Getting Excited!

It's been awhile since I have written a post. As March 4th and 11th draw near I get more and more excited. Dan and I are trying to patiently await the news if the baby is a boy or a girl. We are soo excited to find out. We will find out on the 11th. On the 4th we will have our 3rd routine check-up. I can't wait to hear the heartbeat again. It seems like so long since I have been able to see or hear the baby. I can't wait to make that connection again. I have been noticing a lot of growth, atleast a lot of growing pains. Dan and I can for sure tell that I'm pregnant and I feel as if any day the world around will know too!

I love to post pictures, but often don't have any new ones. So I thought I would share the pictures of when we told our families about our new little addition. We had cookies made with each of their respective names on them. And told them that we had cookies with their names on it. Some were speechless and some were crying, but overall they seemed pretty excited. You will notice that my dad is missing from the pictures. I can't figure out if he ate his cookie first or was just being camera shy. They are all thinking about what names they want to be called, ie grandpa, pops, grandma, nana......and so on. :)

Big Ultrasound Date

The appointment has been made. On March 11th we will have our big ultrasound. This is when we will get to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. As long as the baby is cooperating. We are pretty excited about that!

I would have gotten on top of making the appointment sooner and posting the date, but I've been very much under the weather. Word of advice to all pregnant women, don't get a cold. It's hard to recover. There is not much you can do when you are pregnant and sick. Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who has taken very good care of me and I am now on the mend. Each day I'm doing a bit better then the last. : )

2nd Appointment

Last night we had our second appointment with our Midwife. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat! Amazing! Each step continues to make it more and more real. Everything is going well and the baby is beating right on track. Our next appointment is March 4th. I will also be scheduling an appointment for sometime in March to have our big ultrasound. This is when we will get to see all the body parts and find out if it is a boy or a girl. :)

Many of you may notice that there is no beard in the picture. The other night Dan came home with a haircut and clean shave. Me in my emotional state started to cry. I'm soo happy to see his face. :)
