the heart beat

So I guess this is our formal announcement - I'm pregnant! Yesterday Ryan and I went to the doctor's and heard the heartbeat for the first time. It was super loud, really strong, easy-to-find, and seems to be healthy! We've already had one ultrasound to determine the size of the baby, and it's fun to see pictures. The big ultrasound where they can determine more things (eg: boy or girl) will happen on November 20th. Right before Thanksgiving! So come April 4th, 2008, the Christensens will become a party of three! Let the celebrations begin! :)

Congratulations you guys! How exciting. So my question is... when Trent made himself look like an idiot and asked you if you were pregnant, you actually were?! That is awesome! I hope you haven't been sick, that is the worst!

Tiffany told us too! She said, "Did you know the Christensen's are pregnant? And their baby is due the same time as yours!" Our baby is due April 6th so the race is on!

Congrats! We're so happy for you guys. That's way exciting. You're going to have a cute little baby even though Ryan's the dad. (just kidding Ryan, I had to slip in a joke somehow). We're happy for you.

Amber said...

Heather, you need to blog about your pregnancy thus far. Morning sickness? Tiredness? Weight gain? Feeling the baby move? I want to hear it all!! Also - tag! You're it. Check out my latest blog for details!

Kim said...

Congrats Christensens!! That is super exciting!!

Tiffany said...

P.S. I thought about sharing this news during good news minute then decided not to... it's pretty fun to spread this news around. You should just come back and share it yourself though.
