Happy Thursday!

I read this passage yesterday on my best friend's blog and fell in love.

This morning I wanted to check in and hear Baby's heartbeat (I have limited myself to every few days with the doppler). It was the first time that I found their heart beat and heard mine simultaneously. In that moment I felt blessed to be living this life. It's so hard to wrap my head around the fact there is a little human being with a beating heart growing inside of me. It's crazy to think our bodies are capable of something so amazing!

One of my weekly update videos said that now is when the baby can start to sense light (even though their eyes are closed) and start to hear sounds. The video suggested to start talking and singing so that they can hear my voice.  I was driving home the other day, trying to sing along with the radio & realized I didn't know the lyrics to any songs! (I never listen to the radio) Dylan is infamous for never knowing the words to any song so I started laughing, telling the baby they probably won't be blessed with any great musical genes.

I read that babies have an easier time recognizing deep male voices. I really want the baby to know Dylan's voice so I'm hoping we can do a lot of Skyping while Dylan's is deployed. Still not fully registering that this deployment is right around the corner...


On another note, our registry is coming along! I did end up buying our diaper bag off of Zulily. It was just too good of a deal to pass up...

I wanted to go with something gender neutral (obviously, we don't know the gender yet) so that I can use for future pregnancies if I want to. This bag is still retailing for $180 at Nordstrom so I'm doing my happy dance at getting a great deal! ($99)

Our long holiday weekend starts when Dylan gets home today, looking forward to spending time together & prepping for our trip to Atlanta! I'm definitely ready to leave town for a while & to see everyone back home!

Until next time...
