1st Pictures of Our Baby!

Yesterday was one of the most exciting days I have ever had in my entire life....we had our ultrasound. Good news is that the baby is healthy and everything is in the right place. It was the most amazing thing watching our little baby move around in my belly....boy is it active! While the ultrasound was going on the baby was kicking it's legs, waving it's hands and doing summersaults. The baby had the hiccups during the ultrasound, it was so cute to see, and we were able to watch the baby yawn. I know everyone is probably wondering what the sex of the baby is, but we're not going to be finding out. I know, I know, so annoying, but we would really like it to be a big surprise. We will all find out soon enough. I am just so happy that the baby is healthy and growing just like it should. Nate and I could not be happier. I am posting 4 pictures of the baby, it's amazing to see what he/she looks like!!
Profile shot of the baby, isn't it soooooo cute!


Here is the baby's leg....look at the little toes curled up. I can't believe how long it's leg is!
This is a picture of the baby yawning.....


Here is another profile shot of the baby. You can actually see the baby's teeth that are up in the gums. I was so happy to see that the baby is healthy....I am a proud Mama!

4 Months Along.....

I am now 17 weeks along and feeling great. I went to my midwife the other day and she said that everything is "perfect". That felt so great to hear. She said I am right where I am supposed to be with the whole pregnancy. I was able to hear the baby's heartbeat again, it just makes me feel so much better hearing that. Our little baby is now 5 inches long and weighs only 5 ounces.... how tiny is that? The baby is very active and moves around all the time. We get to go back to the dr's on July 12th for the ultrasound...I can't wait. Being pregnant is the coolest thing in the whole world....I love it. Here is a picture of me at 4 months.
Other than being pregnant Nate and I have been doing a lot of other things. Unfortunately, Nate works out of town about an hour and a half away and is gone most of the week :( It's okay thou because it's his job and we're so thankful that he has one. We will just have to tough it out. We have been golfing a lot! I never thought I would like to play golf, but it's actually a pretty cool game. Don't get me wrong, it's extremely frustrating, but it's also fun. Who knew a tiny, little, white ball could make you so mad...LOL!! We have gone fishing only a couple of times and I have had NO luck. Of course Nate has caught one.... he got this one last weekend. It's so ugly. ha ha ha....
