Finally ... Pregnant Pics!!

Here it is ... my pregnant belly at 9 1/2 weeks! I told you it was big already! :) So what do you think ... boy or girl?!

Baby Names

So we have officially decided on names ... we pretty much have been tossing these names around for a LONG time ... but here they are:

For a girl: PEYTON ELIZABETH LEE VEENSTRA
** Elizabeth is after Chris' grandma & Lee is after my Nana **

For a boy: JACKSON WILLIAM ROBERT VEENSTRA
** William is after Chris (it's his middle name) and his grandpa & Robert is after my papa and my brother (it's his middle name) **

So if it is the case that we are having twins, and they aren't a boy & a girl ... we have some other names on the back burner, but those aren't fully decided ... we will let you know if & when we find out twins or no twins and the sex of the baby(s) Let us know what you think!! :)

Baby Bump ... one or two?!?! :)

I'm sorry to everyone that has been waiting for pictures ... I am really hoping to post some tonight!! :) As soon as Chris gets home from work I will try! But anyways ... to all of you that haven't seen me lately ... my tummy is HUGE!! I look like I am 5 months pregnant! So we are thinking that it may be twins! Chris, myself, my mom, and many others have a slight suspicion that it could be! Twins run in both sides of our family and there is a chance that we may have them ... so we will see! Of course I will keep you posted on anything and everything that I know!

First Dr. Appt :)

So today was my first doctors appt. and it is offical WE ARE PREGNANT!! I know I took 4 tests, but to hear it come out of the doctors' mouth made it feel real :) I am SIX weeks pregnant, and everything is looking good so far! The offical due date is Jan. 29 2008! I have my 12 week check up on July 19th and that is when we can hear the heartbeat and really get started with all the appointments! Chris is going to come to this appt. so that will be really nice! We also found out that at the beginning of September have an appt. in Langley to do our ultrasound and find out the sex of the baby! This appointment could be in the middle of August but we made it for the beginning of September so that Chris will be home from up North to come with me!! :) That is about it!! I will be posting a picture soon of me at 6 weeks!

We're Pregnant!!

So after TWO (well 4 if you count the ones that I put in the holder wrong) positive pregnancy tests ... it is offical ... we're pregnant!! :) So here is the story of how we found out! I took the first (EPT) test. It had one faint line and one dark line (2 lines means your pregnant!) I, right away, thought that meant negative and then somewhere on the package had read that it meant positive. I still was unsure so decided to take one of the other ones ... ended up that I put it in the holder wrong ... this one was digital. Well everytime you put it in the holder wrong you have to wait 30 minutes for it to reset. I did this twice!! They both had 2 lines on them but for all I knew this could have meant negative. I put the next one in the holder and this time I knew that I had done it right. I walked away to let it do its thing and actually forgot about it for a few minutes when the phone rang and I was doing something else. I honestly thought it was going to come up negative so I wasn't too rushed about looking at it again! I walked back to the bathroom and looked down ... there was a huge PLUS sign!! I was PREGNANT ... I pulled out the EPT test I did earlier and both lines had darkened and it was definitly POSITIVE as well! I called Chris right away and said "You're going to be a Dad!!!" he was really excited and you could tell he couldn't wait to get home!! So that is the story of how we found out we were pregnant!! :) I have my first doctors appointment on Monday June 4th so I will update after then!! :)
