Ok....so we had our ultrasound on Friday....and there is just ONE HEALTHY BABY! The ultrasound tech said that everything looked good....a strong heart beat and measured right on the date. Mattalyn however couldn't believe it was a baby. He let her sit beside me on the table and let her help put the ultrasound gel on....they made a smiley face on my belly. Then as soon as he put the transducer on my tummy there it was....a little sac and a little jelly bean. Mattalyn looks up and says"That doesn't look much like a baby to me." We explained to her that is what babies look like when they start to grow and that she looked like that once too. We were in there for a matter of 2 minutes probably. As soon as I walked out there was Dr. Davis' nurse Sue. She had been waiting for me to come out. I LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER! Kathy had also been watching from the back desk. Everyone wanted to know that it was all ok. That makes you feel so good to know that people who it really doesn't personally affect cares. I know they have been there through all the fertility meds and tests and all and I know it is a relief to finally see some happiness on all 3 of our faces. Mattalyn told Sue she was gonna be a big sister...how sweet. But anyways....we go back on March 10th to let Dr. Davis listen to the heartbeat on the doppler. I will be 10 weeks then. Mattalyn is going too...I'm going to try and get her to every appt. so she feels extremely involved in every aspect of having a baby. And if all goes well....she's gonna be sitting beside Momma's shoulder on the bed when the baby comes out. I know alot of you will disagree...but if I have the same delivery like I did with her...I had an epidural and did no yelling and it was calm as can be...I plan on her being there. She knows it has to come out....so she will be there....not visualizing "down there". She'll be up by my shoulders and will know the moment we know what the baby is. She's as stoked as Matt and I. I'll update soon.... Oh yeah... and to better inform Mattalyn of the baby growing we have gotten an acct on babycenter.com and we can see what the baby looks like every week in the womb so she can see that the baby does grow and they compare the size to every day items....this week it's the size of a kidney bean. That has sooo helped!
Well...that's enough for now. Talk to you guys later! Keep us on your prayer lists....it's still soooo early!

I think it's a great idea having her so involved. She seems like such a smart little girl and I think this will be good for her! She will feel all the more important to her little brother/sister because she was there for every step...and she may be able to remember this all her life! Update whenever you can! I look forward to knowing more!
