My Baby's Birthday!
Went in for my weekly appointment at 36w.....I was told that my blood pressure had shot up after being perfect for 8.5 months and soooooo I was diagnosed with preeclampsia. To make sure of this I was sent to L&D for 24 hour urine and well SHE IS HERE!!! She was born early and I am sore as hell but little Symphonie Rose Howarth was delivered the afternoon of the test results via c-section. 5lb, 18 in long and so beautiful!!!

Husband/Partner Felt Baby Move for the First Time
we were laying in bed watching a really crappy movie and my hubby had his hand on my belly. I started laughing and he asked what was funny. I said, I cant believe you cant feel that, because our little girl was moving around A LOT! lol He focused more on my belly and just smiled and was like YEAH! lol it was so funny and cute ^^

Heard Baby's Heartbeat for the First Time
It was amazing, was really worried she would not be able to find the baby again like at my 10w appointment, but she found it immediately without even looking. It was so amazing.

Announced Pregnancy to Family
Christmas eve is when my family celebrates christmas so we decided to go for the shock value. We got a present for my MIL and put it in a shinny box and then wrapped it. Inside was the first US picture we got of the baby and the heart beat at 6ws as well as a t-shirt I designed that said grandma to be again. I never saw a room full of family go so silent so fast! In the end everyone was really happy and congratulated us, but the facial expressions were priceless! lol

Saw baby and heart beat for the first time!!
I was so worried because we did not see anything on the first visit. I would either go in there and get bad news or I would be 5 or 6 weeks along. No idea why I was so scared of getting bad news!!! It was so amazing, my hubby missed the first appointment but when we went in there and we saw our baby on the screen his face lit up with the greatest smile ever!!! Took all I had not to cry when the ultrasound tech said "well there is little baby and there is the heartbeat! looks like 124 bpm!" I was just so beyond happy, still in shock that this is real.I now know that I am 6w 1d pregnant!! ^^

First Prenatal Appointment
Had my first visit with my OBGYN, mainly just the confirmation visit. Based on my LMP we thought I should be 5 weeks, but I was not because we did not see anything on the ultrasound, next appointment is in 2 weeks on the 5th of December! So excited to see my little one!

Told Husband/Partner
Shocked my hubby by telling him after he came home from work. I was so nervous to finally tell him when leading up to it I told him everything calmly because we were trying, I was diagnosed with PCOS, the smile on his face lit up and it was amazing.

First Positive Pregnancy Test
I was not expecting anything really, I was so upset and thought that we did not have any luck. I first used a dip stick test and it was so faint that I did not believe what I was seeing. I put it down and walked out, shocked, then walked back in and just did that a few times looking at it before I went to my sister and asked her if she saw anything. Got a few more test to take and i am still in shock and so excited!!!! First U.S. is on Nov. 21st!!
