7 Weeks

You all know the drill, I'm writing in real time - but not publishing until we have a little more information and are sure everything is ok with the baby. I'm apologizing in advance to all of you who have asked and I have boldly lied to your face. I hope you forgive me! :)

Here is the 7 week belly pic - September 4, 2013

Again this week, I looked at her belly and didn't think there was much growth.  Don't get me wrong, it still looks WAY bigger than I feel like it should be at 7 weeks, but it didn't seem bigger than last week. Even when I put the side-by-side, I didn't see a huge change.  When I sent it to my sister she thought it looked "fuller" - I guess I can go with that.

The baby is the size of a blueberry this week :)

As I'm writing this, it's September 8th and tomorrow we get to go to St. Louis to see the baby or babies heartbeats.  I just cannot contain myself.  It has been SO difficult to not tell people where we're going and even more difficult to not know if we're having one baby or multiple babies.  We are over the moon to be given the opportunity to be parents in the first place, we prayed for one baby - we are BLESSED to be expecting one baby.  But the thought of TWO babies - that just makes my heart beat faster.  Both excited and nervous beating to be honest.  The thought of more than two babies terrifies me - so we're not going to talk about that anymore right now.  :)

Among the things I'm most excited for after tomorrow's (September 9) appointment would be calling family who doesn't already know and FINALLY being able to press "Publish" on all of these posts I've been hoarding for weeks so I can keep all of you updated.  In addition, I'm excited to finally be able to stop lying to people's faces when they ask me for updates.  I thought that part would get easier, but it hasn't.

Thanks for all of your prayers, friends!
