Update...

Just a little update. I went to the doctor's today for another check-up. The doctor said that everything was looking perfect and on schedule. I got to hear your heartbeat again which was nice and strong again. I love being able to hear your heartbeat, especially until I can feel you moving around. It is just a very reassuring sound. I get to see you again on in about a month and I can't wait!!!

A little peek...

Today I went to the hospital for an ultra sound and got to peek inside my tummy and see you! I couldn't believe how much you have developed already! You were waving your little arms and hands and moving your little legs. The technician wanted you to move a certain way and you just refused! You were happy and cozy in your little spot and you were just not going to move! It was amazing to see you and see that you looked so perfect already. I should be able to get another peek at you in two months. By then I should be able to feel you moving around in my tummy and I can't wait for those first flutters!

Whoosh, Whoosh

Today I got to hear your heartbeat for the first time. The doctor said she wasn't sure if she would be able to pick it up, but she found it right away and it was so strong. It was just the sweetest sound, just knowing that this little life inside me already has a big strong heart just beating away. So thank you for sending your little "hi" to me today.

Someone Take This Food Away!

You sure are making me eat a lot! It seems like I am hungry all the time! And normally I am not one that eats a lot at one time or every hour on the hour! But the last few days I just can't seem to get enough food in me! I know that you are growing and need nourishment, but really you can't get bigger than your brother Sam did (please!). This weekend I am going to cut up lots of fruits and veggies, then at least if I am snacking (well if you count full servings as snacking) then I am eating healthy things. And maybe - just maybe - that desk drawer I have at work will stop depleting itself each day!

Confirmed

Today I went to the doctor's to let them know that you had started to grow inside me. The doctor asked a ton of questions about daddy and me and about when I pregnant with your brother Sam. The doctor said that everything looked good and to come back in four weeks. When I hope that I will be able to hear your little heart beating.

A little surprised!

Well I finally decided that today I should test and see if I was really pregnant. I was almost ten days late for my "time of the month" and I knew that I probably was. That little plus sign showed up almost my pee hit the stick! I think that only a mom can understand, but from that moment I started to loved you. I knew that you were already making a home inside me and beginning your journey. I can't wait to hear your first cry, to hold you and see you smile. I can't wait until the day I get to meet you...

And you might share your birthday with your daddy or grandpa!

The Baby's Own Page

Really, this baby is the reason I started the kid's own blogs. I figured I cannot even keep up with Jacob and Sam's scrapbook, so how in the world am I going to start and keep up with another one?!?! I will do a scrapbook for his or her's first year of life and I will also keep this blog updated.

This blog will be the most complete, since I am starting it before he or she is even born.

And yes, I will be changing the name from "The Baby" to a more appropriate name after he or she is born.

So whoever wants to see anything and everything about the new baby just come on over here! (I am still keeping the family blog, which I will post things about the entire family.)

Note: This will be written as if I am talking to the baby, since this is really their memento and I want them to be able to go back and read this like I was telling them a story about themselves.
