Labor Day officially marked 13 weeks for me! Jared and I decided to tell family and close friends during that weekend and then announce it to the world that Tuesday after we had our second appointment! We called our Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles first. Everyone was really sweet and acted excited for us! We let our closest friends know before everyone else too. We went out with a group of our best friends that weekend and when Jared announced that we were pregnant, one of our friends announced it too! We are only 2 weeks apart! That means that Jared and his two closest friends (self titled 3J since their names all start with J) all have wives that are pregnant at the same time! Here are a few pictures from that fun night!
On Tuesday the 6th we had our second appointment. It was a quick appointment this time. We did get to hear the heartbeat which is the best sound ever! :-) The nurse who used the doppler seemed like she might have been training and it was so cute because as she was leaving the room she said to the main nurse "I found it really fast that time!" All my bloodwork came back fine. My next appointment will be at 18 weeks where they will do a thorough ultrasound and determine the gender. We will actually be going at the end of September to find out at the gender at an elective ultrasound place but it will be nice to have to confirmation so soon after! :-)
When we got home we decided that it was time to let everyone know on Facebook but as soon as we went to post it the internet went out. Brighthouse had a major internet outage everywhere that day. We decided to head out and have some lunch and then post it later. Here is our official Facebook announcement. We were overwhelmed at everyone's sweet comments and so excited to finally have it out in the open!
