That night we couldn't think straight. Feelings of excitement coupled with terror (maybe more for April... WHAT is going to happen to my body?!) flooded our emotions. After all was said and done we knew we would have to see the doctor to have our at-home tests confirmed.
On July 7th April met with her doctor and confirmed that there is a little Walker growing in the womb! She called Brandon and confirmed the exciting news. He had to call back downstairs from his cell phone in order to avoid disrupting his co-workers! We were completing our 5th week of pregnancy at this time and the baby was growing from a poppyseed to an apple seed!
Among the first to know was Mom (Gina), Paige, April's co-workers (Dr. Arcan, Perla & Dolores). We shared the news with April's family Sunday, July 11, 2010 along with Brandon's parents and brother. On Monday we had dinner with Aya, Joe & Evy where we shared our joy (We told April's good friend Gina that previous Saturday). Now, the great news has been shared with many of our loved ones and we can't be more excited.
The week we found out about the pregnancy Brandon had a dream that we had a girl and she had a name! We'll see if his premonition proves true! The name is on our short-list of possible girl's names and for the time being we're keeping it to ourselves. How awesome would it be to tell our little girl that her Daddy dreamt about her before we had even known she was a "she". Don't worry... we have boys' names in mind as well!
We are looking forward to sharing our progress with our family and friends and can't wait to meet our little one. Today marks the 40th day of pregnancy and the baby (or, fetus) is transforming from a sweet pea into a blueberry! Our progress will also be confirmed at upcoming appointments. We may be a couple of days/weeks (one or two) ahead or behind than originally estimated.
Our next appointment is Wednesday, July 21st where hopefully, our ultrasound will produce a heartbeat and quite possible a visible blob!
