We got to hear our little baby's heart beating for the first time today! I think I'm in love! :) I could listen to that 'thump, thump' all day long and never get tired of hearing it! The heart rate today was 156 bpm, nice and strong! It is so exciting for us to experience all of these things together. We've hoped, wanted, and prayed for this baby for a long time and it just feels surreal to read, see, and hear all the changes that are taking place with our baby from week to week. Our baby is growing up so fast! LOL
We'll be 12 weeks tomorrow, and are quickly approaching the 2nd trimester. I am feeling ALOT better, and am really able to enjoy being pregnant. I can't wait to see what changes are just around the corner, including the baby bump. And don't worry, as soon as there is something to see, we'll post a pic. Our next appointment is March 23, and our next ultrasound won't be until the end of April when we get to find out whether we'll be having a son or a daughter. Can't wait!!

Daddy's Last Birthday! LOL!
Jinx turned 25 on Saturday! In Jinx's words, this was his 'last birthday'. And although that isn't exactly true, we both know that every birthday after this will be different. As we won't be so consumed and worried about our own desires and wants once we have a little one to care for. It was a great birthday though! We had a great weekend celebrating with both family and friends. Dinner at Red Lobster, UT basketball game, 'Happy Birthday Daddy!' cake, and the Super Bowl! You couldn't ask for much more.
Our baby is still growing away! Even though the sickness has been rough, I know that it is only the first of many sacrifices we will make for our baby. And as long as the baby benefits from it, then we'll just be thankful for it. Silly me, I thought I had made it past the worst after week 8. Last week was pretty good, but the ole quesiness is back again this week, so we will continue the countdown to the end of the first trimester and hope it ends there. We'll be 10 weeks on Wednesday, and our next appointment is February 23! We should be able to hear the heartbeat with a doppler device when we go. I'm still not showing yet, but we are taking tummy pics every week so we'll know for sure when the pregnant belly pops. Can't wait!
