Baby Hobgood: 20 weeks!

Well, we are half way there! Our anatomy scan was today, it was nothing short of amazing. I am not sure if I can even express the joy I felt in that room today. He was a wiggle worm for sure, but we saw more of him than we have yet. He was measuring perfectly, everything looked great! I wasn't expecting to get 3d shots of him, so when she pulled up images of his face I sort of couldn't even believe what I was seeing. When she first pulled it up, his sweet little face and hands were in the shot and it looked as if he was waving with his little fingers! Sigh. It is such a surreal feeling to see what is in your own belly...and that thing that is in your belly is a living human...and that this living human is your own child. What an overwhelming feeling of love you feel in that moment. He is perfect already, he will always be perfect to me! No matter what comes or happens or he does or whatever...He is perfect. And God has decided for some unknown reason to entrust Heath and I with His child. I am so thankful today for the gift of family and children. At the very end, he decided to give a guns up, ya'll! Heath said "thats my boy! starting him early!" Our little red raider!

Oh...and we decided on a name! :) 

Sweet boy.

Food cravings/aversions: I have wanted Sheridan's almost everyday this week. So feel free to bring me a smoothie or shake from there anytime and anyday of the week friends. ;-)

Movement: So so much movement! The past few days I started to feel flips and twists and turns. It is the strangest feeling, but the best yet! Heath has finally felt him kick a little. He is very timid when it comes to Heath trying to feel...little stinker!

What I'm looking forward to: I am trying to take this day by day and enjoy every second, because I am loving it so much. Im not sure if there is anything specific that I am looking forward besides obvious things like another ultrasound and getting closer to meeting him. Starting on the nursery will be fun and already started planning for a baby shower! Woah! 

Best moment this week: THE ANATOMY SCAN!

Milestones: Half way to holding our little...

Hi everyone, nice to meet you! :)
