We planned a dinner out with the entire family (minus Holly and Liam). When we got there, we had a couple of gifts. We gave Shannon a T-shirt that said "I'm going to be a Big Cousin." We also gave my parents a couple of University of Dayton coffee mugs that I had given to my grandparents on my mom's side back when I was in college. One said University of Dayton Grandma and the other said Grandpa. My grandmother recently gave them back to me and I was waiting to give them to my parents once we had a baby on the way. After opening the mugs and reading Shannon's T-shirt, I announced "I'm pregnant". Everyone was so excited and extremely happy......I think we saw some tears shed. Shannon was really excited about having a cousin.....and Terry and Gina will finally be an Uncle and Aunt for the first time.....and of course my parents were thrilled to have another grandchild. I've attached a few pictures from that evening. It was so fun telling everyone and seeing their reactions.

First Ultrasound - Wednesday, October 22, 2008
Today, Mike and I went to the doctor for my first ultrasound. I am 8 weeks and 1 day today. It was so exciting. As soon as we heard the heartbeat, a tear started rolling down my cheek. Mike said he got a little choked up too. The baby's heart beat was beating at 167 beats per minute. We also got to see several views of the baby. It was so wonderful to finally see Little Baby Byrne..........moving around, the heart beating, etc. We couldn't believe it. They gave us 2 pictures of the ultrasound. I haven't stopped looking at them all day.
After the ultrasound, we went to my doctor's office for the results. She confirmed that I'm due June 2, 2009 and said everything looks perfect. The heartbeat is perfect and everything else looks great. Nothing seems to be concerning at all. We were so thrilled about the results and couldn't have received better news. I stayed for some blood tests and a flu shot, then we both headed home with huge smiles on our faces!!
Now it's all about waiting.........my next appointment is November 18th!
