Blessed

So I woke up this morning feeling blessed and beautiful. Don't ask why, it was just a feeling and it felt wonderful if I may add.

I took a belly picture after getting dressed to go run some errands and have breakfast with Dane.

At breakfast we had a deep conversation, as we usually do when we go out to eat (another odd thing I have no explanation for) on parenting and raising the baby...our views and wants etc. It was quite overwhelming. I can't believe how much we think about this little one!! We are so excited for our big ultrasound so we can finally call the baby by his or her name rather than nicknames.

Here's today's photo!


You can tell I'm pregnant and that BLOWS MY MIND. I still can't believe it. I'm blessed to not have had any sickness whatsoever with this baby...it's been a joyous pregnancy and I am very thankful for that. I hope labor and delivery is as smooth as being pregnant is. :) ....wishful thinking, I know. I can always try, right?

HEART BEATS = LOVE

I am so in love. The more I get to hear the baby, the more I realize it IS a baby and that it is mine, and that he or she is growing in me.

I can't wait and every day I am so much more in love with this little baby that I don't even know yet. We can't wait to meet little one!

Enjoy a really good recording of the HB that I caught on the doppler I rented! :)

2/13 Appointment

Everything was stupendous at the appointment. The baby's heartbeat, which I got to hear, was 170! It was so fast and so strong! I was so happy my little one has a strong heart and is in there having a good healthy time.

Our next appointment is scheduled for March 11th, where I'll be 17 weeks along. After that, it's the gender appt at the end of that same month!! We're SO excited!
