Long time, no blog!

Life has been so crazy lately, which has made time go by very quickly. BUT...here is what has been keeping a smile on my face...

This is our little ginger baby waving at us! Our appointment was amazing last week. We went in completely terrified, but everything went just fine. The baby was waving it's little arm around and kicking it's feet like crazy. And the heart beat looked so amazing. David was so excited to see his baby for the first time, and I was thrilled to see that the little one is healthy!
Then the very next week we went back for my normal, scheduled prenatal appointment. We heard the heart beat for the first time. I could have stayed there listening to it all day! The proud Oma was with us and used her charm to get our doc to do another ultrasound. The pictures from this ultrasound didn't turn out as perfect...but here's my favorite :)





I must say, our baby is very friendly. That thing that looks like a chubby little arm and nubbins for fingers...well, that's exactly what it is! I can't wait to hold that little hand. It was amazing to see how much the baby had grown in one week. The legs were no longer just little stumps, they were actually really long! And as soon as the little one realized we were watching, it began jumping around and putting on a show. Oh how I love my baby...

And more good news...we are almost finished with the first trimester! This is a huge relief. It's also nice to not feel quite so sick :)

April 6th cannot get here soon enough!
