Ready for my next ultrasound please!

I think I've hit that point of nervousness again. I'm so ready to see that little baby on the ultrasound machine I can hardly stand it! A week and a half to wait still. I'm sure everything is just fine, but I have these occasional bouts of doubt. I feel like my stomach sort of "popped" in the beginning and now it's really slowed down. As far as signs and symptoms go though, all seems to be well so for now I continue to pray and wait.

It's been a nice weekend combined with lots of sleeping, relaxing, a couple errands, and some grad school work. Mat completed his Master's (yipee!!!!) in the last couple weeks and now I can't wait to join him. I'm so close to finishing my Action Research Project, but still have a little more work to do. It will be such a relief to know that we're both done....for now anyways. :)

We celebrated Mat's birthday this past week. My brother treated us to a wonderful dinner at Flemings Steakhouse. Mat is finally relaxing and becoming happier again. Finishing his Master's has taken a huge weight off his shoulders. He's also becoming much more relaxed and allowing himself to get excited about the baby. Things are really falling into place for him and I couldn't be happier. He's been so amazing as this pregnancy progresses. I'm so lucky to have his love!

Our 12th week starts tomorrow. I'm not exactly sure why, but that number has always seemed significant and I'm so grateful to be approaching the 12th week of pregnancy. I'm officially done with the hormone supplements and really enjoying that!!! I can't help but think it has to do with the decrease in nausea. Now I anxiously await the 13th week when I pray I can see my little baby squirming once again!

don't you wish you were tom cruise and could just buy your own ultrasound machine to have at home to use anytime you want?? sometimes waiting is the best thing....reminds us constantly of "things hoped for"! And as my memory serves me...Mat has loved you for a long, long time! hugs...djm

What a beautiful thing to say about Mat!!! Waiting will make those times so precious and sweet!!! You look great! It always seemed like you felt "fat" quick, then it was slow to look "pregnant" I just felt akward like I was chunky! :) Then once you get bigger you can enjoy showing off the bump because then it's obvious you're pregnant! Finally you are so huge you are miserable...it's the best feeling!
