We're Growing a Lima Bean!

7 Weeks

We had our confirmation appointment yesterday afternoon and we are most definitely pregnant!!! We are SOOOOO excited and can't wait to shout it from the rooftops. I am only a few days into my eighth week so we aren't going to run around telling everyone yet. The doctor said that right now I only have a 2% chance of miscarriage, but by ten weeks, I'll be even safer. We sent a surprise package to my mom and dad and hopefully it will arrive today so we can tell them tonight!!! We were relieved to hear that the baby looks great and we were actually able to see it and the heartbeat once the doctor pointed out. We did have a funny moment when Josh remembered the "Friends" episode when Rachel goes for her ultrasound and keeps telling the doctor she can see the baby but then confesses later that she couldn't see it and feels like a bad mom already. LOL Ahhh...there's nothing like relating real life to television! HA HA!

There is a wonderful website that gives references to food based on how far along you are. So far we have had: a poppy seed, a sesame seed, a lentil bean, a blueberry, and now we are having a lima bean! It makes it really fun when Josh asks how the blueberry or bean is doing! We are also referring to the baby as Sam for now. Sam can be a boy name or a girl name. I really like the name Sam, but come on, Sam Smith? We wouldn't do that to our kid. So, we figured this was a good time to use up the name :)
