Sixteen Weeks and Growing!

Last week marked the 16th week of pregnancy and we are feeling so blessed to have made it to this point! In just a little over two weeks we will be able to find out the gender of this little one and can then hopefully soon put a name with this sweet little baby!  I had a doctors appointment at 15 weeks and everything continued to look great.  I didn't have an ultrasound, just checking the baby's heartbeat which continues to be around 152-154.  Here is an updated picture of this growing belly :-)  It's a little blurry because of my poor computer skills! ;-)

 

We have ordered baby furniture this week, our first big baby purchase!! Can't believe I was able to even wait this long to buy something for this sweet baby!  We also got the results back from the integrated screenings where they test for neural defects and everything came back normal.  God is realllly good!   That is such a blessing and we are thankful that this baby is healthy!  Hopefully the next few weeks will go by quickly so we can know whether to buy blue or pink! :-)

 

 

This is a side note but June is "Move Over Awareness Month" in Virginia where the state is stressing the importance of moving over for first responders.  Trooper families have been sending in pictures as a way to spread the word so here is our attempt. 



So thankful for all my husband does and how hard he works every day! Even more thankful for every day/night that he comes home to me!!
