Here I am--what up momma?

Ah! Yesterday was so exciting, I visited the doctor and unfortunately he had been called out three times that day and was gone for good by the time I got there for my appointment. However, Leah (nurse practitioner) was able to see me and went ahead and listened for the baby. He (we'll just pretend it's a boy) was moving about and every time we heard the heartbeat he would kick or roll over.




Then she got the sonogram machine to take a look. At first it was just the top of his head, then he turned his back on his (literally), finally he rolled over and showed us his face and a little wave---what up momma?  Then he was back to his ball just showing his back.

I think it is so amazing to be able to see your baby in the womb before you even met them. It is even crazier that this baby already acts and looks like one of us. I think the little divot in his chin looks just like Todd's and being annoyed about taking pictures reminds me of Todd too. The only thing that slightly reflexs me is that he is a mover and shaker.



We go some time the first week of December to find out the sex, but we will not be revealing it to ourselves or anyone else till Christmas---HO HO HO Merry Christmas it's a ----?

15 Weeks

We head the doctor tomorrow for a routine check up and I am hoping that he finally puts that tape measure over my belly. I have been waiting since I found out I was pregnant for him to measure my belly. Now, ask me in four months how eager I am to be weighed or measured and I might have a difference of opinion. Either way, we look forward to ever opportunity to see Bubba growing or to hear him having a good time!

They need to write a book about all the fun you get to have while you are pregnant--I am just in awe of all that happens each day. I always dreamed of having a family, especially when I met Todd, and now that we are starting our family I can't believe it is happening to me--I feel so lucky.
