Karissa's Baby Due Date Countdown

To get me to you

To Get Me To You Well I, I still can remember times When the night seemed to surround me I was sure the sun would never shine on me And I, I thought it my destiny To walk this world alone But now you're here with me Now you're here with me And I don't regret the rain Or the nights I felt the pain Or the tears I had to cry Some of those times along the way Every road I had to take Every time my heart would break It was just something that I had to get through To get me to you To get me to you Well I, I still can recall the days When I had no love around me Makes me glad for every day I have with you And I, I look in your eyes and know I'm right where I belong And I belong with you Always belonged with you And I don't regret the rain Or the nights I felt the pain Or the tears I had to cry Some of those times along the way Every road I had to take Every time my heart would break It was just something that I had to go through To get me to you To get me to you And if I could I wouldn't change a thing Wouldn't change a thing baby Because your love was waiting there for me Waiting there for me baby And I don't regret the rain Or the nights I felt the pain Or the tears I had to cry Some of those times along the way Every road I had to take Every time my heart would break It was just something that I had to get through To get me to you To get me to you by Lila McCann I think that is such an amazing song it makes me cry but its all so true and while he is not here in my arms yet he is on his way and I have been feeling his little kicks finally it all just is so amazing. I dont know what the future is going to bring but I hope its nothing but good times filled with love and happiness and an adorable little boy. I am 17 weeks four days pregnant today and im so thankful to have come this far. I am feeling pretty good these days still more tired then I used to be but other then that I feel pretty normal besides the little being that has invaded my stomach and is having a party in there. I felt him move for the first time last week and I even seen him poking my stomach out all funny when he was doing it. Fathers day my husband got to see it for the first time and we both just stared and I cried I have not actually cried to many times during the pregnancy I thought I would at ultrasound and different things but I think im just so shocked still and just so happy when we go to them that he is still there and growing as he should I dont have energy for tears happy or sad. Seeing him move was different it made it feel so real that he really is in there and he is going to be here in just a short 4.5 more months. When you wait your whole life for something like this and fight like hell to get it when its here its just hard to describe all the intense feelings. I just cant wait to meet this little man I cant wait to get bigger and feel him getting stronger this is all just so amazing and im so grateful to be here in this place right now its was all so worth it so so worth it.

Whats new

Not a whole lot actually which is a good thing I like things going easy and staying boring right now. I am feeling super tired today they say you get most of your energy back in the second trimester but I am still always so tired so I dont know who came up with that lol. It is pretty unreal how fast this is all going it blows my mind to think im already four months pregnant. Today I am 16w2d and yes every single one of those days count I want credit for those two extra days!! I cant believe how much baby boy has grown and what is all happening in there its so amazing. We have gotten a few outfits now and the clothes my friend gave me so were already getting a pretty good stash and I just cant get over opening that closet and staring at everything it makes me so happy. I am getting pretty impatient with movement though I really really really just want to feel him move I know it can be a few more weeks but I have friends tell me they have felt some movement by now and others say around 20 weeks im like okay Aiden I have been patient long enough ha ha just show me something but still nothing thats okay though it will come I just cant wait for the day it does. I think the animals are picking up on it now they can feel a big change is coming because they all decided they were all going to go bat shit crazy on us its been interesting between my cat getting so stressed out it caused a urinary infection and to my dogs not eating their food and instead eating anything and everything else they can find including raw dough which we had to induce vomiting to get out of her stomach ughhh its been madness but that is the only thing I can think of that has changed so we will see how it goes. I feel so blessed im going to be able to stay home and raise our son I get to quit my job and just focus on him and I just feel so happy we have this option after everything we went through to get him I dont want to miss out on anything I am counting down the days quite literally until he is going to be here. I am super excited that we almost have our entire stash of cloth diapers they are so damn cute and I cant wait to see his cute little bum in them. I took over my birth plan to my midwife yesterday for our 16 week appointment which went great and thought they were going to think I was a crazy lady but she was very supportive and agreed it was a very good start to one helped me make a few changes but I am super happy with it. I have finally gotten so excited and I am already so in love with this little boy I can hardly stand it waiting to meet him is like torture everyone tells me I will miss being pregnant and to enjoy it and I get it but I just want him here now in my arms safe and taking care of him its sooo hard to wait especially after finding out he was our little boy I have been so anxious for time to go fast. I was scared I wouldnt ever get to feel connected to him because of how afraid I was of everything at first but I was soo wrong I feel more connected to him then I ever thought was possible and im sure it will increase with the movement but I just talk to him all day like a crazy person and to just know your never alone like even when im driving to work in the mornings he is right there with me and its just amazing it really is. Well thats all I really have for now just happy things are going well thankful for this miracle and just hope things will turn out with a very happy ending I have a good feeling though.

Its A....

This was something I dreamed about and thought about long before we actually got here. Just thinking about it actually being your baby up on that screen and you and your husband anxiously waiting to see what the baby is going to be. We go to the studio on Saturday and I was just freaking out I could hardly contain myself I was just this huge jumble of nerves and excitement. Everyone told me it was a girl pretty much everyone told me this and I was just alone in thinking it was a boy then I started to have dreams about a little girl so I was just so confused. The tech started showing us the brain and showing us the fluid in the stomach saying the kidneys were already hard at work which was perfect. We got to see the little bladder with fluid also it was so amazing to see the baby so fully formed my husband couldn't believe how big it was already. Baby was measuring 14w6d we were 14w5d so just perfect I can not be more thankful for this little miracle. The cutest thing was watching them have the hiccups I was just blown away it was adorable watching them. So the tech goes okay now tell me what you think it is and went to the money shot. I just freaked out I knew it I so knew this was my little boy and I couldnt be more happy and excited. We are going to have a son I am just blown away and so so thankful for him. Today we are 15 weeks I cant wait for the rest to go by now I just want to meet him and see his little face without further ado meet Aiden Noah!!!!!
