First Time for Everything

So my older sister suggested that I start a blog to put into words my journey through this pregnancy. This is my first time blogging. I found out I was pregnant in January. I was at work one day talking about this and that to my co-worker Raeanna and she said "Are you pregnant?". I turned to her and said "No I am on birth control". Well a blood test later my B-hcg came back over 97,000 when it is supposed to be <1. I was completely suprised and confused. I returned home that night and tearfully told Chris that I was pregnant. Chris looked at me and said "It will be alright". My fear melted and was soothed by his words. After having a sonogram it revealed that I was close to 9 weeks. In November I took antibiotics and from that a new life began. Having suffered 2 miscarriages at 3 months of pregnancy the next month was nerve racking. I felt like I was waiting for the inevitable but hoping for a miracle. Luckily I didn't suffer any morning sickness just a lot of congestion that made me... you know.

Here is a 3D sonogram of baby at 10 weeks.

Here is baby at 13 weeks. I felt baby move for the first time at 15 weeks which felt like a butterfly flapping its wings on my tummy. Awesome!

As you can see we are going to have the first boy in this family. I feel anxious about this because we mostly have girls and I don't know much about boys.

Say hello baby.
So I am 21 weeks now and looking to deliver in August. Lately my ankles, which I now call cankles, have been 5 times the size they normally are and I have heartburn so bad it wakes me up at night. I could swear sometimes that I could open my mouth and fire would shoot out.
I have 2 doctors appointments on Friday, one for a wellness check and the other a sonogram to see if there are any abnormalities in the babies anatomy. Keep your fingers crossed and say a pray for us.
