Hello Poppyseed!

So we've been referring to our developing baby as Poppyseed. Why? Well, because when we first found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks, that's only as big as the baby was at the time. Now, in our 5th week, it's the size of an orange seed! They grow so fast! :)

I have to say that I am loving being pregnant with Poppyseed. I never truly thought I would say that. I was not that girl that couldn't wait to be a mom, or couldn't wait to feel a baby inside me. However, now that I am 'ready' for Poppsyeed, I am beyond thrilled. I am elated. I am protective. I'm nervous. I'm petrified. Most of all, I am grateful. I look around that the amount of people who are not as fortunate as myself, people who try to conceive and can't. My heart breaks for them on levels I never understood until I was given this wonderful gift.

I also never thought I would take to blogging. However, I find myself eager to do so. First off, I wanted a place where I can journal for myself. Secondly, I want to be able to share my news with my close network. I don't feel that my entire list Facebook friends need to see my 'belly' at 7 months. I'm not sure my closest friends and family will want to, but you can bet they are the only ones I choose will show it too! So, if you read this then I thank you for being interested and celebrating with us.
