Sha-Shoosh-Sha-Shoosh ❤

January 17th 2012

Hi baby! I just got out of class and I'm heading back to Sumter to go to my doctors appointment, your Daddy is meeting me there. We are really hoping to hear your heartbeat today and make sure everything is going smoothly. I keep hearing everyone talk about how special it will be to hear your heart beat for the first time and I get a little teary eyed every time just thinking about it. I'm so excited and anxious! And Daddy is too.

later that day...


We just heard your hearbeat! We joked that it sounded like a washing machine...
sha shoosh sha shoosh,fast as ever. 
Daddy was smiling so big, with those bright cheery eyes, I wish I could have caught him on camera. 
And I.. Well I just started bawling, and couldn't stop! It was monumental. You're OURS, I can't believe I can create you in me, it may sound strange but I just felt an overwhelming sensation of amazement, astonishment, shock, and joy all at once. My jaw was dropped as my eyes began to pour, and sweet Daddy called me over to his lap and held me to calm me, whiping my tears. It was a very special moment for both of us. And everything seems to be going fine. The doctor even said she was relieved to have a normal pregnant patient! She did recommend I stop taking the prenatal vitamin to hopefully help with the morning/day/night sickness. So we will try it out.

...In other news

We just signed a lease for a house for all of us to live in. Me and your Daddy have spent our entire relationship in our apartment, so it'll be a little sad to leave it. But I'm so excited to be upgrading to a house and making room for you, our precious angel. I'm so excited to make you a nursery :) I plan on making a lot of the decorations etc. myself. We will be using your daddy's cradle from when he was a baby.

Daddy pulled this out of the garage for you :)

I wish I had more stuff from my childhood to give you, but unfortunately most of my things were burnt in a house fire when I was a kid. We should move within the next month. I also have school events I'm helping with so it's gonna be a busy month for you and me babe. Me and your Dad keep talking about baby names and we always end up joking around and coming up with silly names like Van VanOrmer or Killer Rex or Passion Grapefruit. So far we've only found one boy name and one girl name we both like, which are Claira and Mark - Lucky for you we have more time to come up with good ones ;)

We LOVE you sweet baby! Kisses and hugsssss!!!!!!!!!
