No longer theoretical

Okay so I (Gary) had to post an update after Angela's first doctors appointment today. It was such a neat experience for both of us. Up until now I kind of felt like we were only theoretically pregnant. Even though three pregnancy tests had told me that we were going to have a child it did not seem real since Angela is not showing yet or anything. Today we had our first appointment with Angela's OBGYN (we really like him by the way). During the exam the doctor let us listen to see if there is a heart beat yet. Angela is about 10 weeks along and he said that is when you typically can start to hear the heart beat. It was so cool when he found it. It was so cute to hear this little heart racing along. That was the first time it really seemed real to me that we are going to have a child come into our family. The heart beat sounded like this.

Later in the exam he did an ultrasound to verify how far along Angela is. That was not scheduled, but he had time so we were able to actually see the baby in there kicking around. It was so funny because the baby was so active. I did not realize how active it would be already at this stage in it's development. It was kicking his/her legs around and throwing it's arms around. It even whacked it's head a couple times. We hope that is not a bad sign ;) I was surprised how clear the ultrasound was to me. When I have seen ultrasound pictures on the internet of babies at this stage it always seemed hard to tell what was what. But when you can actually see it in motion it all seems much clearer. Needless to say today was a good day for both Ang and myself.
Here is a grainy picture of the next Tenney to come into the world.



The baby is upside-down. It's head is as big as it's body. You can see both arms and the legs are tucked below.

It looks like Angela's official due date will be around August 18. The day after my birthday!

Good News

So we really need to post some pictures from our trip to Israel with Gary's family. And we promise to do that soon. But in the meantime...
We're pregnant!
And we are so excited! I'm due in August (I find out the exact date next week hopefully). August is a pretty busy month since that's when both our b-days are and our anniversary. So maybe we'll hit one of those days.
As for me I am perplexed as to why its called "morning sickness" because I am usually sickest at night! I guess everyone is different. Anyways if you have any advice for us let us know! :)
