and baby makes three



That's right, we are going to have a baby!!  

It's pretty crazy, but we are definitely excited.  I can't wait to find out the sex of the baby, we are hoping at my next appointment that the doctor will be able to tell... I guess we will have to wait and see!  I have been given 2 due dates, March 26 or April 2.  So, I am going for a due date range.  HA!  I figure baby will make its arrival anywhere from March 20 (would be cool, since it is the first day of spring) to April 9. 

Currently, I am almost 14 weeks... Heading full steam ahead into my second trimester.  I was very lucky during the first trimester.  No morning sickness or any of the other negative side affects of pregnancy.  I still don't really feel pregnant, although I am sure that will change soon.  My pants are starting to get tight, but no baby bump to see yet.  Within the next few weeks I think baby will need more room and it might be time to break out the maternity jeans.  

We are so excited to meet our little one.  Spring seems so far away, especially since we are just beginning fall.  But, I am sure that the next 6ish months will fly by.  Can't wait!


First glimpse of baby... Approx 6 weeks.

Baby is growing little arms and legs!

Baby at 12 weeks and a few days.  Starting to look like a little person!

Yep, looks like we have a bun in the oven!

"For Always"

Since Paul and I started talking about our lives together, we never really talked about "forever".  It was always "for always".

When it came time to get our wedding bands, I knew I wanted to get them both engraved with something meaningful and something that wouldn't lose meaning over time.  So we both took a little piece of paper, wrote what we wanted each others ring to say then we put it in the box.  I took them both to our jeweler to have them engraved.  I made sure to tell him that if Paul picks up the rings, don't let him see what his ring says.  And I (surprisingly) didn't even look.  I wanted to know, but I wanted to be surprised on our wedding day as well.

May 8th came around, and after we said our "I do's" I slipped off my ring to see what he wrote.  It said, simply, "For Always".  It made me smile even more than I already had been.  What did I write in his?  "For Always 5-8-11".  It really made me happy.  We know that we are meant to be.  But seeing what we both wrote, without knowing what the other was writing, well, its pretty cool.  Great minds think a like they say... I think the same goes for those who share a great love.
