17, 18, 19...

We've made it to 19 weeks! Cuh-razy! And guess what that means... ULTRASOUND ON TUESDAY!!!! Ohhh my goodness. Can't even wait to find out if it's a boy or girl in there. I'm way too curious to wait until I have the baby...! {You're welcome to place your votes on the side column ;)}

We already have names picked out & have a few solid ideas on how to decorate the room... now we're just eagerly awaiting which route to take!!

I've been feeling healthy as pie and am loving being pregnant! Life is pretty much the same over here, except for my ever-growing baby bump. I do sleepwalk to the bathroom at least 2 or 3 times each night... {no idea how I have to go THAT often...}

I THINK I'VE FELT THE BABY KICK!!!!!!!!! I'm 99% sure that's what those soft little pillow-like twitches in my abdomen are... I LOVE IT!

One thing I love is that whenever I talk to people who already have kids, they alllll say, "It is so worth it!" ...followed by a few seconds of them just searching for the right words to adequately express how wonderful it is to be a parent. I love it. I am SO excited to join the club and experience those same speechless, heartfelt feelings.

I have no idea what to expect... so I'm expecting it to be harder than I think it will be, but also so much greater than I think it will be. I'm already so in love with this little kid & feel honored to get to be his/her mama :)

Oh, and my favorite moments are still when Nick rubs or kisses or whispers something to my tummy. It is the sweetest thing ever. I can't get over how cute he already is to our baby!

Okay. Belly-shot time:

Looking so cute!!! When people ask me how I like being a new mom, i always tell them "It's SO much easier and harder than I though." So good thing your thinking that way already, because it's so true! It's TOTALLY worth it :) Have fun at your ultrasound!

Love this.
Can I use the paragraph that starts with "One thing that I love is..." for my young womens lesson? It's perfect. I'm also super excited to hear the names and decorating ideas you have!

I was just thinking that we haven't done anything with you guys since the Halloween party! We should change that.
