Peek A Boo

I have been so tired lately. Now I know why they say being pregnant is like the flu. No matter how much sleep I get, I still feel run down. No other symptoms yet so I can't complain too much.
We had our first ultrasound this morning. I am not even four weeks until Thurs. I was nervous but there it was. Tiny but clear as day. They said everything looked great. We will go back next week to see the heartbeat but Tom and I saw a little white dot moving today. Mindblowing really. So we proudly carried our picture home. And probably no one else can see the magic in it but we know.

There really IS something magical in those ultrasounds, and I believe it. Try to get as much rest as you can... It's the best thing for you! Your body is doing some INCREDIBLE stuff right now. (At five months I'm still exausted and wallowing in morning sickness, so try to enjoy every comfortable moment while you've got the chance!) ;)
