More baby kicks!

July 13, 2015   
  Last night I was laying in bed and I felt you kick OUTSIDE my belly!  It was pretty amazing.
I laid my hand on my tummy and I could feel little thumps, kind of like a roller coaster bump, bump.
It was so much fun.  I grabbed your Daddy's hand and placed it where you were moving and he felt you too!  They were pretty mild still but so amazing!  You are a little acrobat in there...I hear that you should enjoy the space you have while you can cuz as you grow you get less and less to play in. 
You make me giggle every time I feel you move, and when you kick I get the hugest grin on my face.  It is just so amazing to feel you, my little miracle, moving around and growing and getting stronger and healthier in me. 
  Daddy plays classical music for you at night and in the car sometimes, I wonder if you will enjoy it when you are here with us in the world.  I love worship music and should play it more, I don't turn the radio on very often...sometimes I just sing, I love to sing.  I used to play guitar, not very well just enough to get by, but it has been a long time so I am super rusty and my fingers hurt when I try.
  I really enjoy eating McDonald's cheeseburgers right now and am not so fond of veggies at this time.  I try and eat well and get you protein and good stuff you need....sorry if you grow up not liking or wanting veggies, I usually like them but since having you my tastes have changed quite a bit. 
But I still LOVE Reese's Peanut butter cups!  Yum :)
Love ya Princess Mac <3

Baby heartbeat!

June 30, 2015
Today at my appointment, the Doctor was able to get your heartbeat and Daddy was there to hear it!
Hearing your heartbeat just made my heart soar.  Doc says you are healthy and growing and doing well.  I am so happy.  You are such a little miracle and our lives will never be the same!  So excited to meet you.  Right now we are getting ready for you.
I took a nap, because you needed rest.  While I did that Daddy surprised us and moved the bed and bookshelves out of your soon to be nursery and set up our soon to be guest room in the basement.  I am so excited to organize and paint and put your place together so that you have your little home. 
My arms already ache to hold and snuggle you.
Love you Princess.

 

you are kicking!!!

I have been feeling little pinches and spasms and kinda wondering if it is you or my body.
Well this afternoon I definitely felt you kick me a few times!  It is the coolest thing ever.
What cool timing since yesterday we went to the clinic and got to see you. You were shy and had your legs crossed most of the time.  The technician moved you enough during the hour that she was able to show us that you were indeed our little GIRL!  I can't wait to meet you.

June already!

Hey my lil' Mac,
Lets see, lots to catch you up on here...
Your Daddy loves to ride his bike and we have been many places already for him to do 50 -100 miles.
Sometimes I wonder if you will be riding with him one day; I tried one year and I did a few rides, my biggest was a 50 with hills and I was crying and he was pushing me at the end.  Mommy likes tennis.
Anyway, we just returned from a trip to Wenatchee and Leavenworth.  While Daddy pedaled around Wenatchee, Mommy got to shop and play in Leavenworth.  But I met him at the finish line!  It was super hot, almost 100 degrees.  It was a fun weekend, we enjoyed bratwurst and beer for Daddy root beer for Mommy (and you).

Monday, June 1- was a tough day for Mommy.  I had training all day and then went to my Obgyn appointment.  Training made my mind like jelly.  My OB appointment made me very emotional.
My doctor is concerned that my blood pressure is too high and my pulse is too fast and my heart has been overworking.  So he is sending me to UW next week for testing.  I cried afterwards, thankfully Aunty Bunny was in town and came and calmed me down and talked me through my emotions.
I took the next day off work so that you and I could sleep and rest and just chill for the day; we needed it.  I can't wait to feel you.

Today your daddy and I went to a really wonderful doctor.  He tried to hear your heartbeat but couldn't so he took us in and did an ultrasound so we got to see you again and you were kinda squirming around.  He then took a picture of your heartbeat - so we saw it but didn't get to hear it.
Mommy really likes this new doctor.  I can't wait to meet you!  Right now, I still can't feel you but I know you are all snug in there enjoying the comforts of lots of space to play in.

Today we got a phone call with the results of the blood DNA test.
You are healthy and we also found out that you are (90% most likely) a.........
GIRL!
I was super surprised, this whole time I was thinking you were a boy.  Sorry about that kiddo.
My sister and Tiffany have been tossing some girl name ideas my way because I don't have any ideas yet.  I can't wait to know what we should name you and get to know my little baby girl.  My princess.
Will you be a girly girl and wear make up and dress up or will you be a tomboy and climb trees and race other kids?  Will you ride a bike with Daddy?  Will you learn to draw or sew or cook?
This is so much fun!  There are so many adventures awaiting you to find them.

Your Aunty Bunny was able to come to my ultrasound this morning.  We watched you squirm around and wave.  You kind of look like an alien in this picture.  But you are super adorable.
Later, I got to hear your heartbeat and it was so beautiful.  It made me cry.
I am so in awe of the gift that you already are even though I can't feel you yet.
You are so beautiful my little one.
