9 1/2 Weeks!

Well here is baby Clarke number 2! I am 9 and 1/2 weeks pregnant and we just had our first appointment with the specialist. Because of the medication I take for epilepsy I need to see the specialist 3 times throughout the pregnancy to make sure that the medication isn't affecting the little one. It can be stressful knowing that there is a greater risk for a problem but what is wonderful is that we get to see our baby 2 more times than most pregnant women. In the picture above you can't see a lot but I will try to explain what you can see. The head is to the right and you can see a little profile looking straight up...then toward the left upper side of the baby you can see a little foot bud sticking up. That's the baby! We got to see his/her feet moving around but that's about it. There isn't much to see at this point but the doctor said the heart beat looked great and so far no signs of anything terribly wrong. Our next sonogram appointment is on tax day and grandpa Toomey will be joining us for the big appointment to find out if Lelia will have a little sis or bro :) We will keep everyone informed. Thank you for your prayers for our new addition to the family. We already love this little person so much! Still terrified of being a mommy of two in just one short year but we'll manage. Love to all, Brooke, Tom and big sis Lelia.
