12 Weeks and Doctor Update!!!

Wow...here we are at 12 weeks! I will officially be in my second trimester at the end of this week. I keep getting bigger every week! We are finally moved into our brand new home and we are loving every minute of it. I just cannot wait to get the baby's nursery all set up and ready to go when this little one arrives. Time keeps flying by so fast. At times I want it to be November so that I can meet this little one, but then again I want time to slow down because these 9 months are going to go by so fast that I want to enjoy every minute of it. I have really enjoyed being pregnant so far even though I still have a long way to go. In the beginning I worried so much, afraid something was going to go wrong. My family finally made me realize that I needed to stop worrying over things I had no control over and enjoy every minute so that is what I have been doing because this time is precious and you will never get it back. I have stopped worrying so much, even though I will worry a little until I hold this little miracle in my arms. :) I think all women worry at some point in time during their pregnancy. You cannot help it. It is just natural. I am just enjoying being pregnant and I have put all my trust and faith in God that he will take care of me and this baby. I am so thankful to have a great pregnancy so far.


Anyway on with what everyone is waiting for.... here are my 12 week photos!!

My husband really noticed my belly the other day and made a comment about it. I think it was more like...."Hey there fatty!" I just laughed at him. He was just joking but if he says that to me in a couple of months he might get hurt :) He told me the other day that I look even more beautiful now. I am thankful to have a husband who tells me how beautiful he thinks I am no matter what. I am going to need that when I get huge! j/k :) I am so lucky to have him.

Yesterday we went back to the doctor and I was so excited!! Everything looks great so far and I have gained 3 pounds!! WHOO HOO!! My blood pressure is great as well. We talked to the doctor for a couple of minutes then she got the doppler out and placed it on my belly. Right away we heard the little heartbeat!! It is the best sound in the world! It is so amazing. I go back to the doctor in 5 weeks and then we go on June 30th to find out what this little one is! We can't wait!

I will leave you with this poem that my mom sent me that brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sending this to me: It is called...

MY DAUGHTER YOU WILL SEE

When you were just a baby, and I looked into your eyes,

I loved you more, my little one, than you could realize.

To hold my precious little girl, and see your little face,

I had been blessed beyond compare, with God's own loving grace.

He gave you to me, and I love you more than you could know,

A love that is so special, and all mothers know it's so.

A mother's love is endless, and will last eternity,

But children do not understand, how much love that can be.

A special love that mother's have, and only they can show,

And only when you are a mother, can you truly know.

To love so much a little one, that is a part of you,

A part of you to love and cherish, mothers know it's true.

You watch them grow, and hope that they have prospered in your care,

Because your love and understanding, constantly was there.

They never fully understand, the love that you have shown,

Until they reach a stage in life, when they are fully grown.

So now my precious daughter, as your day is drawing near,

You have so much excitement, and a little bit of fear.

Your little one is on the way, and soon it will arrive,

And when it does, I will be there, standing by your side.

I want to see your smiling face, and feel your inner glow,

When you hold your little one, and then you'll finally know,

How very much I love you, because you are part of me,

And when you hold your little one, then you will finally see.

A mother's love is special, and you'll finally understand,

When you hold the fingers, of your baby's little hand.

So precious and so delicate, and feelings that are new,

And then my precious daughter, you'll know how much I love you.

I love this poem and it brings tears to my eyes everytime I read it. I guess that is all for this week. Thank you for those who follow this blog. I really appreciate it. Love you all.
