Milestones:
Cravings: ICE CREAM!!! and red onions
She now kicks really hard ... mainly during the time I'm trying to fall asleep :) If we look hard enough we can even see her moving...CRAZY but awesome.
Side note... pregnant bellies make really awesome halloween costumes...especially when you paint it to look like a gumball machine :)

Rylee LOVES the sound of her daddy's voice!
The other night he kept talking to her thru the walls of my, ever-growing, huge, belly. Everytime he said anything she would move around and kick like crazy. When he stopped...she stopped. This would happen everytime he spoke:! My hubby has developed a new trait that is drawing me to be even more in love with him... being a daddy :)

My sweet Rylee Grace,
Rylee, my baby girl, it was such great news to hear. We went from calling you "the baby, and it" to actually saying your name, Rylee, its music to my ears. We haven't even met, and I'm already so in love with you. You are such a huge part of our lives already. There are now, about 4 months left until we see your beautiful face, I know you are going beautiful already.
We're are so nervous about your arrival, I hope we're good parents, and I hope you love us. We can't wait until you make your grand entrance into our little world. I think your 'fur sister', Sammee, knows your in there. She likes to follow me around and rest her head on my, rapidly growing, belly that contains you inside. However, I'm not certain that she's as excited as we are for your arrival. She's tends to get a little jealous sometimes, so I'm not sure she'll like you stealing all of her attention. Give it some time though and I know you two will be the best of friends.
Daddy and I were talking about your bedroom yesterday. We have big plans. I hope you will like it. It was so cute seeing how your daddy was getting excited over his ideas, which were actually pretty great! He talks about you all the time, that he's going to have a little girl! When the doctor told us the news, he instantly started grinning from ear to ear, and his eyes filled up with tears. He told me a secret but you have to promise not to tell. He can't wait until you're old enough to ask him to join your tea parties, so you'll have to make sure you ask him. I think the thing he is most excited about, is singing you to sleep though. You will love it. He has an amazing voice that I'm sure you're already falling in love with.
You're growing so fast, and I can feel you move a lot more now. You're movements are more noticeable now. You're getting so big and strong. Keep up it!
Well little one its time for Mommy to get back to work. I love you with my whole heart. With every beat you hear, know that its beating with love for you.
Love You Forever,
Mommy

Dear little one,
Thank you for letting me know you're in there now :) Its so amazing now, not only knowing there is another human life living inside me, but to know feel you too. You're growing so fast other people are starting to be able to see that you are in there too. I already love you so much, and can't wait to see you again. Next time we'll all find out if you're a Heath or Rylee!!! I can't wait. Keep up the good work on strengthening those bones and muscles... I'll expect to start feeling more kicks really soon. Love you my sweet baby.
Always & Forever,
Mommy

12 Weeks!
Sorry, I'm a little late on the update from our last appointment.
Everything went really well for the most part. We were a little confused about what was going to happen at this appointment though. Turns out this wasn't the heart echo... That actually isn't until Oct! They did do a normal ultrasound, so we did get to see our, now much bigger, baby again! That was definitely my favorite part.
Our last ultrasound was only at 8 weeks, then it only looked like a little gummy bear with a flicker in the middle. This time, it actually looked like a baby! A head eyes, nose, lips, arms, fingers, toesies... It was so amazing. It definitely takes after Alex...moving everywhere, and it even jumped a couple of times. I think that was Alex's favorite part. Its so cute to watch him tell people about it moving so much. We still have to see the maternal fetal medicine doctor as well as our normal OB. They said they are treating it like a high risk pregnancy until they find out weather or not the baby does have a heart condition or not. They said right now everything looks good in the baby's development! When we were about to leave I had a dizzy spell and a horrible headache. They made me lay back down for a little while and took a couple test. My blood pressure was ok, but my blood sugar was only 65! She said a normal level is 100 to 110. So I guess we'll find out if everything is ok with that on Wednesday during our next appointment. Other than that everything was awesome, and it was great to see our little one again.

11 Weeks
Wow time is flying, almost done with the first trimester...whew. Morning, well all day, sickness is pretty much out the door but other symptoms are finding their way in. Heart burn, body aches, head aches...etc. But I'm sure once I see our baby's beautiful face, in now 6 months!, I won't remember any of stuggles I'm having now. Tomorrow we get the hear the baby's heartbeat again! We're going for the fetal heart echo, so its up close and personal with the baby. Last time we saw 'him or her', it was the size of a little gummy bear, now at 11 weeks, I read that the baby is the size of a lime... A LIME, wow! I can't wait to see how much its grown, bigger and in more detail. I'm a little nervous though. The only reason they have to do this is to make sure the heart has no holes or anything like it's daddy. My excitement to see little 'seasame' again pretty much cancels out most of worries. Besides, I know God's in control and already knows what the outcome will be. He will be there with us to help us though anything, no matter what we have to go though. I just pray that everything will be alright. I'll be back with an update tomorrow.

10 Weeks
Wow 10 Weeks already! I'm growing out of my clothes very quickly but I'm still not quite big enough to go the maternity clothes shopping. Basically... I just looking like I ate wayyy to much junk food. Sadly you can tell I'm a bigger but, unfortunately, no one can tell there's a baby in there (even though I feel like a balloon now) :( The most annoying part is when people say "oh you look the same to me"...barf. I feel like yelling back in their faces, "I can't fit into my clothes anymore and you think I look the same!!! ahhhh." Oh yeah...HORMONES! Awesome. I keep crying over little things, easily frustrated, getting mad over silly things, and am extremely happy... yeah, and these change in a matter of seconds by the way. And the good news... I'm no longer feeling nauseous ALL THE TIME, which I'm loving! Surprisingly, this changed just as fast as my mood swings. One night I was so sick I couldn't move and the next day completely fine. Whew this pregnancy thing is exausting.
Next appt: July 22 for the Fetal Echo Cardiogram. Stressing a little about the possibilities, but more than that I just can't wait to hear his/her heart again! :)

Week 9
Whew... finally everyone knows!.. Its so hard to keep such an exciting/ scary secret. We had some good, reassuring reactions, and some... well...just made me want to cry reactions. Thank you so much to everyone that gave us the good/ helpful ones.
Dear baby,
I know you're in there. Even though I can't physically feel you yet, I can definitely feel you're presence in there. I hope my coughing isn't bothering you too much. I'm trying to eat all the foods you're wanting, but its sometimes hard when you being in there is making me a little sick to my tummy. But I wouldn't mind feeling this way the whole time if it means in 31 weeks I'll see your little face. I wonder if you're a boy or girl, if you'll look more like me or you're daddy. I sure do hope you look the most like him. :) Sleep tight in there little gummy bear, you're growing so fast. I can't wait til I see you again.
Love,
Mommy

Tomorrow's the big day!... 1st drs appt. Now emotions are running wild, where concern and fear now have taken over all excitement I've had. I've always been one to think the worst... about everything. I guess my brain trys to keep me from getting hurt by expecting the worst that way, it wont be so tramatic if something IS wrong and anything better feels wonderful. I know, stupid concept, but as much as I try to get over it, the feeling doesn't get any better. I hope and pray that the only thing we hear tomorrow is a little heart beat and not the sound of...well, nothing...
