The sweetest sound...

SO I haven't updated in a little while, but we did have a monumental moment on April 30th! :) We heard our sweet baby's little heartbeat. That whoosh whoosh sound is just the sweetest sound... I couldn't believe that it was OUR baby's heartbeat I was hearing. Steve went with me, which was very sweet. He said I couldn't stop smiling and I had this huge grin on my face as the heartbeat "whooshed" away. I mean I have only been waiting for that moment for like my whole life - well seriously waiting for 2 years but still! I was 7 weeks a couple days when we heard it. I am now in my 9th week, which is just crazy! Part of me feels like it is flying by, but the other part feels like it is the longest pregnancy ever! I just want to hold our sweet little baby so bad!

On another note, for the last 2 weeks I was so nauseous and tired... going to bed a literally 10:00 every night because I can barely keep my eyes open. Thankfully I switched prenatals and I think that has helped with the nausea SO much! That is just a miserable feeling - feeling like you are going to puke from like 10am every day, getting worse at night. I am trying so hard to be thankful.. I know that it's a good sign to feel poopy, but it makes it kinda hard! haha! Thankfully I have not actually gotten sick which is such a blessing because anyone that knows me, knows that that is like my biggest fear - I HATE THROWING UP... like I kinda freak out if I even think I might.. or if anyone around me says they think they are going to... haha.. it is a slight problem that I need to get over before I have this baby! HA!

Anyways, the Lord has been so good. I am so thankful for His timing in everything. Trusting the Lord isn't always easy, but I have learned just how much I can trust him and his plan through this whole journey. I am forever grateful for how he gently molds me... I can be so stubborn sometimes and I am thankful that he knows best and has the perfect plan for my life.

Next doctors appointment, my first official OB appointment, where I get to have all kinds of tests run on me (woo!) is on May 30th. Super excited that I will be almost 12 weeks by then!! EEK! Almost done with the first trimester!

Here is our baby at 7 weeks :)
