The poll has come to a close

The poll has come to a close. 63% of my "fans" think that a little girl is on the way. 37% believe the babe to be a boy. In less than a week, we will be getting a screening ultrasound which includes a gender indentification. I can't wait to let you all know what we find out!

What is Heather going to do?

What is my poor sweet dog going to do when we have a baby in this house? The last time she was around a crying a child she just looked at me and barked.

Letter to Baby

Letter to baby: Well, here I am little bean! You are 17 weeks old today and people are finally beginning to realize that I am pregnant and not just gaining weight. I have a fun new wardrobe thanks to you. Maternity pants feel so much better than my normal jeans! Your Daddy wants you to know that he wrote a song for you and I hope you like it. It's a little ditty about us and how we met. There is so much that I want to show you in the world and I hope you can put up with all the silly little things that I do on a regular basis. Until then, keep on growing and becoming that beautiful little baby I know you will be.

Luv your Mom

3 weeks till the next ultrasound!

I have scheduled my gender screening ultrasound. In three weeks, we will know what the gender of the baby is! I am so excited! I haven't felt any kicking yet but I am sure I will within the next couple of weeks.

Also, I am going shopping for some maternity clothes tomorrow. These pants just aren't getting any bigger.

roller coaster

So here I am, on a late Monday night lounging around in sweatpants. I am sitting in what will soon be the nursery in just a few short months. I can imagine how cute and sweet this little room will be with a fresh coat of paint and happy smiling animals looking down at me from their place on the walls. I feel like I am riding on the slowest roller coaster in the world. It goes so fast yet, it sits still just as much. Regardless of where I am on the ride, I know there is a big drop coming up that will take my breath away.

15 weeks and counting

There are lots of wonderful things happening this week.

1) The baby will soon have teeny tiny little earbones which means I won't be talking to myself anymore. Someone will always hear what I have to say.
2) The baby has been kicking for weeks now but soon, it will be strong enough for me to feel it.
3) In 5 weeks or less, we will also find out the gender of the baby.
4) Picture a granny smith apple, that's the size of the baby.

Safari Room

I've decided on a safari theme for the baby's room. I know it's early but I can't help but look around this little room and see crocodiles, lions and zebras.
