Today I had my first doctor appointment for the new baby. Marc was suppose to have school till 5 but he finished early so he got to meet me for the appointment to meet baby number 2. First, let me say, I love my doctor (shout out to Dr. Beck). He is just so kind and tells it straight. He also delivered Ruby and Marc.

I was telling my Doctor Beck how we believed I was 12 weeks and I lay down on the table he felt my stomach, “yep, there is a baby in there. But I don’t think you are 12 weeks”. He then busted out the ultrasound and BAM! There was my baby. Beautiful, healthy, only one, and moving. After some quick measurements, Dr. Beck informed us I am actually SIXTEEN weeks along. I jumped ahead a whole month! We are 2 weeks from being half way there. Oh my goodness! I’m still taking that one in.

He also said its looks like a girl, but he couldn’t say for certain.

We weren’t planning on sharing our big news on social media today, but since we are already 4 months- why not?

Ice ice BABY

We are pretty excited. And I am a little nervous, but mainly excited. When I  began addressing my growing belly as ‘my baby’that helped keep the worries down and focus on the joy. It makes it more real. Hooray for our growing family that I love! Johnson, party of FOUR.
