up-close and personal

Hello again, little one. Still has hands in front of face all the time... I think we may have a thumb/finger sucker?? We'll have to see I guess...
Eric thinks it's a boy, just from looking at the face and because the baby is moving all the time. He doesn't think a girl could have that much energy. I can certainly tell him this girl doesn't have that kind of energy, but I think we can all appreciate where all my energy has been going lately! Takes a lot out of a person to grow another person!

Ultrasound!

Look! It's a baby in there!

That's just a couple of pics, I have more here... The little stinker had his/her hands in front of his/her face the entire ultrasound. Cute, but frustrating to the poor tech. She kept wiggling the probe to make him/her move, but no luck. Everything looks good though, and I volunteered to go back in a couple weeks to be a victim for a fetal heart ultrasound training. And they promised more 4D pictures so that's cool. I don't think it will get old looking at that cute face, no matter how grainy/goofy it looks!

baby blanket again

Just another little crocheted blanket. This one is literally little though. It will probably work for a
carseat blanket, but not much else! Cute though...

I finally finished the first project I've been working on for the little one. And it's my first "big" crocheted project too! I think it turned out pretty well. At least that's one checked off the list...

I can still see you!

But probably not for long...

This week I have really started to feel pregnant. There has been an invasion in my belly. I went to the midwife Monday and asked her to show me where my uterus was. And it was just below my belly-button. Crazy. This whole time I was in denial thinking there was nothing much going on in there. And apparently there most certainly is. I got to hear the heartbeat again too. Such a nice reassuring sound. We also get to schedule the ultrasound for a couple of weeks from now. Maybe not quite as exciting for everyone else- we're not finding out the sex... But fun for us to see the little peanut.
I have been busy procrastinating on wedding Thank-You's, crocheting a baby blanket, putting my feet up, and spending lots of time on the interweb looking at baby stuff. LOTS of time. But at least that involves putting my feet up! More on baby blankets and such soon...

wed.

I couldn't be happier. I'm now married to my best friend, am part of the best extended family, and am going to be a mother to that man's baby... Could NOT be happier.

nice.
