Me Too

Once again,

Joanna Goddard of A Cup of Jo came through for me.

She is doing this brilliant idea

of counting down to Valentine's Day

with a love themed post each day.

I am borrowing this idea.

Because gosh dang,

I love Valentine's Day.

So if you hate it,

don't come back here for 12 days.

This is not an "un-invite"

simply a warning.

So here goes it -

Today's love post is shamelessly 

about Precious Baby Smid.

I promised myself not to

be on of those people

whose every blog post,

Tweet and status update is about

baby and pregnancy.

But due to the appointment

I just returned from...

(and that I am the mother)

I am doing it.

Don't hold me back!

Okay,

so we haven't gotten an ultrasound 

picture the last couple visits

so I can't show you a photo of 

our baby.

Instead I took this photo

off of a website that I read sometimes.

So this is typically what a baby looks like

at 14 weeks gestation.

Look at those little fingers and eyes...

and ears! 

Okay, that is enough about some

random persons baby.

Today we heard Little One's heartbeat for the first time.

It sounded like "woosh woosh"

and the Dr. said it was about 150 beats per minute.

Strong and healthy sounding.

I was surprised to hear how active Little is! 

Moving around like crazy.

So with 12 days to go until the

Day of Love,

that was my tidbit of love today.
