Eight Weeks!

Whoa Baby! 8 weeks! :)

Brock & I had the day off on Monday, our doctor appointment day, so we enjoyed eachothers company! First we went to Starlit Cafe in Marietta and he ate his little heart out & I tried my best! What I did have was really good though! Then we went to Miss Mamie's for my favorite margarita cupcake. Couldn't eat that either but it sure did look good :)

We got to the hospital an hour early but we were both so anxious we went in and signed me in so that if something opened up we could go straight back and see our baby. Sure enough, maybe 15 minutes later they called me back and put me straight in the ultrasound room! I was starting to shake I was so anxious. I was terrified. Of everything, not seeing anything at all, not measuring right, now heartbeat. Any irrational fear, I had it. But, Brock & I barely had time to focus on the monitor when our little one popped up! So clear! Our little gummy :) However, I was amazed to see little features. It's head, and butt and little arm and leg buds were all clearly visible. I measured right at 8 weeks, only 2 days off from what I was supposed to be and she said that was great.

Then it was time for the little heartbeat! Brock and I got our phones ready and it came across so clear and strong. I have a video and all I keep saying is that "it's so fast!" and it was! I listen to it every chance I get now. I was laughing, I was crying. Brock had the biggest grin on his face. I was in love! In love with my amazing husband who was so excited to see what we made together, and in love with this tee-tiny little being that is inside me! I knew I was pregnant, I felt pregnant, but seeing it. Wow. It hit me so hard, I am a mommy!

Needless to say we are one happy Mommy & Daddy! As far as the pregnancy goes, still super sick! Got a little belly going, but it's probably a thousand other things and not an actual "bump." Brock is still fantastic, he loves taking care of me. Can't wait to see him with the baby. We have talked about some names. We have a boy name nailed down. We both love Hunter Brock. Girl names are another story. We have three options. We love Tatum Kate, Avery Rose, and then Madison but we can't think of a middle name for Madison so we are stuck! I just want to be able to call him or her something as soon as we know boy or girl!

So, thats where we are right now! Very excited! Fall is coming up, our baby is growing and safe and we are so in love with our life and eachother!
Till next time!
