Wow 27 weeks this week with Miss Delaney Marie! A lot has happened since we found out about our little precious girl!
A lot of you might know but Tim and I were planning for a mini us! We tried for 6 months and then it was finally our turn! I was calculating days and all that good stuff and The first day my ovulation calender said to take a test I was all about it! Well I took a digital test and nothing happened must have been a dud... BUT then Saturday came around (a few days later) and Tim randomly said "baby I think you should take another test..." "I was like no babe its ok... I don't wont to get bummed out again..." He said "no babe I really think you should..." So I said "ok I will..."Def took it and laid it on the window seal and went and laid back down! Tim was pacing back and forth in the bathroom! NEXT I heard "Um babe?..." My response: as sitting up in the bed REALLY fast "Um what?..." Tim's respone: "We are pregnant!!!" (huge smile on his face!!! will never forget it! ) my response: "Babe if I come in there and your joking I'm going to whop your butt!" haha Tim: "No really babe, it says PREGNANT!" Of course I fly out of the bed and go look!!! It read PREGNANT!!! Tim and I both were all smiles!!! We had taken a picture of all our boots months ago ready and prepared for this amazing and exciting day! We sent the picture out to close friends and family!
First dr. appointment was so amazing to hear our little ones heart beat and see the little bean she looked like!
Second dr appointment where we got to see her she looked like a little gummy bear and was moving like crazy!
Heart rate has always been in the 150's!
The BIG doctor appointment finally arrived(Thursday)! The gender reveal! Some of you know but others who don't We had my mother in law Kerrie with us and the Dr. only told her this day! Yes I know we had to wait a whole day NOT knowing! Kerrie left the dr. and went home to finish decorating a box that she stuffed with balloons the color of the gender!
Friday evening finally came! Friends and family gathered from all over even on FaceTime!!! The countdown began and we opened the box in front of everyone! ANDDD out flew beautiful PINK balloons!!! IT'S A GIRL!!! Talk about an over abundance of joy rushing through my heart! Which PS thank you to everyone that was able to make it! Such a special day to us! We announced her name Delaney Marie that night to everyone!
Since then I feel like time is soaring by! I have been very busy at work and I know that is one reason why it has been so fast paced!
My cravings have been: chicken broth, steak, & PB&J so far!
Tim has done an incredible job getting her nursery ready! Painting, putting her bed & shelves together, and picking up her changing table we found! We still have a lot to do but it is coming together wonderfully! He is such an amazing daddy already! I can't wait to see her in his arms!
I went home to GA for Thanksgiving break and was SO excited I got to see my family during my pregnancy and they got to see me too! One thing that meant so much to me is My sissy got to feel Delaney move a lot! and I also got to meet my new little sister Maylee, which was very special! In the photos you will see a photo of my belly painted that my sissy spent a lot of time on! She did such a cute and wonderful job! She is so artistic even on her sissy's belly! It is a momma ladybug and baby ladybug! Loved this moment and memory with my sissy!
I am about to go on my Christmas break (2 weeks) and yes this momma is SO excited to get things done around the house and relax... yes I know what some of you are thinking... you relax Alex?... yeah well its written in my planner haha so going to try but we shall see!
Tonight is a VERY special night! For the first time Tim and I got to physically see Delaney's body move across the to of my tummy 3 times and feel her too! It was amazing and we are so in love with her already!!!
Sorry so long but new at this blog thing and had a lot to cover over the last 27 weeks :)
More to come of the journey of Miss Delaney Marie!
