Sweet moments with BIG SIS

I was sharing with Eden that mama had a baby in her belly. I was laying on the floor with my knees up and Eden squeezed between my knees and laid on my belly.

Me: (Hand on belly) "Mama has a baby in her belly"
Eden: Pats gently and lays on it and says "awwww... baby" lifted her head and laid back down and repeated this 5-6 more times <3 so soft and so sweet!
Me: laid back watching my sweet little girl embrace our new baby!

She is very excited for you to come too. She is going to be a great big sister!

The sweet beat of your heart

On January 15th your whole family heard your little heart beat. Its so hard to believe you are 10weeks along and you have a beautiful beating heart. We were so happy to hear it and Eden came with us and was a little fussy until we said "shhhh listen, its babies heart" She sat quietly and listened and then gave a gentle smile. I think she understands a lot more then we think she does and she is very excited about you coming. I had to return to the Dr. two days later and got to hear that sweet little beat again. I could listen to it forever. I am so excited to have you join our family.

3 Cheers for 2 Lines

On December 5th we found out the exciting news that we were expecting you. I had some suspicions that you were coming but I hadn't mentioned it to your dad. I bought a pregnancy test while I was out and I couldn't wait until the morning to take it.  I was up all night.. and by 3am I couldn't wait any longer and my suspicions were true. I got the double line! HOORAY!!

When I got back to bed daddy asked if I was okay and I shared the news. He was excited too. He even got a little misty eyed. (No surprise there) :) He's a sensitive guy. :)

I assumed I was about 4 weeks along at that point, which means that you were the size of a poppy seed!

Blueberry Surprise!

You are about 8wks along and the size of a blueberry. We decided while we had family staying with us, that we would share our exciting news in person. They were all very excited!!! My family received texts and Daddy's family was told in person on December 27th. They were all very excited for us and Eden helped share the news. I'll post pictures of her announcing with a "BIG SIS" shirt later. We are very excited for you and we can't wait to meet you.
