The Bird Family

So I went to my 2nd doctor appointment last week. It was awesome! Jake was able to get away from work to go with me this time so I was super excited! The doctor, who by the way, I love, let me have another ultrasound. When he put the jelly on my belly it was extremely warm, it was freezing last time! When Jake looked at Baby Bird on the monitor his eyes lit up! Then we heard the heartbeat. Jake just beamed with a smile from ear to ear! Later, while walking to the truck, I asked Jake what he thought. He just smiled and said, it just feels real now. I laughed. The horrible sickness and the fact that I've been hibernating for the past 2 months didn't make it real enough I guess. =) It's true though, as soon as you hear that heartbeat and see the little thing moving, it all just comes to be reality! This is not a dream! =) Our next appointment is on April 1st. I will be 16 weeks along then. That day we will schedule an Ultrasound for 18-20 weeks along to find out if we're having a boy or girl. Only 6-8 weeks to go and then I can start working on the nursery!
