To celebrate our four months of pregnancy, Jimmy and I decided to have a little fun with a comparison bumpie. What do you think? I may be showing just a tad more than he is (wink, wink).

In case you want a closer look at my actual bump, here’s another:

I’ve felt the baby move a couple of times this week, but no such luck getting Jimmy to feel it. Maybe this week…

Hope you’re all enjoying the weekend. We’re having a grand old time walking around Amsterdam. (Still keeping up the 10k steps per day!) Tonight we’re taking in a comedy show in the Jordaan. Fingers crossed we get picked on 🙂

Lots of love,

This morning we had our second ultrasound and wow, it’s amazing how much they grow in just 3 weeks. Our little one was active and bouncing around in the womb. Watching him/her move about, I couldn’t help but feel thankful for all the ways technology has helped us to see and connect with the world around us. First to see inside ourselves (literally), and then to share it with the world around us.

And here I am this weekend, taking my first “bumpie.” Excuse the bedhead 🙂

8 weeks.

Today we had our first ultrasound and just like everyone says, it was a totally surreal experience. Hearing the heartbeat for the first time was magical and overwhelming. I instantly felt protective over this perfect little thing growing inside of me. I’m sure our 8 week ultrasound looks much like everyone else’s but here’s a preview of our forthcoming little one:

And here’s a photo of us after I had 10 vials of blood taken. Good thing the doc had some apple juice handy.
