A New Picture

This picture was taken last night. I am nine weeks along and the baby is growing and doing good. The heartbeat was 184 bpm. Rachel took me to the Hospital because i was having some concern about the baby. The doctors did tests and this ultrasound was taken. There is always concern during the first trimester and i just wanted to yield on the side of caution. Keep the baby in your thoughts and prayers. We are both doing great. Enjoy the new picture.

Thank you to all our family and friends for the adorable baby cards. The cards were about becoming parents, adding to our family and the wonderful life we will have with the new baby. We also got the softest and sweetest baby blanket from Nanny and Papa along with the tiny baby booties. I just want to play with them all the time because they are so small and cute.

The little brown shoes were for Les when i first saw him after we found out about the baby. They look just like shoes that Les wears now. Maybe one day our baby can wear them too.

The bright colored white bubble "I Love Mommy" is from the Guinn's. It is our first baby outfit and i love it so much. Thank you to the Guinns.

Amanda and Tanner Griffin sent us the sweetest card and the baby rattles. That was so thoughtful of you guys.

Its so neat how we are already accumulating so many little baby things. Thank you for all the gifts and cards. We love you all!

Our First Picture!

This is our first official picture of the new addition to our family. I was 7 weeks and 5 days along with this was taken. You can see the body and the head but the arms and legs are still not fully developed enough to show on the ultrasound. The baby's heartbeat was 134 bpm. The baby is about the size of a grape from head to feet. Our little "gummy bear" is doing well and we will visit Dr. Theis again on Nov. 14.

Our First Appointment!

We had our first offical appointment with my doctor, Dr. Theis. He wanted to see me when i was at least 7 weeks. The appointment went very smoothly and quickly. He checked all my levels and ran some tests. Everything came back perfect. Les was not able to come to my first appointment because he was in New York City. So, my mom came down to go with me. It was great having her there to help with questions and see the first pictures of her grandbaby and our baby!

Dr. Theis did an ultrasound and we were able to see the little "gummy bear!" That is what Dr. Theis is calling the baby since it does resemble a gummy bear. We could see its little heart beating, its head, and body. I am estatic. It made the whole experience seem real. I just wish Les could have been there too. Dr. Theis took pictures of the baby and burned them onto a CD. Les will be home on Sunday. I am going to show him the CD of the baby and then we will post all the pictures for you to see. The new little Lawless Baby. We are so excited! He said the baby will be due on May 30, give or take a few days.
