Favourite Things Friday

I have been waiting to write this post for almost 4 months!  And now as the moment has finally come for me to share this on my blog I am sitting here with the biggest smile on my face and happy tears in my eyes.  I can’t believe I FINALLY get to share with all of you my newest most AMAZING favourite thing.

DARREN AND I ARE HAVING A BABY !!!!!

We are just SO thrilled.  We were waiting to share our big news until we had our ultrasound which happened yesterday.  It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.  Our little baby swimming around inside me, kicking and stretching and yawning and flipping around, and yet I can’t feel a thing.  I think I may have felt the first ‘flutter’ a couple nights ago while in bed.  Perhaps it was wishful thinking.  I can’t wait until I can feel baby and can participate in all of its adventures.  I can’t wait to lay for hours at night just feeling baby move.

So far I would say I have been quite lucky with my pregnancy.  I was in my third month in August, my busiest month of the year.  I would be lying if I didn’t say I was worried and nervous about how I would feel.  I worried about letting any of my clients down.  I stressed about how I was feeling affecting my performance, or that I would maybe not come across as being as friendly or social as I would like to be.  But lucky for me my extreme nausea passed in that third month and I am finally getting my energy back and once again feeling more like my ‘regular’ self again …. just a bit bigger.  My baby belly can definitely no longer be hidden!

Baby is due to arrive March 18th, 2011 and we are counting down the days.  I know it will be here before we know it.

So for my most Favourite Thing Friday post, I would like everyone to meet our wee little baby!

Baby
