Getting Closer!

We are getting closer to the finish line!! We are just days away from the two month mark!! As we do get closer things are beginning to happen. I have Braxton Hicks contractions now almost every day and the longer they happen the stronger they get. That's not getting annoying at all. Thomas and I began our birthing classes last week. We go once a week on Wednesdays and so far it is great. The first class was very scary because we watched an actual birth and just got a lot of information. This week not so scary. Thomas has been very supportive and the best team mate I could ask for.

One great thing that happened this week is I felt a limb move across my stomach. I have what they call an anterior placenta so I can't feel her move as much as someone would with a lower or higher placenta and it makes it extremely hard to feel her from the outside. Even with that the other day I was sitting with my hand on my stomach and I felt her move her hand (I think) from the side of my stomach to my belly button then punch. It was great! It was really overwhelming to be honest. I can't get over how many little milestones there are to be had when you are making a person. It is crazy how all these little things make me feel closer to someone I have never even met! Only thing is I wish it didn't take nine freaking months! That is just way too long to have someone wait for the best present ever!! Like Thomas said the other day since women are actually pregnant for 10 months I will be pregnant for almost a year! One year! That's like setting the prettiest present on a table at someones house with a tag that says don't open for ten months. You can't expect that to happen!

Well that's all we have to update for now. If you haven't yet please scroll down and check out my beautiful daughters pictures from our 3D/4D scan we had a couple of weeks ago.
