Updates!

So...since we were keeping everything kind of "hush" to begin with, I thought it would be good to update you on our previous doctor visit, etc!

We picked a great doctor here in Greensboro at Wendover OB/Gyn thanks to a suggestion from a knowledgeable nurse/friend. His name is Dr. Taavon, and from what I can tell/what I have heard he is the best there is.

Our first OB appointment was September 3rd during my 9th week. And...we got to hear the heartbeat! I was so very nervous about this appointment, but the nurses and other staff at the office really put me at ease. They pulled out the Doppler first thing so we could hear our little one. It took them forever to find the heartbeat, and I was getting really worried. Turns out the little booger was just being shy and the Doppler had a ton of static (not helping!)...and they finally found it! 160 and going strong!

Everything else went great at the appointment and just like normal. We go back on October 7th for a regular OB checkup, and then the first week in November we will find out if it is a boy or a girl! We can't wait!

As we are coming up on the end of the first trimester, please keep us in your prayers that everything will continue to go smoothly.

Oh...and keep Nick in your prayers today. He severely sprained his ankle about 3 weeks ago at work and has been in a walking boot. His workers comp claim was denied, so he has been out of work for the last week because he "can't do his job 100%" and he is going stir crazy from being at home! If the doctor releases him today, he can go back to work! :)
