The first ultrasound!


We heard the baby! It was so cool! It was really hard at first to go back to the hospital because the last time we were there was devastating. But this experience was so different. The ultrasound technician quickly found the gestational sac then continued to point out, what to me looks like a uvula, and explained it was the embryo! I know it doesn't look like much but that little piece of white in the middle of the dark is our baby!
Then she showed us the heart on the outside of the embryo and told me to hold my breath & we could hear the swishing of our baby’s heart. Thats the picture on the right. The lines at the bottom are the baby's heart beats.
It was so emotional, and yes I cried, but I am happier then I can even say. Our baby is 3 mm long, healthy, and right on track to be born on Jan 8, 2009. Thank you everyone for all your support!

It is done...

It has finally happened... I've finally given and jumped on the blogging bandwagon.

Most of the people who are taking time out of their busy lives to visit our blog and read about our super interesting lives have probably heard our news (which is the real reason behind this blog) and that is, WE ARE PREGNANT!!!

Some of you are probably chuckling over the title of the blog at this point, if the light bulb still hasn't clicked on think hard now... Have a Knapp.... get it?

Over the coming months and years Emily and I will strive to regularly (or irregularly, we'll see) update this marvel of mass communication with all sorts of spiffy pictures and witty rhetoric about our now growing family.
