Here is our little gummy bear at 9 weeks 2 days. We had our first appointment on June 3rd. It was amazing! We heard the super fast heartbeat, saw it wiggle (my dad said "he" was practicing to box with Papa!), and had all 4 limbs! Success!
12 week photo-op (June 22nd marks 12 weeks). We are in the safe zone!! I started seeing a big difference this week with my belly. My jeans aren't fitting as well and my bump is more than just a food baby. :)
I haven't had much morning sickness at all. I had about 4 days of it in week 6. My boss was gone that week, I was her, and I was worried to say the least. I prayed a ton for the Lord to give me strength to be around all the kiddos. He totally supplied and then some. I've been feeling great ever since. I am exhausted... all the time. But, I'd much rather have that than feeling like I could puke every 30 seconds. I'm feeling so very blessed to be carrying this little peanut!
AC is very excited. I probably remind him just about everyday "you're going to be a dad..." so awesome to think about! He's anxious for me to show more and to find out if our prediction of a boy is on. With 4 precious little nieces, we're going to have to get a boy somewhere in there, right?! I know my dad is banking on us to have at least 1. Steve (my father in law) is going against the grain and is thinking it's a girl. My sister in law is 14 for 14 with baby predictions though... and she thinks it's a boy. We'll see what we're blessed with! We're just praying for a healthy baby.
My goal is to keep family and friends updated through our blog so all of you can go on this journey with us. I hope to be posting belly photo's and feelings once a week. We're so excited for our first baby, so grateful that God is blessing us with this amazing time in our lives, and can't wait to meet our little one around January 4th, 2012!! Please keep us in your prayers as we're experiencing all this for the first time. We love you all!
