And baby makes 3!

Well, it's official! We are going to have a baby! We've known about it for a little while, but didn't want to say anything until we had our first ultrasound and got confirmation that everything was going well. That was on Thursday (unfortunately New Brunswick doesn't provide pictures... cheap province that it is...) and it was pretty unbelievable. We are only 9 weeks, and so there wasn't a whole lot to see. A little peanut really, 2 cm long, but the technician was able to show us the little tiny heart beating 160 beats per minute. Apparently this is well within the normal range, and everything is going along swimmingly.
I'm feeling okay, although unbelievably tired. The whole 'morning sickness' thing is a bit of false advertising too, as far as I'm concerned. It's more of an 'all day sickness', which becomes a particular pain at about 8:30 pm. But I can't complain. I just keep munching on rice cakes and crackers, and I do alright.
They told us that our due date is January 18th. It's still kind of surreal, but we are both getting pretty excited about it. Our parents are over the moon- my mom already bought a bunch of baby things. It will be so great that we will be back in Ottawa for the months leading up to and then the actual arrival of the baby.
I'm sure that we will have many updates as the weeks go by, so stay tuned!
