All quiet on the set!
This last week was a pretty stressful week for me (and when your pregnant, your stress level seems to rise). To top it off, I have been pretty sick during the pregnancy. So after a long, rough, sick and stressful day at work I come home to this...
A dozen red roses and the movie "Bedtime Stories" (one of my favs). Not only that but the house was spotless! The laundry was done, folded and put away (with only a little bit of hinting), the bathroom was sparkling clean and the rest of the house just had a quiet, clean, peaceful feeling. It felt like I was on the set of a tv show and as soon as I walked in someone said "All quiet on the set." The hubby was there saying, "I know you have been stressed so now you don't have to worry about cleaning. Just relax and watch a movie." I felt some stress release from my body. The hubby does not like me to clean when I am pregnant... mostly because of the chemicals. He has taken on the responsibility of doing the cleaning. I don't have to do much hinting or nagging. He can get a sense of when its time to clean. He does a wonderful job and I am very thankful and appreciative of him.
Baby Bear!
I am almost 16 weeks (just about 4 more weeks and then we get to find out what the sex of the baby is!) On my 9 week appointment we got an ultra-sound. We got to hear the heart beat. It was 178 (that is a really good, strong heart beat). It was so awesome to be able to hear the babies heart beat. During the ultra-sound I also got to see the baby. The baby was turned to the side but then flipped over so we could see the front side. I think that is when it finally sunk in that I was actually having a baby. Tears of joy filled my eyes. I was so proud of the baby for allowing me to see the face. I constantly tell the baby how proud I was and if only it could do that at the 20 week ultra-sound than mom and dad would be even more proud! Here is a picture of the ultrasound...
We think it looks like a teddy bear. We call it our 'little baby bear', at least until we find out what the sex is! We are so thankful for the opportunity to be parents. We will keep you updated when we have our 20 week appointment.
