The Best Birthday Present Ever

I got my best birthday present a little early. Yesterday we got to take a look at what I've been cooking up for the last couple of months. Yes, it's official- I'm prego! We went to our first prenatal appointment yesterday and it looks like everything is on track. It was quite the gift for Nate and I to see this little, tiny heart fluttering away. The baby was pretty funny, wiggling around and "waving at us," as the doctor said. We are as happy as can be and so excited for this tiny little being:

Our due date is September 7th and, although I know we have a long way to go, I can't wait! Nate and I have always said we wouldn't find out the sex of the baby, but we will see in the coming months if we stick to our guns. Nate is already wavering a little, I think. In the meantime I guess the baby will just be "it", "baby", "the bean", or any other names we come up with :)

Update - Since showing my mom this blog, she said that it looks like a little peanut. I definitely think "peanut" can be added to the list of nicknames :)
