Surprise!!

Well, by now most of you should know our happy news that we are expecting a baby!! WOW! We are still in disbelief. As of today, I am exactly 16 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I am due on July 9, two days before K's birthday! I go in for my 16 week appt on Monday where I'll get to hear the heartbeat again. I've already heard it twice...music to my ears! I actually was able to see the baby at 7 weeks, which was awesome though the bean looked just like...well...a bean. (See image below.) Our 20 week appointment is at the end of February. K will go with me to that one. It'll be the first time he'll hear and/or see the baby first hand! 

It's crazy. We never thought we'd be here. But this baby wasn't an accident or a surprise. We were trying. And here we are! I've felt great. No nausea or morning sickness. No excessive tiredness. No pain. I am very grateful and thankful to God. 

I'll do my best to keep you posted on the pregnancy, including images when we have them. Thanks for any and all prayers & well wishes as we are on this journey.
