12 Weeks


We were all very excited to get to see you yesterday baby! We've decided to do our prenatal care here on the Big Island in Waimea, so we made a day of it. First we stopped at Beach 69 for lunch, a swim and sand castle building. We all had so much fun! Your sister enjoyed floating and swimming around in her tube. We can't wait to introduce you to our family beach days!

We then headed up to the Women's Center and checked in. Autumn has a cold, so her and daddy stayed in the car until they called us into office and then they came in. The Nurse Mid-Wife was very nice and asked us all sorts of questions about our family and giving us information about having a healthy pregnancy. Then the best part - we got to see you! Six weeks ago when I got to take a peep at you, you were a heart beat! Yesterday we saw you, you loaded your legs and took huge spring jumping practice a couple of times! So fun! You only measured 2 days older than we thought, so they will leave your due date as October 9th. We prepped Autumn through out the week, letting her know that we were going to get to see you and hear your heartbeat. She's been asking questions and telling me things like - "you need to change the babies diaper, the baby is laughing (after she gave you goobers through my tummy), will we get to hold the baby tomorrow? will we bring the baby home? the baby is a girl, the baby is a boy" After seeing you, we got to hear your heartbeat. The Mid-Wife guessed you are a boy based on the speed of the heart rate. We will have to wait! I'm leaving it up to your daddy to decide if we will try to find out if you are a little boy or a little girl at our diagnostic ultrasound or at your birth. He has a few more weeks to ponder (-:

We love you baby!!! Can't wait to meet you!!!

Love,
Mommy
