9 Weeks

Only 9 weeks and we've got ourselves a healthy baby growing!!!  We've been to the doctor to hear the heartbeat for the first time yesterday, and to confirm the pregnancy once before!  Shaun says we've got us a Little Warrior!!  When we saw the heartbeat, we couldn't believe how intense it was!  Brooklyn's heartbeat on the ultrasound machine always seemed so cute and delicate (but still strong and healthy of course).  This baby has a heart beat that was so nice and strong, I even asked the doctor twice if she was sure there wasn't two there.  haha.  She just calmly said no, and that we just had ourselves a strong, healthy heartbeat!! 

BIG NEWS:  We have Confirmed the baby has a due date of June 21st!!!  This is an exciting due date, its the summer solstice!!  And, a cusp birthday!!!!!

BIG NEWS : Brooklyn has decided to call the baby JALAPENO!!  So from this point forward we will always refer to this baby this way!!!  Just like we referred to Brooklyn as Jelly Bean!

We are getting ready to start getting full swing into the holidays now, sure would’ve been nice with as much traveling as we’ve already done if I had a couple of more weeks in between.  But I guess let’s get them over with cause then shortly after we are moving out of PCB.  Shaun graduates in January and then we're moving.  Looks like it’s back to North Carolina, but until we have official orders, we aren't 100%.   So i'll keep ya'll updated!!

Okay though, back to baby news!!!  I am feeling great!  I had a couple of weeks that I was very, very tired and unmotivated.  But I think a lot had to do with the fact that we were traveling every 2 weeks.  ha.  But these past couple weeks, I feel like myself again!  I'm full of energy and motivation!  I had swore this pregnancy would be different this time around.  I'd stay on top of being healthy!  Working out and eating right!  And while I was so tired and unmotivated, I was getting discouraged because those things weren't happening.  But, its so great to be back!!  Back to working out 5 days a week, running and toning up, getting my body ready to hold a baby!!  At this point in my pregnancy with Brooklyn, I had already gained like 5 lbs and started to need maternity jeans.  So, it feels great that I've gained only 1 lb and still fit into my jeans!   But, I do have myself a little baby bump :).  I'll post some pictures soon! 

Until the next Doctors appointment on December 7, we wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Miss everyone and look forward to seeing you all soon!! 

Hope all is well,

Love,
Shaun, Steph & Brooklyn
