Playing Catch Up:
On August 25th we headed to the doctors office super excited to see our newest addition for the first time! I was super nervous and just wanted to get that first peek and make sure everything was good and we confirm that we DID have a little baby inside there (even though I felt sick it is sometimes just so hard to believe that you are pregnant until you see the little peanut lol) :) As the nurse, Gloria, called us back she saw Brad and I am with a BIG smile said, "YOUR BACK!" HAHA! It was sooo great to see Dr. Ball again and she was super excited for us! She just asked me a few questions and then immediately pulled out the ultra sound machine and we got to see our precious little baby for the first time!!!!! It was amazing....our little peanut was just squirming all around and we could hear the heartbeat loud and clear :) The heart rate was 160 bpm! Music to our ears! Dr. Ball said everything looked great and to come back in a month :)
So there is this new thing where they can take women's blood work when they are 12 weeks (at the time they do screening for any abnormalities) and an automative phone service will call you and tell you the gender in a few days! Some of my friends did this and we were contemplating looking into it...wouldn't that be cool to know 8 weeks earlier...WOW I could get a lot done in that time ha! We called to see how much it would cost but our insurance would not cover it and it was going to be like $600 so we decided just to wait. As much as I wanted to know I knew it would be fun to find out in the ultra sound room!!! So we are patiently going to wait!
Next BIG question everyone asks us.... Do you want a boy or girl?!? Well I always thought that whatever I had first I would want the opposite the second time, but I am feeling good either way! I think it would be neat to experience a boy BUT I think it would be so awesome for B to have a sister (especially one so close in age). Hmmmm so I am really excited either way! Brad said he is excited either way too! I know he would love a boy BUT he loves his little girl and would be so happy with another one...there is just a special bond between daddies and their girls!!! Ahhhh I just can't wait to find out!!!
Well without further ado.......
Here is the first picture of Baby Walker #2!!!
Music to our Ears!
Here we are about to leave to head to the doctors!
It was such an awesome day! We are so in love with out new baby on the way....no words to describe it really! Very thankful that all looked well and there was such a strong heartbeat :) We just can't wait to meet this precious soul! Love you Baby W :)
