So, remember how I’m a little behind with blogging? Well, today I’m officially 18 weeks pregnant, but we took this picture last week. Just thought it was time we share the great news via blog for those who don’t know yet. The due date is April 18 and no we don’t know gender yet, but we will find out in two weeks. Darin “knows” it’s a boy. He even had an awesome dream about our baby the other night and got to hear his laugh! He’s such a visionary man. =D Who knows…we’ll take a boy or a girl.
Pregnancy’s been pretty great for me…I haven’t hardly been sick at all and I’ve been able to keep up with work and school. It’s been fun to feel the baby moving around more. I heard several kicks while the doctor was listening for the heartbeat this week and I actually felt one last night. Incredible! At first being pregnant all seemed so surreal to me, but now that I have a little “pooch” and know there’s movement in there, it’s so exciting!!
For those who are wondering, this is the real reason why Darin didn’t apply for dental school this year. We realized be could start our family sooner if he could stay home while I completed my fellowship year (working full-time) to get certified as a speech/language pathologist and then he will start dental school and I’ll be home! Our plan actually worked! He’s really excited to be Mr. Mom for a while before he’s engrossed in school again.
congratulations!! that is so exciting. it sounds like we are really similar - max was due (and born) on april 20th! and...i don't really get sick when i'm pregnant either :) hooray! getting "the bump" is so much fun, it is crazy to see how much your stomach can grow! can't wait for more updates and to see what you're having!
ReplyDeleteYay! Congratulations Rach, you look so good!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Keep updating your blog with pregnancy pics and updates. I probably told you but I'm pregnant with baby girl #2, due March 16. With the pregnancy and with Sydney running around, all I think/talk about is babies! That's fun that Darin will get to take care of the baby at first; most dads never get that time with their children (full-time at least).
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you and the baby for running that half-marathon. WAY TO GO GIRL!! That's not an easy thing to do (not that I have any experience in running with a baby inside of me)! Can't wait to see your tummy grow!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Thanks for the update. I'm glad things have been going so great for you guys, especially that first trimester. It was hard for me when I was pregnant with Hyrum, especially going to work. Keep us posted! By the way, sorry I was lame on facebook. :-)
