A Glimpse of The Little One

Our Little One

During the 20 week ultrasound, we were able to see our baby's profile, hands, feet, legs, toes, four heart valves pumping and of course a lot of movement. The best was when the little legs started pumping as if the baby was riding a bicycle or climbing stairs and I could feel each little kick on my bladder as each tiny movement was made. It was beyond amazing and so exciting! Oh, and we have chosen not to find out the gender, so we will all be equally surprised!

The house has a scattering of baby things throughout it. The dryer is full of little footed pajamas and onesies borrowed from a friend. The spare room is home to a stroller, baby swing and several other large items either given to us second hand or lent to us by friends.

I'm working on a crochet blanket in bright colors. It is fun to finally be working on a project that is for our own baby. It's in gender neutral, bright kid colors, no green and yellow pastels! I already had a cream blanket made, so I wanted this one to stand out. There is a neat story about the cream blanket. While I was making it, several friends asked me who I was making a blanket for this time, and my answer was "for whoever has a baby next." I sure didn't know at that time that I would be saving it for our own baby!

The baby kicks all the time now, especially during computer time or while sitting down after eating. It is such an incredible, amazing and beautiful feeling to have a little baby inside kicking me and making themselves known so clearly.

I want to thank all our friends and family for their prayers so far.
