There are all sorts of milestones in life that seem like you will never reach. You know, like when you're little and you think about going to Junior High, then High School, then college, then getting married and so on and so forth, and it seems so far away and abstract that you pretty much decide to consider them things that happen to everyone else, but never to you. Well...I've gone through school, graduated from college, and even gotten married, so I guess it's time for the next milestone...having a baby! That's right, I'm jumping on the bandwagon, and I couldn't be more excited about it! It seems pretty surreal right now, but after going to my first appointment today and seeing that little blob on the screen with a flickering heartbeat, I'm getting a tad bit more of a reality check. I thought I was 8 weeks 5 days today, but the doctor measured me at 7 weeks 4 days, so as of right now my due date is July 9. However, the little nubin was so small that every time I breathed it got hidden, so he wasn't able to get the most accurate measurement. He said he'd try again next time and the due date might change. I was just so happy to hear that little heartbeat, and to hear that at 160 it was just perfect! So here's to the next big adventure in the life of Ashley & Brady! We can't wait to welcome our new addition!
