13 weeks!

we were pretty excited about our first doctor's appointment yesterday. we heard the heartbeat and got to see its cute little alien head. it was moving its arms and legs all around, being very active.
it's funny that it hasn't seemed real until now, because i can't feel anything in there. but seeing it move all around was pretty cool. fredgie was in awe, and later admitted he was a little emotional about seeing it.
creating life is an amazing thing. we are so grateful to have this blessing in our life.

we were kinda having the feeling that we were having twins, and i thought that might be a strong possibility since my belly started poking out way early...turns out i have no excuse, there's only one nugget in there. look at that belly though! sheesh...already out there at 13 weeks!

this is van being the "baby model" for my new blanket that my very cute sister-in-law made me (my brother's wife). besides it being the cutest blanket ever, it's the only "baby" thing i have around the house, so i love it even more because it gets me more excited for this little one to get here! thanks again mary! (don't forget to tell michael how lucky he is:)
