Baby is Kicking!! Very first time on Christmas Day!!
That's right!! I felt our baby move today!! So exciting! It felt more like baby stretched than really kicked. It was wonderful and very reassuring that everything is moving along on course!
Baby's First Blessing
I wanted to be sure and document a very special moment for mommy and baby.
Last week I went to Church in DC during my lunch break and enjoyed a wonderful service at St. Francis' Catholic Church. Following the mass the Father stood outside and greeted each of the people as they left the church. I introduced myself and asked that the Father and I share a prayer for my baby. He enthusiastically agreed and we bowed our heads... he thanked God for his blessings and placed his hands on my belly then said, "Lord, please wrap your arms around Kristi's unborn child to protect him or her and bring the baby in to the world with your grace."
It was wonderful and the mommy-to-be gave the priest a tearful thank you. I was so moved by the prayer it took me a few moments to collect myself :)

Going on 18 weeks... and a babybump to show for it!!
The morning sickness is a thing of the past! At about week 15 the morning sickness (that lasted ALL DAY) ended and now it's smooth sailing. It's getting a little harder to find a cozy spot in bed as my tummy is getting bigger and bigger each day. But I'm still able to wear most my tops and rotate the three or four pairs of pants that still fit for work :)
Here's the baby bump at 4 months -

Bean's First Christmas Tree... 15 weeks and counting!
Hello all!
Mike and I are excited for the holiday season and busted out all the Christmas decor this weekend! We even got our tree (and took the dogs, who both loved it!)... the house smells amazing and it's making me homesick for Cali, but it's nice to have such a happy, warm home for for Bean's first (sort of) Christmas. :)
We have a doctor's appointment next week and look forward to hearing baby's heartbeat - we didn't get a chance to last visit because baby was being stubborn.
At the visit we're going to get the slip to go to the 3-D Ultrasound to find out... drum roll.... if we're having a boy or girl!!!!!!!!!! How exciting!! Hurry and vote for your guess - to the right of this post!
Love you all!
