Action!

Although I have not been the best at updating the blog, so much has happened in the last month. For the first time a few weeks ago I felt our baby move. I wasn't convinced it was movement at first until I felt it repetitively. It doesn't feel like kicking or any other specific movement, all I can describe it as is movement of some kind. It is the most amazing feeling ever. Every time I feel it, I am reminded of the miracle that is being created inside of my body. I can't wait until the movements are strong enough for Matt to feel. I almost feel guilty that I get to feel our child and the only thing he sees is my growing belly (but then I remember the morning sickness and fatigue and remind my self that I earned the right to feel our baby first). Anyway, my belly continues to grow day by day (pictures to come). Recently, I have had to purchase official maternity clothes. I had been making my pre pregnancy jeans work with my Bella Band but about two weeks ago they just became too uncomfortable. I ordered my first pair of maternity scrubs yesterday. I have to say maternity clothes are pretty comfortable but some times I find myself thinking about all the hard work I'll have to do after the baby is born to get back into my pre prego clothes ahhhhhh!

I was scheduled for my second trimester ultrasound last Wednesday, but I rescheduled it for this Wednesday due to my mom having surgery. If possible i'd love to have my mom at this appointment and I know she is looking forward to being there. Thank you to all of my friends and family who have been praying for her, it's been a rough month but I think we are on the other side of it. She could not have gotten to this point without all of the thoughts and prayers.

I promise lots of ultrasound photos to come and some belly pics as well.
