11 months!

I can't believe my baby is already 11 months!!!!! It has been such an amazing year! We are so blessed to have Kaelyn as a daughter and we love her soooo much! She is an amazing little girl and brings so much laughter and joy into our lives! She has had a busy month. She took her first steps on March 7th at my friend Anna's baby shower. And she has been practicing ever since! She has gotten really good over the last two weeks and we can officially say that she is walking! She loves to laugh and be chased. One of her favorite things is for us to crawl after her saying, "I'm gonna getch ya!" She is exploring her voice and all of the different sounds and noises she can make. She loves to talk and does it the whole ride on the way to daycare in the morning! She keeps me entertained!!! Kaelyn is a cuddle bug and loves to snuggle with us, her animals, her toys, etc. She even walked up and gave her cousin a hug last week! It was too cute! She loves to dance to music and play with her toys. She has started to point at things and loves to explore. We are really looking forward to her birthday next month and what the next year with bring!

I'm really pregnant!!!!....16 weeks



Well, I thought it was time to show that I am actually pregnant!!! I had a Dr appt last week which Joe and Kaelyn got to come to. We got to hear the babies heart beat which was so nice a reassuring! It's hard at first when you are pregnant because the only real way you know there is actually a baby in there is by hearing the heart beat!!! The heart rate was 154-average is 120-160. They say if it is in the higher rage it is a girl! But the baby was moving around so she said it could be exercise induced!!! We will have our ultrasound in 3 weeks on April 16th. Hopefully we will be able to find out what it is! So far the pregnancy has been okay. I was really sick at first that I even had to get some medication. But I have been weaning myself off of it and going 2-3 days without it. So that is an improvement. It has gone by really quickly this time! I think it's because I am so busy focusing on Kaelyn that I don't have time to sit and think about it like the first time! I have felt the baby "flutter" a few times already. I didn't feel Kaelyn until I was 20 weeks, but that was partly because my placenta was in the front and acted like a cushion. And I know what I am feeling this time. I am excited for the first real "kick"!! We are really excited for all that is in store, although I have definitely had a few freak out moments as well!!!!
