It's a.... PEACH!

I am now 13 weeks pregnant - meaning I'm now officially into my 2nd Trimester! And Baby is now the size of a peach!

Jonathan and I went to my doctor's appointment on Monday.  I absolutely love that he is able to be there for me all along the way - we just schedule my visits for in the afternoon and then he takes off work a little early that day.  We are very blessed that he has the ability to do this! Once we got into the exam room, the doctor pulled out a funny little machine (I was desperately hoping she wasn't going to do an pelvic exam with that thing).  Much to our surprise she had me lay back and placed the handle of the machine on my belly.  She moved it around for a few seconds and found the heartbeat!!!! It was the most amazing sound!  Both Jonathan and I just stared at each other, listening to our baby's strong heartbeat, with big goofy grins on our faces.  I wish we'd had a video camera to capture that moment - I've been looking online for a good deal ever since!

My heart was so full of joy leaving that appointment.  I will always remember the moment when we heard our baby's heartbeat for the first time!  Of course, being the loving husband he is, Jonathan took me out for frozen yogurt after we left. 

Pomegranate yogurt with fresh blackberries from Red Mango!

In a short seven weeks I will be having the sonogram that will determine whether we're having a boy or a girl! Once we know the baby's gender, I think I'm going to throw a party in Baby's honor for our immediate families.  It's time to start celebrating this little peach's life!
