Dialing it back

Well, we went to our first doctor's appointment today and everything went really well. We were able to see the baby and hear the heartbeat - amazing!

The good news is that, in the doctor's words, I am as healthy as a horse.

The bad news is that we aren't quite as far along as we thought. We were about 2 weeks off - so instead of being 9 1/2 weeks today we are 7 1/2 weeks!

I guess that isn't really bad news - it is just anti-climactic because we've already progressed to the raspberry/olive stage and now we have to go back and do it all over again.

We will still tell our families at the same time (end of June) but they'll have to keep a lid on it for a few weeks until we are in the relative safety of the second trimester.

The other good news: we only have one baby. No Octomom for us!
