I'm pretty sure that I felt baby move today! I remember what it feels like from last time and I've been feeling little flutters throughout the day. It's amazing...definitely my favorite part about being pregnant. There is nothing more exciting than feeling the first movements of your little one. I sure have missed that feeling! I'm just so happy, I had to share!
Oh, and Danny got to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time today. I used my fetal doppler and of course when he was watching, I couldn't find it right away. It took me a couple of minutes but I did find it eventually....what a beautiful sound! Baby's little heart was beating at about 155 bpm! Danny thought it was pretty neat.
Gosh, it's amazing how much I love this baby already! I can't wait to meet him/her in December!

Blog neglect....oops!
July 6th, 2010
I feel like I have some catching up to do. I don't know why I've been neglecting my blog for the past couple of weeks. Guess life just gets in the way sometimes!
Anyway, what have we been up to.....lets see. On June 23rd, Danny and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. Well, we actually didn't get to celebrate until the weekend because he was out of town for work. So that Friday I came home to a dozen huge peach colored roses. They were beautiful! Danny cracked open a beer and I poured up a glass of sparkling wine (I wanted to at least feel like I was celebrating with a drink haha) and we relaxed at home together. Then on Saturday, we got dressed up and went out for a nice supper. It was fun, we don't do that very often! I can honestly say that this has been a great year and I am so in love with my husband! I can't imagine my life with anyone else.
This past weekend we packed up and headed home for the 4th of July. We got to visit both of our families and many of our friends. It was a blast but I'm so exhausted! I'm not used to staying up late and being out in the sun all day anymore....I feel like I need an extra week off just to recover. It was so much fun though and I'm happy we got to spend some time with everyone.
Next month we are planning on moving out of our apartment and moving into a townhome. I cannot wait to get out of this apartment. The only good thing about where we live now is that it's cheap. Otherwise, good riddance I say! Our new place is going to be so much nicer. We will have much more privacy, won't have to walk up 3 flights of steps to get to it, a 2 stall attached garage, and our own washer and dryer. It's going to be heaven! We are hoping to start moving by August 20th....so if anyone has some free time, feel free to come help haha ;)
And to end this post, I thought I would share another picture of my growing belly. This was taken a week ago. My next appointment is next Tuesday. Hopefully we will get to set up our ultrasound then. Danny and I still have to decide if we are finding out the gender....hopefully we can make up our minds by then!

Father's Day
June 20th, 2010
Well, it's Father's Day and guess where I am? That's right, I'm at work....again. BLECH! And this time, no mom and dad to visit with. They had a busy weekend back home, but that's okay, so far it hasn't been too bad here.
I've been thinking a lot about Danny today! I can't wait for us to have a little one in our lives and see how he adjusts to becoming a dad. I know he's going to be a great father....I don't have any doubts about that! He's been getting more excited about having a baby. He's been talking about it more and he even discussed names with me the other night! We both agreed though that baby will not be named until we see him or her. We have a list of a few boys and girls names we both love and hopefully once we see baby, the name will just fit! I'm so excited for December to hurry up and get here (hmm, never thought I would be saying that I want summer to go by fast and I want winter to be here....yikes!) haha.
Anyway, wishing all of the wonderful dads out there in the world the best Father's Day today. I'm a very lucky girl to have such an amazing dad, an great father-in-law, and a fantastic husband! Love you all.

Little bump
June 15th, 2010Well, I decided to bite the bullet and finally post a "belly" picture. So there ya have it, my little bump!
According to the doctor, I'm 13 weeks today (however, I'm going to continue with what I've been dating myself because it's so close anyway). The fatigue has gotten a lot better and I haven't been quite as nauseous so that's been great! I'm thinking the maternity clothes may have to come out soon. So far, my regular pants have been doing the job....but I don't know how much longer that will last.
Danny has been talking about the baby more so I think he's finally getting used to the idea that we are going to be bringing a little one home in 6 months. I know he's going to be a great dad and I can't wait to witness the bond he has with our child. I'm so happy and blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life!
My next appointment is July 13th and I can't wait. Until then my schedule is pretty busy. I work this weekend, which I'm not looking forward to. Then I have a 4 day weekend, work 2 days, and have a 5 day weekend over the Fourth of July! We will be going home to celebrate with Danny's classmates...they are having their 10 year reunion so that should be fun (my hubby's getting old!) I'm just excited to go home and see our families and friends!
Still praying every day that our little one remains healthy xoxo

Baby's first picture
Picture taken 6/3/2010 at approximately 11 weeks
June 8th, 2010
June 8th, 2010Today was my first appointment! I didn't get to meet my doctor because he was on-call and had to go to the hospital for a surgery so I met his nurse practitioner. She was fantastic and was so great to talk to. We talked about what happened with Gabriel and she reassured me that they would be keeping an extra close eye on this baby (even though the odds are VERY low that something like that would happen again).
She did a quick ultrasound of the baby! I got to see baby moving around and also got to see it's little heart beating. What an amazing thing....I'm so in love already! They set me at 12 weeks today and that my due date would be December 22nd. I had calculated my due date as December 23rd....so I was pretty close! :)
Danny unfortunately couldn't make it to the appointment today because he is out of town for work this week. My next appointment is on July 13th and then our big ultrasound is in about 8-10 weeks. I'm hoping he can be around for that.

Everything Can Change in a Heartbeat
June 1st, 2010
Four years ago today, June 1st, was when I found out that Gabriel had left us. I woke up that Thursday morning and headed off to my doctors' appointment. The physicians assistant searched for my baby's heartbeat and couldn't find it. She went to get the doctor. He couldn't find the heartbeat either so I was sent to have an ultrasound. I remember laying on the table, and with tears in her eyes, the ultrasound tech. asked if I wanted a moment to be alone. I've never felt so alone in my entire life. That moment changed my life forever!
Today, baby #2 is 10 weeks and 5 days. Something inside of me said that today was the day I should try out my fetal doppler. Hearing that little one's heartbeat makes me so happy! The sound brings peace, joy and excitement to my own heart. I love this baby already so so much, I can't wait to have our little one in my arms! Funny a simple sound can have such a profound impact.
I love my son and miss him every single day. This day, four years ago, was the most heartbreaking moment of my life. And today, four years later, I love my growing baby and wait in excitement for our little one every day. I can't wait to see what our future has in store for us!
