May 4, 2012 - 12 weeks, 3 days

Hey Little Baby Kam (i'll reveal the actual rest of your name when we find out if you're a girl or a boy),

This week has been a whirlwind and I'm so glad it's Friday.  I've been up and down emotionally but I'm stable and smiling today.  The high point of my week was yesterday because your dad and I had our 12 week appointment and got to hear your little heartbeat! Honestly, one of thee coolest things ever that I'll ever hear.  Hearing the heartbeat made everything so official for me, not that I didn't believe I was pregnant from the ultrasound but it was still a surreal thought that I was actually pregnant.  But hearing that strong 154 heartbeat coming out of that little speaker put me in super mommy mode already.  And your dad, was very emotional at hearing the heartbeat, he is just too cute and supportive.  We can't wait to hear it again in June :)

On another note, the wedding is officially 14 days away....praise the Lord! We are so ready to join our little family together, in our eyes you were our blessing from God that let us know we were making the right decision to get married.  We've been engaged since August 2010 and wedding plans went up and down and back and forth, kind of like the movie "Five-year Engagement".  We were going to put off getting married until 2013, then we pushed it forward, then moved it back again then we (well it was me actually) called off the wedding because it was just too much for me to handle.  Then one day in January we said, you know what, there's no point in waiting anymore because we're practically married, we know we want to be with each other so let's do this thing in May.  We got on the ball with planning our DIY small wedding asap and got a lot of details taken care of, then in March we got the good news that you were on the way.  So a lot of stuff has been going on, but I know that everything will be totally worth it.  Can't wait to see your family from Vegas and Chicago in two weeks, I miss them so much! And I'm sure they'll be rubbing my belly a lot.  Kori is determined to turn you into a mini-version of herself and Kayla is praying that you're a boy, your grandparents are super excited and your great-grandparents are already buying stuff...you are going to be way too spoiled.

This week was also finals for me...didn't do too well on Business Communication and I blame myself for not being able to block out what was bothering me and focusing more, but I should be able to pull off a good grade though.  Now, my managerial accounting final....85% whoohoo!  Maybe your little brain is in there learning all of this business stuff and you'll be a CEO of a great company one day or at least a good number cruncher :)

Well little baby K...until next time :)

Love,

Mommy

Oh and can you kick me or something already so people can stop asking me if i've felt a "flutter" yet ;) thanks!
