We're having a...

I first have to say that I feel so loved. I can't believe all the people that are coming along on this journey and are sooo excited to find out our good news!!

Are you ready?

Are you sure?

Okay, Here it goes..........

Yeppers! We are having a girl! Bear drew all of this himself. Yeah, I'd say he's excited!

This was such an exciting and emotional day. You see, this was Bear's first ever Baby Appointment. Despite "Button" moving around and kicking A LOT these days he has yet to catch a kick himself so I'm sure the idea of our baby had yet to become "real" for him. On the way to the appointment I asked him "From 1-10 how excited are you" and the answer came quick "50"! Having him there with me in the room and watching his face as he saw his baby for the first time was priceless. I have to admit I had tears running down my cheeks.

I have the world's greatest husband.

Week 19 is a Mango? Hmm...

Hello there dear Readers. It's me again. January is here and today we finally have our first snow fall of the winter. It's not even 2" and the top is a layer of it is sleet but I'll take it. It will all be melted by tomorrow so I'm enjoying it for the moment.

Some of you have been asking when you'll get to see my next "Belly" shot, well here it is!

Thanks to Bear the photographer!

This is what week 19 looks like. They say that "Button" is the size of a Mango this week but I could not find a 6 inch long Mango anywhere. This particular Mano is only 5 inches long but it will have to do. "Button" is suposed to be 6" from crown to rump. How in the world does all of that fit in there? This past week has really been an active week for Button with all day Flips, Twirls, and Kicks. This is quite an active baby already.

This morning was the first time I could feel the kick on the outside of my belly. Quite a feeling.

Week 11/Lime, Week 15/Naval Orange, Week 19/Mango

Now this is something I didn't think of ahead of time... How I would feel seeing myself pictured over time. I knew I wanted to take these pictures but I never thought how weird it would be to watch my body morph. It's funny how you get used to yourself changing little bits every day but as I look back over these pictures...well simply put, this is one amazing journey that's only going to get more amazing.

A HUGE thank you goes out to all of you who are coming along with me on this journey. I couldn't do this with out you.

I promise my next post won't be so long in coming as this Tuesday Jan. 24th is when we find out if "Button" is a girl or a boy!! Stay tuned!
