Baby Meisenheimer's 1st Photo....and I think the baby already has Fred's head..haha!

Well the day of our first appointment FINALLY arrived and everything checked out wonderful. I must say I don't think I've ever had so much done to my body in one visit in my entire life. I mean its crazy all the things they put you through. We got to hear the heart beat which was just so surreal because it was like a moment of truth that there really truly is a baby in my belly. The baby was already moving all around during the sonogram so I think it is for sure a child of mine because it could not stay in one place. Everything is exactly right on track with is such a relief! The due date is still September 4th and we will go for our next appointment on February 23rd. Dr. Thompson did say she would like me know the sex of the baby before we go to Mexico in April so I'm looking forward to April now so I can finally buy something! It is making me crazy not being able to spend some money on my child because I can't settle for buying something unisex. Baby bean did receive their first gift from my lovely co-worker Amy. She got the baby pacifiers that said stud muffin and princess...they are the cutest things! Fred and I did decide after looking at the pictures of the sonogram that the baby already has a Fred head as he called it. So as of now it has my energy and Fred's looks..haha! That is about all that is going on as of right now. I will be sure to update whenever we find out anything else!

That thing they call morning sickness that I've discovered..yuck!

So I am now 6 1/2 weeks pregnant and been very optimistic that I was not going to get "morning sickness." Well, today is my first day to experience it and let me just say it has lasted all day long and been no fun! I do not like being sick at all so this has not been a fun day for me. My wonderful stepmom Kelly came by and brought me popsicles, ritz crackers, sprite zero, regular sprite, chicken noodle soup, unisom and tums...and let me just say those items have definitely been a lifesaver today. Now only if they would let me have some Red Bull so that I could half way have some energy. Everytime I get up its like I experience motion sickness or something. I just hope that maybe this goes away soon...because I have lots to get done. Anyways, other than that everything is still great...just can't wait from January 26th to get here....it seems like forever away. Hopefully it will not be to bad this weekend because we are going to the horse races and the last thing I want is to be sick. I hope everyone has a great day and we will be sure to let you know whenever something happens!

SURPRISE oh and of course HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well let me just start off by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone and man have we started our new year completely different than EVER expected. Fred and I recently just found out we are pregnant with our first child...awe I know its precious! ;) Now here is how the beginning of my lovely lady bump will start. On December 3o, 2008 I took a pregnancy test on a whim and man was I flabbergasted by this little + sign that appeared on the test. After that appeared I ran an got the instructions to make sure that the + sign meant what I thought it meant. I was in serious denial that my + sign meant positive. After reading over the instructions and making sure I was reading everything correctly I called Fred at work and said "so I just took a pregnancy test and it just came back that I was pregnant." Fred thought for a moment that I was just playing some kind of joke on him but realized soon by the tone of my voice that I was not pretending like it was April Fool's Day. I told Fred to meet me at the house as soon as he could for lunch because I had to get a new test...I had for sure gotten a bad one out of the bunch the first time. Well this time I decided not to deal with + or - signs and go with something that digitally said PREGNANT and NOT PREGNANT....well I realized maybe that wasn't the best idea either because it quickly showed up pregnant. After that I made sure to take another one and well once again the same outcome. I think I have a serious problem because I was still pretty confident that EPT had made there first ever mistake with me and I was going to get rich from it because I had momentary suffering. So we called the doctor and got an appointment and they said my first appointment would be January 26th. Well anyone that knows me knows there is no way Cassy Meisenheimer can wait that long for the 'real' answer to her question. So on December 31, 2008 I call the doctors office back to tell them I must come in for a blood test as soon as possible to make sure that these home pregnancy test were correct. They assured me several times that if 3 test had come back positive I was pregnant and I reassured them that my 3 test were incorrect. So they got me in for a blood test that day while I had to patiently wait (which I'm so good at) for almost 2 hours for them to call and let me know that yes it was official...Fred and Cassy Meisenheimer would become parents. So much to our surprise we had a late Christmas present and a New Years present! We had no idea 2009 had such big plans for us! As of right now we believe we are 5 weeks along (as of January 2, 2009) and as I said earlier will have our first 'real' appointment on January 26th when we get to here the heart beat and bring a VHS tape. And about that VHS tape Fred is in complete denial that we can't just bring a CD because we don't even own a VCR and neither does anyone else these days! :) Also, as of NOW our estimated due date is September 4th. At this very moment that I'm writing this I am not sick just have some indigestion after I eat...but I can handle that. Hopefully this is as bad as it will get....right??? We will be sure to keep everyone posted and whenever we get pictures or information we will be sure to post it. Oh and little bitty baby Meisenheimer will be attending their first MAV's game this friday...so GO MAVS! I will TRY to send out emails when we update our blog. Well it is getting late and pregnant people get tired so I need to get to bed. Once again Happy New Year, Goodnight and PEACE OUT!!

ps- Fred has been excited since he saw the FIRST + sign! :) (he's so wonderful)
