22 weeks and 2 days :)



Our latest scan shows Little Bean at 22 weeks and 2 days :) The nurse said everything was growing right on target, and she was really happy with the progress...definitely an answer to prayer.

I'm getting a little anxious- Saturday I'm heading back to the states for the first time in over 11 months! It's a little bit surreal- being here already, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. Grant will be with me until the 30th of May, but i will be in Ohio until the 8th of June for my friend Alie Brooke's wedding! If you're around, it'd be great to see you if you have a spare hour or two :)

Thanks for keeping up with us- sorry there's not much more. Hopefully I'll have some great stuff to inform you of when I get back from Ohio :-)

Love.

Baby Bean is Bouncing!




I haven't updated or felt like I've actually made any effort to let people know how we've been doing in quite awhile- and for that I'm so so sorry. I hope this small update gives you and idea!

Grant and I found out I was pregnant on January 5, 2009. The day after my birthday! :) We were ecstatic and couldn't wait to share it with our family! So we called my parents first, and told them who were equally as thrilled! And than went to Grant's parents that evening and told them. So much fun.

I must say, I have been really blessed so far with my pregnancy. It's been a joy, to be honest. I've rarely had morning sickness (only one actual time!) and besides the early nausea, which went away weeks ago- that was my only inconvenience.

Grant and I decided in March to go on a "baby moon" since we hadn't been away on our own since our honeymoon 2 1/2 years ago- and we went to Spain. It was gorgeous and so nice to get away. We really enjoyed walking on the beach (although it was a little windy!) and going for walks to the Marina everyday...oh- and the ice-cream...YUM.

We've both been doing really well- and he's so excited about the baby. We decided we aren't going to find out the sex of the baby- OR tell any names we've decided on so you can all be surprised when he/she is born! A little clue if any of you believe the old wives tales....yesterday the heart beat was in the 150's...if that means anything! (I'm still thinking it's a boy though!)

We have our anatomical scan tomorrow and that should be the last until the birth! Which will be on or around the 9th of September. (09/09/09- how fun is that?!) Everything is going well still- and I'm growing lots. Here's a little pic just for you to laugh at! I'm sure I'll be whale like by August..just in time for the heat wave. (lovely.)

I'll post more when we get pics of the new scan- can't wait. Hope you're all well.

Love.
