Baby Mock!!!

Wow we have not been very good at this blog thing lately! I have no clue how many people read it but we are getting back in the swing of things. A lot has changed since February! We moved to a duplex the beginning of April and shortly after found out we were expecting our first child! We weren't necessarily trying but we weren't doing anything to prevent it either. I have wanted to be a mommy for so long and was elated when the tests came back positive!

I have been planning for a long time how I wanted to tell our families. We told them the weekend before Easter. We bought our mom's the Grandmother Willow Tree. Everyone was very surprised and so happy that we are going to be bringing a new little one to the family! At this point I was feeling great! I was 6 weeks along in the picture below!

At my 16 week appt they did a blood test that came back abnormal. So we had an ultrasound to check and make sure everything was okay. It was perfectly fine! I was just not as far along as my doctor thought I was. I was only 14 weeks! It was God's way of letting us see our little one sooner than we thought. It was breathtaking to see him/her moving around and hear his/her heart beat! After seeing him/her this time we were anxiously awaiting our next ultrasound appt when we would find out if we were having a boy or girl! Below is our first picture of our precious baby!

Around 10 weeks I really started feeling sick. And I was sick all day long. It wasn't very much fun but I knew it was totally worth it. Thankfully around 19 weeks it just went away one day! It was so much fun when my belly finally started to look like there was a baby in there! Below I am at 17 weeks!

Kyle is a huge Red Sox fan and when I started dating him I became one too! We knew that no matter if the baby was a boy or a girl, there was not doubt that he/she would be a Red Sox fan! I was so excited to get this shirt and proudly support our team! And show off my bump! It felt good to go out to eat again and enjoy what I was eating since I wasn't sick anymore. Below we are waiting to eat at Red Lobster at 21 weeks!

At my 22 week appt we had our second ultrasound. We were hopefully going to find out today if we were going to have a boy or girl. Again I was amazed at the little life that was growing inside me. This is one of my favorite pictures! Such a tiny little footprint!

Of course I thought it would be wonderful to have a little girl but it really didn't matter what God blessed us with first. The ultrasound tech started our appt and the first thing she did was determine the sex of the baby. Tears instantly came when she told us that we were having a little girl! My mind rolled with thoughts of what life would be like with my precious daughter! We already knew what we wanted to name the baby whether it was a boy or girl.

We can't wait for Addison Lane to join our family around December 14!

Over Labor Day weekend we took one last getaway before Addison gets here. We went up to Saugatuck, MI and had the most wonderful, relaxing weekend. It was the best Babymoon we could have planned! Below I am getting quite round at 25 weeks!

I decided that I am going to make a conscious effort to keep up with this blog. I want to keep things documented because I know that I will start to forget as life gets even busier in the next few months. So for those of you that still take a look at what's going on in our life, I hope you enjoy!
