For some of you, you've just learned the news that there's a little human growing inside of me. And while I feel terrible to have kept it a secret for so long, now I'm ready to shout it from the rooftops and tell it to the world. I want to tell people who sit down next to me on the subway and those who are standing on line with me at the deli... I even find myself resisting the urge to tell people while passing on the sidewalk. But now, it's becoming undeniably apparent as the buttons on my coat and fabric of my shirts are bursting with the news even before I can say anything.
Along with the exciting news of this lovely new country home that we have acquired, we are also brimming with joy that we will be bringing a baby boy into the world on (or around) May 11, 2015. We went for our 16-week ultrasound about 3 weeks ago, and felt incredible joy as we watched our boy move, swim, jump, and wiggle inside of my uterus. We were able to see that all of his parts are there, and everything looks to be in great condition. I've put some first glimpses of our little guy below at 12 weeks and then again at 16 weeks. Check out that mug!
12 weeks
16 weeks
We are now 19 weeks along, and we will return for our next ultrasound on December 30th where we will encounter him again in his expanded form. Currently, we're told he's about the size of a mango, but 2 weeks from now he's supposed to be as big as a pomegranate. It's a strange weekly habit I have now of comparing this human being growing inside of me to a colorful fruit. From the outside it already looks and feels more like he's the size of a ripe honeydew!
So, here we are after our long journey together with a new house and a baby on the way. And we couldn't be happier. We are so happy to share all of our expansion with you and hope that you will continue to follow us on our journey through this beautiful new life of ours :)
