First taste

We have gotten about 12 inches of snow in the past 24 hours. This is Violet's first play out in the snow winter and needless to say she loves it! (although I think she might have more fun if Badger were here)

18 weeks

Every since I went in for my 16 week appointment I have been waiting to feel movement from this little baby inside me. Finally, two days ago I did! I actually think I started to feel flutters about a week ago but Thursday night I felt movement for sure. So last night I had Leif put his hand on my belly, to show him how much it has grown, and the baby started wiggling around like crazy, it was awesome!

The Beat of a Heart

Leif and I made our monthly trip to the doctor's yesterday. This trip was pretty exciting because we got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time, it was amazing. Slowly but surely the whole idea of carrying around a little person inside me is sinking in. This definitely made it more real than it has been. 144 beats per minute.
