Ahh, how quickly the time flies! Yesterday, we happened to look at the date and it hit us - our son is due in exactly 3 months. Oh my! In so many ways, it still seems surreal that we're parents, and in other ways it seems like it has always been this way. We are so blessed to be able to have biological children, and to be given the privilege of raising a son we know is God's own. What a humbling responsibility - God is entrusting us with His own unique creation to love and raise. Baby H is kicking around more now. Though Poncho hasn't been able to feel the baby kick yet, he has gotten to see my belly jump as his son kicks around. I'm looking forward to him feeling his son kick and knowing that's what it is, but I also know that there will come a time when I'll wish my son would settle down!! I know that the aches and inconveniences will all be worth it when I hold this beautiful baby in my arms :)

Baby Belly and More

Tomorrow will mark 21 weeks! I can't believe we're that far along. The belly is growing, and I'm craving sugar! AHH! Trying to keep that under control so the growth is baby-related and not sugar-related! Enjoy some belly pics.

Baby Flutters

One of the coolest things I've experienced in m pregnancy so far is the "flutters" - little movements my little one is making. I can't feel his movement consistently, or very strongly, most likely because he is still too little. Poncho can't feel him move yet, even though he wishes he could! Once he grows a bit, I will probably wish he'd stop moving so much and let me sleep! For now though, it makes me smile that baby is healthy, growing, and moving.

It's a Bouncing Baby Boy!!

Oh boy! I know we have an adventure in store! I spend a lot of time with girls in the classroom, and have spent lots of time with my 3 nieces as they are growing up, so I "get" girls. No problem. Boys? They mystify me a bit! I have 3 nephews that I love dearly and have spent time with, but they're still a bit of a mystery. God has a great plan in store, I'm sure... especially if this baby boy is anything like his daddy! I'm looking forward to raising my own little man to be a wonderful man of God, and eventually an amazing husband and father :)

What will Baby H be?

We find out Baby H's gender tomorrow afternoon! More pics to come!

We're Pregnant!

So... that happened! I found out on Christmas Eve just before performing in our service at church, and told Poncho on Christmas Day. I am exactly 19 weeks along (4 months and 1 week) - almost half way done! We find out on Tuesday 4/3 whether we'll be having a girl or a boy, assuming Baby H cooperates. Which, if he/she is anything like his/her parents, he/she won't! It's still pretty surreal - despite my growing belly, it still hasn't really hit us that we are already a family of 3. I think it might become more real once the baby starts to kick and move so that we can feel it. Pictures of my belly coming soon!
