10 week Appointment

We visited our OB for our 10 week appointment today. No pictures to share but plenty of good news! We had a Doppler first thing today to finally really hear the heart beat for the first time. We were able to see the heart beat at our 6 week ultrasound and were able to hear a very faint noise but this was the first time we would hear the real deal!

The doctor was able to find the heart beat right away. We were so relieved and excited to hear the loud and strong 167 bpm heart rate! The doctor said it sounded fantastic and "impressive!" Everything else seems to be going great as well, so we are breathing a little easier now. Carolyn's daily nausea seems to slowly be subsiding a little more each day. Both of us are VERY thankful for that. Carolyn's tired of feeling terrible and Sean's tired of Carolyn's complaining :-). Next appointment isn't until 15 weeks so, unfortunately, we won't have much more news to share for a while, except maybe a belly picture here or there.

In other news, we had a fantastic time at Virginia Tech this past weekend with both of our families and a huge THANK YOU to Mike and Kelsey for their wonderful hospitality, it made the trip very memorable. Our first real VT experience surpassed all expectations. We are starting to make big plans for the move to Virginia! Soon!! The home search is fully underway in the Reston area and Carolyn has started her job search in the area as well. Many exciting things are coming our way and we feel more and more blessed each day!
