On Thursday we went for our first OB visit and we also had our ultrasound. It was an amazing experience to see our baby is really in there and the little heart was beating SO fast! However, the heart was the biggest part of the baby. My doctor is originally from Hawaii and then she wanted a change, so she moved to Iowa, went to Drake University for her undergrad. After that, she went to the University of Iowa to get her masters and doctorate. It's almost like it was meant to be! :) She said that our baby is so healthy and everything is going great. During the ultrasound, they measured our baby and based on the development, the baby was only 6 weeks and 5 days instead of 7 weeks 4 days. Our new due date is November 21. Our next OB appointment is in four weeks. The next ultrasound is in six weeks when our baby will be 12 weeks along. I keep having dreams about our baby. I usually only have them on the weekends. Last weekend I actually had a dream that I was giving birth to our baby. I had been given some anesthesia and was half asleep half awake. All of a sudden it was just coming out and I was pushing and she came right out. We had a girl and she was so precious. I then had a dream after that dream that we had twin baby girls.

Last night, I had a dream that I gave birth the a baby girl and then we went on vacation the next day to Dinsey World with my entire family and Nick's entire family. I kept getting pulled away from my baby and everyone else had her for most of the day. I was supposed to be nursing her and I kept getting so scared. I finally got her back and she looked so pale and I freaked out. So I grabbed her, we went home, and I was trying to nurse her, but I was so tired and I couldn't stay awake and the baby kept falling asleep too but she needed to eat. I was so scared that I was going to loose her. Then I woke up.

I have dreams that I am having a girl, but anytime I talk about the baby, I refer to it as a boy.

Well, I am anxious to find out what we're going to have and I know Nick is too. That will have to wait until around 20 weeks. :) Until next time...
