We've got ourselves a BABY!!

We had our first appointment today. WOW! What an experience! I was a little nervous going into it. I just wanted everything to be ok. So we get there and the doctor was running 30 minutes LATE!! You've got to be kidding me! But we made it back there and after the dreaded scale we were ready to roll.

We had an ultrasound and it was amazing. The minute I saw the little guy on the screen I started to cry. It's so little, only 1.9 cm! But so amazing. You could see little arm and leg buds and the heart beating. 166 BPM, not bad! My doctor said everything looked GREAT and that the baby is perfectly healthy. I don't have to come back for another 6 weeks which is nice too. Just need to let Baby Goodell grow.

Anyway, we are so excited and very relieved. I now feel like it's real! It's amazing that there's something inside me that's growing and has a beating heart that I can't even feel. So here are the pictures...they are pretty much just blobs :) The head is the blob on the left, the body on the right.

Thanks for all your prayers! We love you all!!

YEA!!!! All of the Peppmullers are so very happy for Amber and Marc. For those who do not know who we are, let me tell you. We have been around Amber since she was a newborn. We took care of her when her Mom needed time alone or had to work. We have all watched her grow and grow into this terrifc person. Now we get to watch her take care or her own bundle of joy. She cheated though, she found a great "helper", Marc, to help her! All the best to you both...just keep us informed on how you are doing....Lots of love coming your way from Mama P....
