have to start all over again.... If I get just unisex stuff I will be set for future babies lol.

What an amazing experience this was yesterday. The baby was very active, swimming around and such. The heartbeat was very visible.

Also and of course (being a Ice Hockey Goalie...), at one point it looked like the baby made a quick upward motion with it's left hand. Naturally I said "wow, look at that quick glove hand!!!!"

That's so cool, thanks for sharing with us! What a great day, and that she went through everything to find your ring - you owe that lady cookies or something!
