2nd doctor's appt.

So today (Dec.9th) was my 2nd baby doctor's appt. It went well. I have come to learn that you get to hear the heartbeat every appointment, and this was my first time hearing it. It was just as fun as I thought it was going to be. It was fast, so assume what you wish, but I'm not going to fall for any old wives tales just yet. :) I could only hear the heartbeat for a few seconds cause he/she was moving around and kicking up a storm. The kicking is louder than the heartbeat, so it was short-lived, yet still exciting! All seems just fine so far. I also turned down the tests for down syndrome and such other disorders because I feel that there is nothing I can do about it now, and if God wants me to have a baby with such disorders, then so be it. I'm just stoked that I am able to have a baby! This is such a blessing and miracle that I'm in awe every appt and I want to share it with everyone, even though I know I'm not the first woman to be pregnant. :) Anyway only about 6 more weeks until I found out what it is!!!!

Dec. 6th trip down south

So this past weekend was my nephew's (Connor) first birthday party. It was held at my mom's house in Arcadia, which was the perfect location. Tracy did a great job of planning food and entertainment for the party. Some of my family and friends were there, and it went off without a hitch! I decided to stay the weekend and go out with some friends that sat night. I went out with Alex, Helen and Candace and had a blast there too. Then to top the whole weekend off, I wake up the next morning and Steve (my stepdad) made my sister and I some yummy breakfast! It was a great weekend with family and friends and I'm going to enjoy those becuase its going to be a lot harder to go down for a weekend with a new baby.
