Baby bump

OK, so I've officially "popped". My little baby bump (my lovely lady lump) is definately prominent now! I find myself setting my hand on my belly all of the time now (I always wondered why pregnant women did that). It's calming. I rub and pat the baby without even realizing it. I cannot wait to feel the baby move! I've read that it can happen anytime now (hope I don't just confuse it with gas).

Facials and other girly stuff

Doug got me a facial a few weeks ago and now that I'm "with child" they couldn't do all the deep digging required. But she was a great little sales lady and talked me into some organic skin care that would help. I got home and was a little mad at myself for being quite so guilable. Again. Why do they always get me? But I had it, so I've been using it and I have to say that I LOVE IT! It is called "ilike" and it is the best stuff I have ever used. With teeney, little bottles of moisturizer, face cleanser and exfoliating cream (that she promised will last 6 months plus)and just a matter of a few weeks - I can see real improvement! Go get some!

an amazing day

Yesterday I experienced the most amazing thing up to this point in my life. As I laid on a table with something stuck in me (apparently I have a "tilted uterus" and the belly ultrasound wouldn't work), anyway back to my story, I lay there as this wonderful woman showed Doug and I our little "gummy bear" on the screen and let us listen to his/her heartbeat. I heard Doug whisper "Yes" and I thought, "My thoughts exactly!". Yes. This is what we've been living for and this wonderful moment is what got me to this point in my life without giving up :). I do have to say I'm a little scared. If we can feel so much for a fuzzy little blob on a screen, what in the world will happen when we actually hold our baby? Will our hearts just explode?
