As of today, we are 15 weeks along! The picture above that you see is from our most recent 13wk ultrasound. At first, baby was so relaxed and cozy that he/she wouldn't move at all. The ultrasound tech pushed on my abdomen a little and that's when baby really started moving and a grooving! Here is our favorite photo from the day. The crazy thing is that only 5 weeks earlier, baby was just the size of a little bean.
When I saw baby on the screen I couldn't help but tear up! I was holding Jon's hand next to me and we just stared at the screen in awe of this baby that will be pieces of us. It was truly incredible. My heart, at that moment, walked out of my chest and into the screen with that little one and immediately I felt so much love for the life growing inside me. We won't get to know, for sure, the gender until week 20 ultrasound. But one of the shots of the day did allow the ultrasound tech to take a guess. She said it was a 90% guess. We are thrilled she at least tried to find out, and we can't wait to have it confirmed at next ultrasound. That is when we will let everyone know! Oh, and that ultrasound day will be on December 20th. So MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US!! ; )
This journey started out with a lot of excitement, followed by tons of nauseousness and fatigue, and then my belly started to take on a life of its own, and brings us to today where I am feeling good and continuously excited as baby grows bigger. And no matter the symptoms, I would do all of this for the joy of having a healthy, happy baby at the end of this journey. Jon has been amazing through all of this so far as well. I mean, I experience the changes but so does he in his own way!! He is wonderful and I am reminded over and over how blessed I am to live life alongside him. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for our little family and I am excited for all the fun family traditions and memories we will have and make, and journeys we will take, just the three of us.
We will definitely keep you posted on the blog of how life is progressing around here!! Thanks for celebrating with us during this wonderful season!!
All our LOVE!
Jon, Michelle and Baby Wren
