Ultrasound #2

March 9, 2012- At my first appointment during my ultrasound they saw I had a cyst on my left ovary.  So they scheduled an ultrasound 2 weeks later to make sure it hadn't grown.  The cyst didn't grow, and we got another opportunity to see our little one :) Baby Rad looked great and had a heart rate of 179!!

Pregnancy Annoucement Pictures

March 4, 2012- Our friend Lisa takes great pictures of her family, so we knew she would be able to help us out!  We had found some ideas on Pinterest and she helped bring them to reality :)

She couldn't believe we made her take our picture while we were kissing :)

Mark's favorite of course ;)

                                                        

Baby Rad's 1st picture

My first appointment was February 24, 2012 and I had an ultrasound to help me determine the due date.  We found out we were 8 weeks pregnant and our due date was October 5th!  We couldn't believe our eyes, what a miracle! We could see arms &legs and a heart rate of 169! 

Spreading the news

February 8, 2012

We were going to try and wait till our 1st appointment until we told our families, but we were just too excited to share the news!  We always have dinner with my parents, brother and my nephews on Wednesday nights, so I made a special dessert for the occassion!  James wondered why I had crosses on all the cupcakes, which I have to admit they do look more like a cross than a positive sign!! But Mom was busy spelling out the letters B-A-B-Y!!!  We told Mark's family by the way we signed our Valentine's Day card, Love- Mark, Cassie & baby Radtke :)

I dont' know if Preston was happy about the baby or the cupcake ;)

A new beginning
