First Moves

Well, I think I have finally decided that those weird little "pops" in my belly are our little baby moving around. Last week, I was driving to work and felt something in my belly for the first time. I called Nathan with a HUGE smile on my face to tell him, "I think I felt the baby move!" I could hear the smile on his face as he joked around with me about it trying to tell me that it was probably just my imagination. He is always, always joking around but I could tell he was soooo excited too. I hope our baby has his relaxed sense of humor. :) Since then I think I have felt the baby move three or four more times. I know that this will become more frequent in the next few weeks and I just can't wait. I am especially excited for Nathan to be able to feel the baby move although I know it will be a while before we get to that day.

In other baby news, Nathan got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time a little over a week ago at my last doctors appointment. It was so exciting to share that moment with him. Our next big milestone will be finding out the gender. We are on the countdown and only have 2 weeks and 6 days until the big day. My mom will be flying in to spend the weekend and then go to the appointment with us on Monday. Thankfully her flight is late in the afternoon on Monday so after the appointment we can do some shopping for the baby!!!

The weekend after we find out the gender I will be having my first baby shower in Oklahoma. I am really excited to see my family and friends there. From that weekend on, I feel like things are going to move in fast forward. Between 3 more baby showers (two in Texas, one in Missouri), weddings, holidays with family and working it is going to be the first of the year before we know it! I am doing my best to try and savor these next few weeks before the everything gets crazy. For everyone who knows me...savoring moments in time is just a little difficult for me. :)

Well, I guess that is all the new baby info for now. Will update you all when we get our exciting news in just a few weeks! :)
