Hey little one, today is another big day! We have another ultrasound and check-up! I always look forward to ultrasounds because that means I get to see you and learn a little more about you. Since I can't feel you yet, it's hard to imagine you really in there. But as my tummy is starting to make an appearance, we know you're in there and growing! Make some big kicks soon so I can feel you! I know 14 weeks is a little early, but I am dying to know if you are my son or daughter. Daddy and I both had dreams this week that you were a girl, and then Daddy had a dream last night that you were a boy. I can't wait to find out. Our new house is suiting us well and we are loving the extra space. I cannot wait to start buying you things and decorating for your arrival! Daddy and I decided not to really buy much for you until our Anniversary which is pretty much only a month away! On May 6th we are going to have a special date and then go shopping for you! It was Daddy's idea. I am glad he is so thoughtful and so excited for you. Your uncle Chris is visiting right now for General Conference. It is fun to see him. It makes me sad knowing that you won't meet him until you are about 2 when he comes home from his mission. He is a great person and he will love you so much! We are excited to listen to the Prophet and apostles this weekend. It is such a special time. I remember last conference getting the answer that it was a good time to start trying for you. I had never had a prayer answered so vividly and I try to always remember how strongly I felt whenever I get discouraged about money or timing. I hope their are some great messages this weekend for this Mommy-to-be. All in all, we can't wait to meet you baby. We're 1/3 of the way there. Keep growing strong and remember, we love you always and forever.

Love, Mom

Another week down and we're up to 12 weeks now. I have been wondering a lot about your gender lately. Are you a little girl or a little boy? I hope the Doctor will be able to tell at our next appointment! I don't wanna wait much longer! We are moving into our new house tomorrow! A place for you to have your own nursery. I have been so excited about decorating your nursery. It will be such a fun project for me. Your Daddy wants to build you a crib and a changing table. He sure is a talented man. We are so excited about our new house, especially cause it means you are coming soon! One more week and I am out of the first trimester! Wahoo! I hope you will stop making me sick soon. I wanna be able to feel you. I am so excited for that. It will make this whole pregnancy even MORE real. Some days, I am still shocked thinking about you, our child, growing inside of me. We went to the Temple last night and we performed sealings. I couldn't stop thinking about you. The Sealer told me that you would be a choice child. The spirit was so strong. We are so blessed to have this gospel and to know that you will be sealed to us for time and all eternity. We love you so much. Keep growing up nice and strong.

Love, Mama

Last night was the first time I have actually dreamed about you! In my dream, you were a beautiful little girl. You grew and developed so fast. At just 4 weeks old you were waving to us and smiling so big. It was so fun to dream about you. I hope more dreams come along! Your Aunt Brittney has had more dreams about you than I have. I once read that whatever gender you dream your baby will be, it will turn out opposite. Does that mean you are a little boy? I am 10.5 weeks now! I finished your fun chalkboard and can't wait to take our first weekly picture! You make me so happy, even when I am throwing up everything I eat. It's all worth it to me. Stay strong and healthy!

Love Momma

Baby Heart Beat!

We got to see you little one! It's amazing to me how you are so small and we could see you so clearly! The doctor showed us your strong heart beat! Way to go! At first you were taking a little nap, but with some probing, we got you to wake up. You started kicking your legs! Daddy thinks you are gonna be a soccer player. You even sucked on your thumb! It was so cute and we couldn't stop smiling! It all became so real after seeing you so real and alive. Now we have to wait another 6 weeks to find out your gender... We think you are a boy. That's what the old wive's tales tell us anyway. You are healthy and growing fast just like you are supposed to. Keep up the good work! We can't wait for your next picture in 4 weeks! See you soon!

Love, Momma
