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.

Keep looking and checking in for more information!

Great...so glad to hear it all went well. That first appointment is so neat and seeing the little one for the first time makes it all so real. We had weekly ultrasounds for the first 12 weeks so if you want you can check our archives (Jan '06) and see how much they grow and change in just one week. Pretty incredible! One week they looked like rice...the next week they had arm and leg buds and were moving (9 weeks)! Here are some of the good website you asked for:

One more (ok...TWO!!!)...
www.babystyle.com has cute maternity and baby clothes. You can also start a registry for maternity clothes (Julie and I both did this...great for people to buy you Christmas presents!). Shipping is kind of pricey for just one item but each additional item is only $.50. And if you type in TRYAGAIN as a promotion it will take 10% off your order!

and

www.poshtots.com has cute EVERYTHING. Diaper bags, bedding, etc.

The end...can you tell I'm excited!?!?!
