It just gets better and better

So tomorrow I will be officially 14 weeks;) This is such a good place to be! The chances of anything bad happening is significantly lower now;) Which is such a relief!!! I had my 4th appointment today. They were just going to listen to the heart beat but since Tim wasn't at the last appointment they were nice and did an ultrasound too;) The ultrasound machine was one of the portable ones and it had a black line through the picture and she didn't get the best pics but here they are... kinda hard to read.

Anyways the baby looked wonderful!!! It's so much bigger than it was just a few weeks ago!! She had to show us the head and body and then move to show us the little legs;) They wouldn't all fit in the little screen. 

I didn't think it got any better than hearing the heartbeat and seeing the baby but it does!!! The little cheeto was waving it's hands and arms around and kicking and hiccuping.... OMG I seriously almost died it was soooo coool. Tim and I had ear to ear smiles watching our baby move. It was so comforting to see the baby active and the heart beat strong at 150 bpm. I can't even begin to describe the feeling. It is the most joyous thing I have ever experienced in my life. It is all I dreamed of and so much more. It's getting more and more real and I can't wait for all the exciting milestones ahead.  We will find out the gender in about 6 weeks and I can't wait!!! I have been wanting to nest soooo bad, but I am trying to wait till I know the sex of the baby. 

As for how I am feeling, I have been getting some energy back and my appetite is a lot better. I have been eating smaller meals more often about every 2-3 hours. I have a little "bump" now even if it is just my insides getting pushed up;) LOL

Here is a pic at 13 weeks

 We are planning to visit Utah in April so I can spend some time with my Mom. I have been really wanting to share this experience with her. I really look forward to going shopping with her and take some notes. I am going to ask her to teach me whatever she can in a week to help me be a good mom. 

We are going to have a shower too I think so I can see all my family and friends to celebrate. 

This is the first grand baby for both mine and Tim's families so it's very exciting and I can't wait for them to spoil our little one;)  Family really does bring the most joy in life. I am so so so stoked to be starting my own (finally) with the love of my life, he is already the best dad ever. 

 Can I ask a favor though??? I have a few very close friends and a little sister that are struggling and battling with infertility. Please pray for them like I do that their little ones will come to them soon and their hearts can be comforted when things don't go as planned. Please pray that the Lord will be with them through their trials. I still remember the painful stings of infertility and my heart breaks for those still wading through the mud. It was the hardest thing I ever went through. 

Thanks for reading all about my journey everyone;) Thanks for caring enough to stop by!
