View From the Outside

Hello there little one! You sure have made my belly pop out within the last ten weeks! Here is what it looks like from the outside right now. Hope you are nice and cozy inside there, but not too cozy, you only have two months left until you meet us!

Another Peek

I had another ultra sound today. The doctor wanted to re-check some things she didn't like from the last ultra sound I had. Your daddy went with my this time so that he could take a little peek at you too. The ultra sound tech reassured us that everything is looking perfect and right within the normal ranges. So that was great news! It was so nice to see you again. You really have become more active lately and we could see you moving all over on the video screen. Still no peeking on whether you are a boy or girl (and I really don't have a feeling one way or the other). I was really happy that I got to take another sneak peek at you!

Halfway There!

Wow, you have reached the halfway point of growing in my tummy! I can't believe how fast that went by, now I just hope that the next 4.5 months goes by just as fast, because I cannot wait to meet you! I can feel you move around all the time now. You move a lot, just like your brother did (maybe it's all the candy that I like to eat!). Here is a picture of what it looks like outside of my tummy right now.

A little hello

I got to see you again today! You certainly have grown since the last time I saw you about six weeks ago. Your Aunt Becky and Aunt Jeanette also came to the doctor's with me so that they could see you too. They thought it was pretty neat that they could so much of you, like your heart beating and you moving around. And even though everyone else wants to know if you are a boy or girl, we still didn't find out. Just another 5 months or so until we meet you and find out!

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!
