13 Weeks

Baby H,

It's been 13 weeks since you set up shop in my belly. You are 3-4 inches long and the size of a peach. You are hard at work growing your own little fingerprints and tiny bones.

You might also be sucking your thumb by now. My guess is that you are because I was a big thumb sucker myself. Our next appointment is on the 18th and we are counting the days. I sure wish they could tell us then whether you are a little boy or girl in there, but I am told I will have to wait a few more weeks.  I can't wait to see how much you have grown and hear your heart beating again!

Love,
Mom

In a matter of weeks...

The past few weeks have flown by and LOTS has been happening. We went to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho for 4 days because Michael had a work convention to attend. I was excited about the time off work to relax, but I wasn't quite sure how Idaho would be for a vacation. Boy, did I miss judge Coeur d'Alene. It was absolutely beautiful and the weather was an amazing break from the 100 degree heat Texas had while we were gone. Here are a few shots I took on my phone from our room, the pool and the spa where I spent my time relaxing on our trip while Michael was working. ahem, I mean golfing :)

About a month ago we started seriously talking about selling Home 101 and moving to another area for lots of different reasons. We listed the house with the agreement that we wouldn't sell unless we got a good solid offer. Two days after we returned from Coeur d'Alene we received exactly that. WE SOLD OUR HOUSE. Well technically we don't close and have to be out until August 9th, but basically WE SOLD OUR HOUSE. We have been hunting for the past week and made an offer! We found out this morning that the seller accepted and we are in contract for our new home in Fort Worth, pending our inspection on Tuesday of course. Very exciting stuff!

And during all this I went from being 12 weeks pregnant to almost 14 weeks pregnant. Wow. 13 Weeks post coming soon!

11 Weeks

Sweet Baby H,

It's been 11 weeks since you set up shop inside my belly. You are the size of a fig and about 1 1/2 inches long and you are almost fully formed, which is absolutely amazing to me. You are already kicking and stretching inside me. We could see you kicking on the ultrasound last week! I can't wait until I can feel you dancing around in there.








Your daddy and I are doing lots of reading so that we can be great parents. We have a lot to learn before you make your debut in January.




I also bought you a couple of books, one of which I can remember reading over and over as a child. I can't wait to read them to you.




I have been trying to eat healthier for you and even bought a juice to provide us with daily amount of fruits and veggies we need, but I have to confess I still crave cheeseburgers.








January feels like a very long time to have to wait to meet you, but until then keep growing strong!

Love, Mom
