The joys that life can bring....

While Cameron and I were living a part we received very exciting news. I had no idea where he was and just could not wait to share the news with him. I kept calling him with no response, so I sent him a picture message to get my point across. It was a picture of my pregnancy result. We were expecting our first little one. The thought of our family growing brought an overwhelming sense of joy.

We are so excited but it still felt so unreal to us. That is until we started going to our doctor appointments. Our first couple appointments Cam went with me. We found out that our baby is due November 24th, which suites us completely since Cam is almost a Christmas baby and I was almost a Valentines baby, it's only right that our baby is due around Thanksgiving. Our second appointment we were able to hear the heart beat of our precious baby. It fun to hear how fast the little heart was beating. Moments like that made the pregnancy more real.

After a couple weeks of finding out our due date, we decided to share the news with our family members by sending them a card with a picture of our announcement. 

Our families were both so excited to hear the news. Our littlest sister Kate made the comment that she was so excited for us to have a baby and she couldn't wait to figure out if she was going to be an uncle or an aunt. Oh man, she is a goofy one.

A little while later were able to go to an early ultrasound and make sure that everything was developing on time with the baby. Cam wasn't able to make it since the appointment I was able to get was during his class. Needless to say, we received great news that the baby was developing correctly and everything looked good.

It was an unbelievable experience to see our little baby moving inside me. I seriously cannot expresses the overwhelming joy I felt watching our little one for the first time.

About 16 to 17 weeks (night of June 21st) Cam and I were laying in our bed talking. He started to rub my tummy and he felt our baby move for the first time. I couldn't believe it so I started to press on my tummy and tired to see if I could feel it too. Feeling our baby move was another testament to the pregnancy becoming more and more real to us.

 On July 11th we went in for an ultrasound and we were able to see our baby again. For Cam it was his first time looking at our precious one. The baby is getting bigger and bigger. This time we weren't able to get a picture of the baby within one picture. We  had to see our little one in sections. It was a really tender experience to share with him. We also received the news of what we were having.

We are soon to be proud parents and joyfully announce that this November we will be joined by a beautiful baby girl!!! We cannot wait to meet her and welcome her in to our family. To our little girl we want to say. we love you and we are only 4 months away from sharing the rest of our lives with you. We are thrilled that you will be joining our family!
