12 weeks since Conception or so they say...
...I should have started this blog awhile ago, and so I take the adege of never to late to start something. A brief history to catch you up to this point.
From our earliest recollections we can trace back the date to conception at or around August 13th, 2005. We went to the city to see the Dave Matthews band in concert along with the Black Eyed Peas. Prior to the concert we had checked into the Embarcadero Hyatt and had a beautiful view of the bay.
We dined at Epetus, a Brazilian bbq all you can eat place which was awesome.
The concert was truely awesome as well and we ended up walking back to the hotel from the concert.
Fast forward 4 weeks or so, and are curious as to why there has yet to be a period.
We then took one pregnancy test, which came out to be negative, still wondering why Shannon was late, we waited a few more days and then took another test. This time according to Shannon the line showed up almost instantaniously, showing us that we were in fact pregnant. I personally was in shock, filled with happiness, and other thoughts of the unknown, we hugged and were very happy with the news.
I then set out to find a Ob/GYN in Tracy, that would be a perfect fit for us. Searching online O came across http://www.sdwashington.md/ and figured we'd try her. Shannon scheduled an appt and was very impressed with the first appointment, she came across as professional and friendly. She also confirmed that we were in fact pregnant and scheduled the first ultrasound.
Our first picture of the baby resembles a little bean, but more importantly Shannon got to see the flutter of the heart beat, which told us that she in fact had something living inside her growing day by day.
We were very excited and happy.
