Little Baby Merritt

So I'm sure most of you have heard the news, but we have a little Merritt baby on the way! We had our first dr. appointment yesterday on base at the hospital where we had the first ultrasound, picture, and got a tentative due date. Jonny says it looks like a little teddy graham at this point. I say alien =) But we're only at 8 weeks, so its hard to see. We were lucky enough to see the heart beating at 189 beats per minute, and even see a little baby dance as it kicked its little leg nubs around. The midwife we saw says that she would bet we've got a girl in there because there is such a high heart beat. Apparently we girls are a little faster than the boys. Jonny said that I got so quiet and still during the ultra sound, and I said that I was just focused on the fact that there was something there, I was still partially convinced they'd be looking for a baby and wouldn't find one! Blame all 6 positive at home tests on a hormonal imbalance or something. But looks like its all real! As of now our due date is April 14th, and we were told that since its our first, to expect being a week late. But then again every pregnancy is different, so we're just along for the ride =)
So 8 weeks in and so far so good! Lucky enough to not have morning sickness or really any symptoms except my constant runs to the bathroom and yawning. Around the 6 week mark you could only find me at work or in bed. So recent life has been filled with lots of reading and unsolicited advice from people we know and don't really know! I find it funny how the minute people find out your pregnant, the pregnancy/birth horror stories come out. I mean, really? Is that the best thing to say to somebody who's just starting out? I was startled at first, not really understanding why someone I barely know would be telling me extremely personal experiences, but now am use to humming a song silently to myself as people retell the worst of their stories. Like I said, so far so good, so why start panicking and worrying now? So I've perfected the smile and nodd as people constantly tell me what to or not to do, and just decided that we will do what we feel is best. Thats kind of the whole gig with parenting anyways?
So now is the beginning of clearing out storage and Jonny has decided to stock us up on diapers and wipes. We have about 3 packs now and he said, "Well that should get us through the first month!" I looked at him, smiled and said, "well, probably just the first week..." His jaw dropped and said, "wow...we'll need more diapers."
So below is the website that we have been keeping on track with, reading and watching babys growing and all week by week!
