Pregnancy Log - May and June

May 2005
9 : First felt baby move! As unlikely as it seemed, this was the first sign I had of being pregnant, but I knew that's what it was.
10: I anxiously took a pregnancy test, and it confirmed what I felt.
13: On this day, I had my first prenatal doctor's appointment. I was measured as being 20 weeks along. Feeling this was finally "real", I started my pregnancy journal.
16: A bedside sonogram a few days later dated me at 24 weeks! I couldn't have been more surpised...
26: Except the formal ultrasound I took gave me the most accurate dating. Measurements of the head and limbs put me at 27 weeks. And the doctor was able to tell the sex of the baby - a boy! The due date of August 23rd was set, and it seemed almost too close to believe.

June 2005
We started making many preparations this month. We bought nursury furniture, were given many donations of clothing and other necessities by our friends E and J, set up our baby registry and planned a baby shower. I also continued reading many books about pregnancy, prenatal parenting and baby safety. We also started weekly childbirthing classes (which you can read more about), which immediately started helping with the anxiety we were feeling about being new parents.

Future updates will be according to week, since I'm finally catching up!
