Daddy Got to Feel You!

Well on May 16th you were moving around a lot! I could feel you from the outside and told your Daddy to hurry up and come over and try to feel you too. After a minute or two you started making your presence known and gave Daddy a nice strong fist pump or kick! He loved it!!!!!! He kept smiling. You move a lot when you hear his voice. I love that you are already recognizing him. It is truly amazing! We both love you so much already and can't wait to hold you!!!!!!!

20 Weeks!

Well, we are halfway there my little one! I can't believe it. I am so excited to hold you and see your sweet little face. Here is what I looked like with you at this time:


You are moving around so much lately. It is amazing. And an awesome thing happened while I was laying in bed tonight...I felt you kick from the outside!!! This was the first time! I really hope your Daddy can feel you kick soon too. I know he will  love it. Even right now I can feel you moving your arms and legs inside my tummy. And I can't help but smile while you do it. I thank the Lord every day for giving you to us. You were prayed for before you were even created. And every day and night I pray for you. Not just for while you are in the womb but also that we will be good parents that raise you the way the Lord wants. The verse that always comes to mind when I think of you is 1 Samuel 1:27 "For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:" We want to raise you to love the Lord and want to live for Him. It is truly a joy to live for Him! You will see! I love you, Little Duck. More than you can possibly imagine.

Heard Your Heartbeat!

I got to hear your heart beating so quickly for the first time on February 29th...Leap Day! I was 10 weeks along that day. I was so excited I asked the nurse if I could go get your Dad from the waiting room so he could hear it too. When he heard it we both just smiled. It was amazing! It was the first time I truly realized you were there inside of me!

I'm Going to be a Mom!

Wow! I can't believe I am going to be a Mom! You were a wonderful early birthday present for me! I found out you were joining our family on Sunday, January 29th. I was really tired that day and stayed home from church. While your Dad was gone, I took a test and sure enough it was positive!

I was in shock! When your Dad came home, I couldn't even tell him, I just handed him the test. He couldn't stop smiling!! I was going to see your aunt, uncles, and cousins that weekend so I decided to tell them then. They were all excited as well!!! Right from the beginning you have been loved so much!

18 Weeks

We got to see you for the first time today, April 25th!!!! You are so cute already!

You are quite the little gymnast in there. You kept rolling over and crossing your legs. You didn't really want to sit still for pictures. That you get from your Dad. You also struck a pose for us flexing your little biceps. That is also so much like your Dad.

It was amazing to see you moving around and being so energetic. I couldn't stop smiling! When I saw you on the ultrasound for the first time a line from a song came to mind, "All at once everything looks different. Now that I see you." You already amaze me and I am so proud and honored to be your mother.

19 weeks

Well Little Duck, we are almost half way through this pregnancy! Even now I can feel you moving around inside of me. I never tire of it. It feels strange but exciting at the same time knowing you are growing. Your Daddy and I can't wait to meet you! Daddy wanted to be surprised so I have no idea if I am writing to my son or my daughter right now. But it doesn't even matter because I already love you so much! That is also why we decided to call you Little Duck. Your Daddy loved Darkwing Duck when he was younger (don't worry, he will introduce you to it.) He is called that by some of his friends. And since he is your father, we thought Little Duck would be perfect. Your grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins can't wait to meet you also. They are all anxiously awaiting your arrival in September. You are already so loved by your family and have been since the day we found out you were coming. You must be growing because I know I am! Here I am with you at 19 weeks.
