10 Weeks

I've really failed to blog lately, partly because I'm not good at keeping secrets and partly because of that one thing called morning sickness which really lasts ALL day! But all is well, I'm BACK :)  As most of you know we are expecting!! I am finally pregnant and we are thrilled! We finally got our positive test on Dec 22nd and surprised our families with this cute picture! 

My mom didn't believe it, she told us later that she'd been tricked too many times already! Sorry mom, for doing things like saying I was grateful for the bump in my belly on Thanksgiving and not being pregnant yet, and I'll apologize for Mo who tricked you countless times about it! Especially the first few times that made you cry! 

Brett's mom called us as soon as she got the picture and just asked us over and over what it meant, "is that a little hat? The picture is blurry, tell me what it is!"Haha both our families were really excited and happy for us!  It was the best Christmas present❤ 

It's been a long wait for our first real appointment where we got to hear the little heart beat! I was so excited and scared but I didn't think much of it because in my mind, our precious little one probably still looked like a developing sea monkey! I told Brett we'd get to hear the heartbeat, not expecting much but when the Dr. Brought out the little camera he showed us our baby. It was a baby! at just 10 weeks it was a beautiful, tiny baby! With tiny little feet and toes, with tiny little hands and fingers, a baby with a cute little bum and a heartbeat! The baby just kept jumping up and down, so excited that we finally got to see him/her! It was such a beautiful and spiritual experience for us, because seeing that little body moving inside my tummy, made me feel Heavenly Fathers love for me and this new baby who chose to come down to our little family! It was a tiny little spirit, and it's been there since conception, growing! It was beautiful and I couldn't believe people who take special little souls away from this earth saying they're only tissue! It made me a protective little mom to the babies who will come to our family! It helped me understand and feel the love of our Savior for those beautiful little children! Blessed are the little children, and I will do everything in my power to be an example and good mommy to our first baby! We can't wait to meet this cutie!  We're 11 weeks along and I'm starting to feel normal again, it's wonderful!  I've been writing little notes every week! Enjoy❤
