And the world will know!

We announced you to the world today, Baby! I posted the picture below on my Facebook page with this caption: "Here is our new family portrait. Bonus points if you can spot the hidden gem!"


Everyone is SO excited that you have come into our lives. I can't wait for everyone to meet you! Daddy finally got to see you up close and personal yesterday when he came with me to my appointment with Dr. Sheila. You were moving around a bit so your heart rate was strong at 167bpm! Sheila got a great shot of your little legs--look!


SO STRONG!

Love you, Baby!

HEARTBEAT!!

My sweet lil blueberry, I saw your heart beating today!! I cannot even explain how AMAZING you are already! You have made me so happy, and I praise the Lord that you are safe and healthy and growing just as you should!

I was very scared before going in to see the doctor. I just had this feeling like I needed to be prepared to see your tiny little lifeless body just hangin out, but there you were, just as you should be, with a beating heart! And I got to hear it! HALLELUJAH! (And I took a video for Daddy so that he could hear you, too.)

Love you, Baby!

Alright, Sweet Lil Thing...

Will you please stop scaring Mommy?? I can't seem to get any answers as to whether or not you're going to be okay. I keep having some issues that don't seem right, but thank GOODNESS for community message boards because I know I'm not alone in what I'm experiencing. Many other moms have noted the same issues I'm having--even throughout their entire pregnancies--and their babies are happy and healthy now. But holy cow I wish things would just settle down so that I can rest easy!

I've stopped running for now--I've been training for a half marathon this whole time--just to keep you extra safe. The good news is I'm going to be able to start walking with Daddy, who is ALSO training for a half marathon. His will be in San Diego. You and I are going to Washington, DC! I'm so excited about that, because that's a first for me!

Anyway, because my doctor hasn't been able to tell much by what she's seen thus far, she's bringing me in for another ultrasound on Thursday afternoon. Hopefully, I'll finally get to see your sweet little heart beating away! I know that will put me at ease...but Thursday at 4pm seems so far away! It's a good thing I have a lot to keep me busy until then.

Love you, Baby.
