We had our 1st Dr.'s appointment yesterday. It seems so long since I've been pregnant, so it was kind of weird being there again. I don't like Dr. visits, but yesterday was pretty easy, where the most unpleasant thing was being weighed, especially when I learned there is a 4 lb. difference from our scale at home :(
I have been having these crazy dreams lately that there were two little babies in my belly. I told Tim about them, so then that got him excited because he wants twin girls. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I would go crazy with two little babies at once. So I was anxious to find out exactly how many little babes there were in there.
Thankfully... there is one in there. One amazing little creation. It just doesn't seem real until you see that little fluttering heartbeat. UGH.. and then you hear it and the sound just brings tears to your eyes. The heartbeat was high 169, and everything looks perfect so far! Baby is due November 3rd. Tim has asked that I hold it in until the 5th so it can be born on his birthday. I said, I will try honey. Doesn't look like we will be able to see if it is a boy or a girl until June. Here is a picture of our little cutie!
Ok, it's really time for me to keep this thing up to date! So hopefully being pregnant will help me do that :) Yep that's right we are expecting baby #3!!! We found out a couple of weeks ago. At first I wanted to kind of keep it on the down low for a while, just have it be Tim and I that knew, kind of our little secret. But that didn't last long. You see for some reason I have a REAL problem with keeping surprises, gifts, basically any kind of exciting news to myself. So the night we found out Tim was on the phone with his dad, we were both sitting in the office, and he turned to look at me, I had this huge smile on my face and he knew exactly what I was thinking.
Tim: You want to tell my dad don't you?? You are horrible Danielle! We just said we weren't going to tell anyone like 5 min. ago!
So it was Tim's dad and mom, then my sister Shelbey, then my mom, grandma, other brothers and sisters, select friends, visiting teachers, and then not even two weeks later posted on Facebook!! Then I got to thinking... why would I want to keep such exciting news a secret?? I've been waiting for this baby for a while. It took a while for Tim to get on board with this whole having another baby thing. So I have my 1st Dr.'s appointment at the end of the month to find out for sure when this little one will be joining our family. I'm thinking end of October or beginning of November.
The boys are so excited. Bowen is sure it's a girl. He was telling everyone at church on Sunday that it was a girl. :) We just keep telling ourselves it's a girl, nothing wrong with having a little faith right?? Either way we are just hoping for a healthy happy little baby! We couldn't be more excited!!!
