Mother's Day and Beautiful Sound

Ryan surprised me with the most wonderful Mother’s day gift. It was a beautiful Baby Angel charm from James Avery. It is the best first Mother’s day gift ever! Right now I am wearing it on my necklace. Once school is out I am going to get it on my charm bracelet along with all of my special charms from my wonderful husband.

I had my regular 4 week appointment. I spent more time in the waiting room that in the doctor’s office. But it was all worth it because I got to hear that wonderful sound ….. Baby P’s beating little heart! I am still so amazed that I am hearing that sound! I could listen to it all day! I was so happy the RN kept the Doppler on there for a good 2 minutes. Such a sweet sound!
I have been feeling pretty good. I think the anytime of day sickness has worn off, but now I am getting horrible headaches! Of course, Tylenol is the ONLY thing I can take and it is NOT working! The doctor told me it is a pregnancy thing and they should subside in a few weeks. In a few weeks school will be out so I am sure the headaches will be gone!

I am so excited for the summer break! I am actually looking forward to cleaning and getting ready for the new addition. I have already recruited my mom to help – Thanks Mom, I love you! Moms are the best! I cannot wait to be one! I have learned from the best so I think I will do just fine!

Looking Good!!!

Ryan and I went in for our second ultrasound today. It is amazing how much our little Baby P has changed! The first thing we heard was the heat just beating away at 160 beats per minute and saw s/he measuring 12 weeks and 3 days! It took a while for the little one to get moving around. After Momma did a little walking around, sitting up and ate a little chocolate s/he finally wiggled a little and stretched its arms and legs. The doctor said things looked great! Things looked like they were developing well and most importantly had a strong umbilical cord. We even saw just a little more than expected …. The doctor in about 8o% just that it is a boy! It could have been a foot, but I am thinking that he is probably right. We will know for sure in 6 weeks when we go back for another ultrasound. Here are a few pictures:

Please continue to keep our Baby P in your prayers. So far they seem to be working! Thank you!

Not A Secret ANYMORE!!!

FINALLY the secret is out ..... WE ARE EXPECTING!!! On March 8, we found out that we would be expecting a little one into this crazy world. We decided to wait until we had a viable ultrasound before we told our families and friends. We patiently waited until Good Friday, April 10. On this day, we saw one of the most amazing things in our lives ..... OUR little one ... with a STRONG heartbeat (165bpm). The ultrasound tech said everything looked GREAT!!! According to the ultrasound I was measuring 8 weeks 5 days - right on track! The estimated due date is November 16.

After lots of prayer it finally happened!!! We are so happy and can not believe that it is actually for REAL! This is a true testament to Trust in the Lord - He will make great things happen!!! "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

Please keep our little Baby P in your prayers that s/he continues to grow and develop into a healthy and happy little bundle of joy! Grow little one grow!!! We love you already!
