little trials, little faces

Two weeks ago I started having slight "complications" with my pregnancy. Nothing major (so far), and as long as the doctors monitor my baby girl and myself I'm sure we will both be fine. :) However we won't really know much unless more symptoms appear, and if none do....well I've been told we will find out at my six week appointment after Aubrey shows up.
Anyways...the purpose of this post was not to dwell on the bad. Since I have started seeing a specialist during all of this they have been doing an ultrasound every week. That being the case I have finally been able to see my baby girl's face! (Which I didn't think was going to happen because I couldn't afford the 4D ultrasounds, but since they are needed to monitor the little one, insurance covers it!--I got lucky!)

She is doing fantastic according to everything they have needed to look for, which is great! As long as she is healthy that's all I ask for! :) I can't wait to actually meet her and be able to hold her, but for now, I will settle for these cute little images! :) <3 br="br">

getting there...

I can't believe that I am already 8 months along. It seems like just yesterday I found out I was having a baby. Time sure does fly. And while we do have a majority of what we need for little miss Aubrey's arrival; I still feel very unprepared. (Though I'm certain I am not alone...I keep hearing all first time mothers, and sometimes even with mothers with more than one child, never really feel prepared.) It's a constant, but surprisingly not overbearing, thought of "do I have what it takes?" "Can I actually do this?" I guess we will find out. :) 

But in all honesty, I am quite excited, despite the nerves. I have always looked forward to being a mother and having that little one who genuinely looks up to me and thinks the world of me simply because I am her mother; in the eyes of a child, that's all they need to know. :) I think it's going to be wonderful to be able to see the world through her eyes and be taken back to how simple life can be. While yes, I do she will grow out of the sweet innocence, while she has it, I plan on enjoying every minute of it with her. :) Experiencing the little stuff all over again, right beside her. :)

real

It's finally become real. I'm going to be a mom. I heard my baby's heartbeat yesterday. It made everything real. There is a child inside me. MY baby. It's really happening. And now I can't wait. To find out if its a boy or girl, to hold them, and take care of them and watch them grow. Love them. :D

starting up....again....

Wow, It's been almost a year...so much as changed. I come back here every now and then and always mean to write something but never do...one of those 'oh, I don't really have anything interesting enough to write anyways' type of deals. Well, that's all about to change. 

I should go through and recap but I think I'd rather just start new. Seems like the best thing to do right now anyways. I'm not going to get into it right now but things will be up and running shortly. I hope. :P Sometimes life just gets away from you, ya know? But right now I really just kinda need a place to get away...I think this is going to be it. :)
