Why, hello!

I did not include this story last night, because I was extremely tired. However, I did want to share this news with everyone -
I felt the baby move for the first time the other day! It was Father's Day. I was lying in bed, after just waking up. I was thinking of all the things that I needed to do before church. Then, there it was, I felt this little bubbly affect from the lower left part of my belly. It was almost as if my stomach was coughing. I know that I will know for sure, once the baby gets bigger whether that was it, or not. Until then, I am happy believing that it was the baby.
I have also began writing a journal of these types firsts, purchases, and OB experiences for our child. I am printing them out on cardstock and placing them in a baby scrapbook. I hope that this is something that our children will treasure forever!
As I said in an earlier blog. We have our 3D sonogram on the 12th of July. This is, of course, elective. Our OB prefers to wait until 20 weeks to confirm the gender to make sure that it's certain. Due to my work schedule, we would not find out until 22 weeks. Given that I am impatient, I have scheduled an appointment with the 3D sono center at 18 weeks. We will have the 3D experience and the gender determination that we are wanting. Everyone wins!
I will not wait so long to blog after that appointment! :)

"Bump-dates"

One of the greatest signs of a healthy baby is the healthy grow of a baby bump...or, so I've heard! :) I will be adding to this each month.

8 months

7 months

This was during the time that I had lost our camera - 5 1/2 months (22 weeks)

4 months

3 months

2 months - I know, I didn't keep the same pose, but you get the idea.
3lbs added from the previous picture, lol.

1 month - just after we had found out that we were expecting

Baby Talk

As of today, I am currently 4 months along. Oh, how time flies! Thus far, 'pre-motherhood' has been such a blessing. Being the first to know our child and to take care of it is joyous and overwhelming, at the same time. I have been extremely lucky, in regards to sickness, and I have never felt healthier. I know that this is directly due to the prayers of our friends and family. Thank you to all of you!


Here are pictures of our little miracle:




8 weeks sonogram - our little Teddy Graham!

12 week sonogram


***On July the 12th we go in for a 3D sonogram. Hopefully, we will be able to find out if we are having a boy or a girl.
