August 1, 2008 - Baby Bogard on the way!

Good Morning All,

We had the opportunity to speak with a few of you yesterday, but couldn't possible get to everyone in one day, so we thought we would send you an email this morning with all of the wonderful news we received from the Dr. yesterday. And to some of you this may be a complete surprize, but we promise it is a good one.

WE'RE HAVING A BABY!

We seem to be off to a great start. Our little "Peanut" is 6.7 millimeters and has a good strong heart rate of 136 beats per minute. The Dr. confirmed yesterday that we are 6 weeks and 4 days +/- 4 days, so basically we are 7 weeks along.

We have quite a way to go, but we are doing so well we were released yesterday from the specialist in Temple to start seeing an OB in Waco. After talking with several people we decided last night on Dr. Moore with the Providence group and I was able to get an appointment with him on August 14th.

I am feeling great. I get tired pretty easy, but no real sickness to speak of. When I do feel sick it is usually at night, so I am telling people that I have night sickness instead of morning sickness. Leave it to a Bogard to make things difficult. ;) I am a huge fan of hot sauce and guacamole right now. In fact, we think there is a possibility we may end up with a Mexican Hat Dancer if I keep eating a solid diet of Mexican food. I only have a few aversions, cantaloupe, cilantro, and pizza sauce (which sucks because I love pizza).

Daddy D seems to be doing well too. He is a little stressed, but seems to be better now that we know we have one pea in our pod rather than the possible three we thought we might have. He is being absolutely wonderful and very supportive of the crazy preggo that lives with him. I couldn't have asked for a better husband or Daddy for our baby.

Thanks to all of you for all of your prayers and support. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family to support us during these exciting times. We will keep you updated with changes and can't wait for our "Peanut" to be here.

XO,

Kelly and Daniel
