Maternity photo shoot sneak peek!

After we decided to move to Tennessee, I was disappointed that I wouldn't be able to continue my weekly photo shoots with Paul Ruffolo Photography.  As luck would have it, through a close friend of Byron's, I was connected to Leila Grossman of Grannis Photography and have been able to continue doing weekly maternity pictures down here!  Here is a sampling of some of the pictures from Weeks 20-25 of my pregnancy. 

I wasn't sure how long my belly button ring would last through pregnancy; I finally took it out at 25 weeks... it was definitely time to remove it and let the piercing heal up! 

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...
