I had my son!

I had a beautiful baby boy on March the 4th. He's a wonderful, adorable, sweet baby and we love him very much.

Here's a few pictures of our sweet baby...

I haven't blogged in awhile...

Lots have happened since I last posted. My father passed away suddenly on Thanksgiving. I unfortunately didn't get to know him as well I as I wish I would have but grateful for the year and a half that I did. He was a great guy and will be missed.
Then the Monday after my dad was buried I ended up having to put to sleep my 12 year old cat Lauren and bury her. Being pregnant right now it was a lot to take in a short time.
I miss them both very much :(
I had to see the specialist that Wednesday after my father was buried and my blood pressure was understandably high. Thankfully I went this past week and it was normal. It's amazing what stress will do!

Changes

In a few months our lives are gonna change in a big way. We are going from married 10 years with 7 cats...no children to...married 10 years 7 cats  (maybe 6 as one is sick...my oldest Lauren) and one child.

My biggest prayer is that this child will strengthen our marriage. I know once you have children your marriage dynamics change and you can't forget that you are not just parents but are married and committed to one another.

I love my husband and after God he comes in second then my child after that. I love both of them but one day my child will leave and start a family of his own and if my husband and I keep our relationship on a solid foundation we will be stronger for it after our son leaves to start his own life.

So I look forward to the life changes God will bring. I never expected this particular change at this point in my life but welcome it with open arms.

BTW, Connor Ethan I can't wait to see you face to face.

Half way through…

It’s hard to believe I’m about half way through this pregnancy. Last week we found out we’re having a boy! I can’t wait to meet him face to face. My little miracle still doesn’t have a name chosen yet but we’re working on it.

 

Here’s a few photo’s from Baby boy W’s last ultrasound…

My poor hubby

He was working on some shelves and while cutting a piece of wood it ended up hitting him and leaving him with a nasty bruise :(.

Testing my new mobile app.

I don't blog all that often but I thought I might do it more often if I had an app for my phone. We shall see ;)

14 almost 15 weeks…

It’s hard to believe that were getting close to the halfway point in my pregnancy. I’m still in awe over our little miracle. I can now relax a little now that I’m in my 2nd trimester. I’ll admit I was quite fearful that when I finally got to my 2nd appointment with my doctor I'd find out that I had a silent miscarriage but thankfully that didn’t happen.

So yeah I’m a bit paranoid with this pregnancy but considering I’ve been married to my sweet husband for 10 years and 8 of those 10 we never used anything to prevent pregnancy this pregnancy is such a blessing…something I didn’t remotely think was possible.

Anyway…

I went to the doctor today and everything looks great! I do have to see a specialist in a few days but not too worried. I got to see the baby again because they couldn’t get the heartbeat to show up on the Doppler. At first I though my worst fear came true but after they got my little guy or gal to show up on the sonogram and I saw him/her move and that little heartbeat going strong I knew everything was ok.

Baby W.

So now I’m looking forward to buying a few things for the baby! I probably won’t have to buy too much as I’ll probably have a few baby showers but still I definitely want to get a baby book soon and at least a cute outfit once we find out what were having that is ;) .

Well I’ll leave the update there for now… ‘til next time…
