Pregnancy Page! Yes, it finally happened after almost 4 1/2 yrs of marriage and 2 1/2 yrs of infertility treatment....We became pregnant! Follow our pregnancy as is it progressed by reading our Pregnancy Journal (scroll down for table of contents or click link to follow from the beginning). Our babies were due October 16, 1999...so this is current. There are lots of surprises as well as helpful information about what to look for at specific times during pregnancy. Such as: When can you expect to see & hear the heartbeat? Feel the first kicks? What about morning sickness -- will it go away? And, what is a yolk sac? :0) The Ultrasound Scrapbook allows you to view our babies milestones & gives you an idea of what you will see on the screen. And now that the girls have arrived, you can read their Birth Story. They were born more than 7 weeks early. Check out the Preemie Pages to learn more about early arrivals. :0)
