Catch you up!

We are currently in our 5th month. I am very much enjoying the 2cnd trimester as the 1st was not my favorite, the whole "morning sickness" (aka HELL)  thing was not so fun!  And bless Matt for putting up with me! He has been SO wonderful through it all. It seems like yesterday I was in high school. Now i wake up every morning as a real live adult! And i realize that I have married and amazing man and we are starting our own family, there isn't much else that can compare to that feeling. 

Don't get me wrong, it has not been easy for either of us, the hormones have only taken over a couple times and the emotions are starting to even out a bit, it's nice to feel human again, and be able to get out and get excited about things. He had it pretty rough in the beginning too!!! He pretty much had to take care of the house and me, I wasn't even holding water down, so he had his work cut out for him. Really I am just bragging on his patience through it all, and those couple or hormone episodes... well... we just pretend those didn't happen! :) 

All in all it is great to be in trimester 2 and to be moving along in the process. It is so great to visit the Dr and learn new things about our little Baby Bean! The first time we heard the heart beat it was pretty surreal and pretty darn amazing! We have only had two sonograms so far,  and i have to scan the other to get it on here... so i will do my best.

Now for a a really exciting part. On Sat. 1/12/08 Matt felt his baby move for the very first time! That was a huge moment, it makes things tangible for him and it helps me be able to share with him. It warmed my heart so much when he got to feel Baby Bean move, it was like she/he was dong it just for him to say "hi dad i am in here and moving just so you can feel me!" It is great to feel Baby Bean move! It is by far my favorite part!!!! I wish i could feel her/him every second of everyday, SO AMAZING! Once i  started to feel Baby Bean move it was like my mind  took off on its own. I wonder what she/he will look like, what is she/he thinking right now? I hope my womb is comfy! So many thoughts go through your head. Also the thoughts of Oh my goodness the room, the money, the responsibility... JUST CRAZY!  At the end of each day as i lay down i just hold my belly and talk to Baby Bean, just about the day and things going on, we listen to music together and I just lay there and hope Baby Bean enjoys it! It is so interesting to walk around knowing that i am never alone... I have a little person inside me just hanging out keeping my heart company. I really do enjoy that feeling! 

On Monday February 4, 2008 we will find out what our lil Baby Bean is, boy or girl!? And well it is a big day for us as Matt thinks girl, i think boy. But no matter it will be wonderful and well it will help us settle our friendly little bet! :)  I will try to keep up to date on this as much as I can and Matt will be making additions as well from a Dad point of view. So till next time....
