MUSIC TO MY EARS



We are in the clear to announce that we are expecting!!!! I'm 12 weeks along and ecstatic if you can't tell. Steve and I have been wanting this for a while and we've had to be very patient and now I'm telling the WORLD!!! We had a little scare this morning we went in to hear the heart beat because they weren't able to find it 2 weeks ago, and again they couldn't hear it. I have the most AWESOME Dr. you could ask for, he was so kind and compassionate and Steve and I could tell that he was trying to not get our hopes up so he sent us in for an ultrasound 2 hrs later after he had me consume a ton of water (which was very painful) The ultra sound was great our little peanut is adorable and has 2 legs, 2 arms and a very very strong fast heartbeat and everything measures perfectly. I had 2 different types of ultrasounds just to make certain everything was ok. I had so much fun looking at our baby moving around like crazy, I wanted to see if I could just stay all day and watch it but I thought might be inappropriate. I can already tell that this little guy or girl is going to be stubborn because there is no reason for it to scare us like that.

I want to pay tribute to Steve, I seriously could've never asked for a better supportive husband, nor do I think that I necessarily deserve him, he has been amazing through this whole process. He treats me like a Queen and he is very adamant that I don't lift anything over 25 pounds. He is a truly amazing husband!!

My first trimester has been great the only thing I would change is never to be that tired again in my life. The fatigue is really what got the best of me.

I hope no one minds my selfish blog, I just want to make sure everyone knows how ecstatic we are!! I thank my Heavenly Father everyday that I'm a woman and that I'm able to be a mom!! I really hope that I have the qualities of my own mother she is amazing and I appreciate all the sacrifices she made for me.
I also hope that I can have the qualities of Steve's mom as well, even though I never met her I know everyday that she was truly amazing and she loved each of her kids so much and knew them so well personally.
