Baby Connell and my new photos

(this photo is of the side view of our baby)

What a fabulous day! Pat and I had an ultrasound today and we had the best news ever. The baby is measuring 12 weeks and 3 days (a couple days bigger than our 12 week and 1 day that we thought we were) but that is great. And our baby's heartbeat was 160! Today was the first day that both Pat and I really exhaled. It was so amazing to go to the doctor and have fabulous news that everything is going well. We saw our baby's spine and brain forming. It was amazing.
I am so thankful for today and do not take it for granted for a minute! It is the most incredible thing in the world to know that you have a human life growing inside of you. That God trusted you and loved you enough to give you the most amazing gift in the world...a child. We are 2 of the luckiest people in the world!

And as promised, here is me with my little baby tummy. Pat and I went shopping a lot in the past couple weeks for maternity clothes that I am now wearing 100% of the time. It is just crazy how quickly my body has changed to house this little baby. I put on my first pair of maternity jeans on December 3rd and have not gone back since. They are the most amazing things in the world. Even non maternity tops now are too short. I have completely switched out my closest and have only 100% maternity clothes which makes it a lot easier to get dressed in the morning. So fun! It feels so wonderful to feel so pregnant and to know that today our baby is as healthy as can be. So I will just continue to pray and put all my trust in God. This will be quite the ride!
I cannot believe that in 6 months we will meet this little angel! I honestly cannot wait!
xoxo
