Baby, baby!

After a full week of ogling over my new niece Holly, I am officially beside myself with excitement at the idea of having my own little bundle of joy in less than 6 months! I can't believe how fast the time has already been flying by...15 weeks of pregnancy doesn't sound like a long time, but when you consider that 20 weeks is halfway, we're really cruisin'! Before I know it I'll be able to wear all the maternity clothes that I've accumulated, which strangely enough, I'm really looking forward to! It's funny to think that in a few months time, these clothes that look like they shouldn't be in my closet are going to fit perfectly! Well, at least I hope they fit perfectly...I guess you never know where you're gonna grow until you grow! Just the last few days I've been feeling like I look a little bit pregnant now. Maybe it's just my imagination (or more likely my anticipation), but I think there may be a little baby bump emerging Ü

"Showing" is the moment that Matt and I have both been waiting for. To not only show the one's who love us and care about us our progress, but the pride that we will take in showing the world what we have made. I hope that this will be the time where Matt can feel more involved. It will bring something tangible, something to say "My wife is pregnant!" without having to say it. Up until this point I feel like it's been all about me. How I'm feeling, how I'm dealing, what I can and cannot eat. I'm the only one that knows all the strange new things that are happening because our baby is growing. The little things that remind me everyday that I am pregnant. Matt hasn't had the joy of experiencing any of this. He is merely there for me, and experiencing pregnancy through me like a husband can only do. I'm so excited for him to see the changes, and then to feel the tiny movements just like I will. We will be able to guess together if it's an elbow or a knee, or a head or a rump!

So far, we have made it past several pregnancy milestones. We transitioned from an embryo to a fetus! We heard our baby's heartbeat, and met for the first time via ultrasound! We have successfully made it into our second trimester! Our next much anticipated milestone?? Having our baby growing inside of me and being able to see it together Ü
