We have MOVEMENT!

We had a doctor appointment yesterday morning. I am officially gaining weight steadily. At my first appointment with the perinatal doctors, I weighed 124 lbs.. then a week 2 weeks later I was up to 126 & now 2 weeks later I'm weighing in at 130! WOW! My belly is now starting to poke out a little! The baby gave us a little scare at the doctors office. When the nurse went to listen for a heartbeat, she couldn't find it. I had just finished telling her how I had a dream where we came in to our appointment and they couldn't find a heartbeat. She didn't want me panicking, so we checked with a sono. The baby was moving and the heart was beating strongly! Chris commented how the baby must have his genes because the it's already making trouble! :) We got a picture of the heartbeat but no close ups! :(

Oh and we have MOVEMENT! Last week, Chris and I had a very busy day! He took me to Chittanango Falls and we had lunch by the falls! Very sweet! He planned the whole day. Afterwards we went to beaver lake and walked one of the trails. Came home, took a nap and as we we're waking up, I felt the baby move. It felt like little taps on by my bladder which made me think it might not be the baby. It lasted a good minute or so then stopped. I didn't feel anything again until this morning. Again it came and went. My doctors nurse told me she was sure that was the baby!! :) :)

I've been at my job for almost a month now & I really like it! I'm doing pretty good & the people are really nice. Everyone there knows I'm pregnant & people keep asking to touch my belly. Not yet, sorry!

Chris is still searching, the economy still sucks! We hope we can be moved out of here by june! This civilian life isn't as easy and I thought it would be! I really miss the perks of the military, minus Chris being gone a lot!

Well, thats all for now!

We love you Little One!
love mommy+daddy
