Where'd that come from???

Well they say it happens overnight, but WOW! Chris and I have noticed my bump for a week or two now... and it may be that I have been wearing loose fitting shirts, but today I woke up and thought, "Where did this come from?" My bump grew overnight! First thing I did was weigh, because I thought, bigger stomach = more weight... but still only have gained 1 pound since my ego has gotten prego. So a little excited that it is becoming evident, I put on a tighter shirt and took a picture for the baby book... just thought I'd share :)

We go for our next appointment on Wednesday!

I CAN'T WAIT :)

Time is Flying!

When I noticed my last post was June 3rd, it really hit me how fast the summer is going! Wow! I have enjoyed my break, but I'm starting to get cabin fever! I've read at least 4 (500+ page) baby books, googled girl and boy baby bedding to death, and recently started to update the living room! We are painting, yes again, and getting new table toppers and pillows made! I'm pretty pumped about it!

On the baby news... life is great! I am feeling TONS better! This is the first week that I have started to "show." However, to a stranger not so much! But Chris and I can tell, especially me when I try to button my jeans... just isn't happening anymore! Plus for me though, I've only gained 1 pound so far! Yay! I just knew I'd be the kiddo that ate everything! Figured I'd crave donuts and ice cream... but all I want is cheese toast, orange juice, and fruit! I drink a gallon of orange juice in two days... and this week's fruit = plums! Yummy! Last week's was watermelon! I have also been craving cucumbers lately, but quickly learned they give me SEVERE indigestion! Ouch! O the joys of pregnancy... and we are just getting started :)

The Heartbeat!!

Yesterday we went for our second sonogram! It had really grown since the previous one! The little heartbeat was strong and steady! It was awesome! I couldn't cry nor laugh... I just stared at that screen with my mouth wide open. I did look over and Chris to see his sweet, smiling face! She printed out our pictures and it was then that my eyes welled with tears. Sitting with Chris in the waiting room, looking at our small miracle, I was overjoyed! What a miracle! We met with our doctor to go over my bloodwork (which was great) and the do's and don'ts. It was truely a GREAT day!

I was so excited the rest of the day and it was hard to sleep last night! We read all the gender myths. Crazy how many there are! We did the ring on a string over the belly - it said girl. The pendent over your hand said girl. Chinese gender calendar says boy. We know that the Lord will give us exactly what we need and we truely don't have a preference! We just want healthy!
