How did your parents react? They were both very shocked when I showed them the ultrasound picture, and very excited!

How did your partner's parents react? They were surprised as well, I don't think they were expecting that from us, as my husbands' brother had just made their announcement a few weeks prior.

Did you go to the doctor yet? Yes multiple times, I am nearing the end stages with weekly appointments!

Did you have your first ultrasound? Yes, we have had two. The initial one, and the 20 week one to determine gender and baby size. He was right on track at that point, actually a day early or so.
