Mother's Day

Byron surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers to celebrate my first Mother's Day!  It was so sweet and unexpected!

I was 21 weeks at the time, here is another belly picture (not the best quality since it was taken on my phone!):

Baby Healy's Heartbeat - 5/17/12

Here is Baby Healy's heartbeat at 22 weeks.  He continues to sit very low and is becoming more active everyday!  I found a new doctor down here in the Nashville area that I really like and am thankful for the smooth transition to working with someone new at this point.  We are enjoying settling into our new home and soon we will begin decorating the nursery!!

It's a Boy!!

We had our ultrasound on 4/23/12 and found out that we are having a son!  The little guy was showing off and definitely wanted us to know that he is a boy!  Here are the first pictures we have of our little miracle:

I was just shy of 19 weeks at the ultrasound.  Here are some belly pictures:

Here is the heartbeat on the same day:

Feeling baby move!

I thought I felt the baby move for the first time a little bit a couple weeks ago, though it was pretty hard to tell for sure.  Tonight I am pretty certain I felt baby movement!  It is really cool to start feeling the baby move, it makes it feel even more real that there is a little person in there!! :)

Baby Healy's Heartbeat - 3/20/12

Baby was a lot more active this doctor's visit!  All the feedback on the recording is due to the baby moving around so much!!  I think we may be in for a very active child! :-)

Baby Healy's Heartbeat!!!

I had my first doctor's appointment today and it was so amazing to finally hear the baby's heartbeat!  It's so exciting to hear this first indication of the tiny little person growing inside me!!  And I was actually able to capture it in a recording to share with all of you...

Maternity photo shoot

I am really excited to be starting my maternity photo shoot with the amazing Paul Ruffolo Photography tomorrow!!  It may sound strange to be doing a photo shoot so early, though Paul shared an amazing photo idea with me that I'm extremely excited about!  We are taking weekly pictures and then he will put them together in a collage-type picture at the end to show the progression of the pregnancy.  It will be interesting to see what changes there will be from week to week.  I can't believe I am already starting to have a little bit of a baby belly, though you probably wouldn't be able to tell if you didn't know I'm pregnant!  :)
