Baby Bump

Well I am at 19 weeks now, we are almost halfway done! Which means halfway to meeting our sweet baby girl! I'm growing more and more everyday! I love seeing my belly grow, its such an amazing experience and I have never felt so blessed. I sure wish that Ryan could be here to enjoy this experience with me but I know he is doing something very important for all of us! And when we talk on yahoo messenger with the web cam he is always asking to see my belly. Or as he says..."let me see my baby"! Ha Its so awesome to see his face light up.

Well I have been to the doctor a few times now and thankfully all the test have come back negative. So we have a healthy little baby growing! I am so thankful to know that everything is going as it should, its such a relief to know everything is well. I am moving back home so I will have to go find a new doctor but at least I get to go to a private doctor now which I feel will be more personable. I did get another ultrasound but the pictures didn't come out well so when I get the next one I will put those up.

I felt her kick for the first time last week. I was laying in bed and felt a weird thump. At first I had no idea what it was and then a few seconds later she did it again and at that moment I knew what it was. I layed there feeling her kick and yes I did cry! It was such an awesome feeling, the most awesome thing I have ever felt in my life. Now she kicks alot. Its still small little kicks but I love it when she does. I tried to let mom feel it but when she puts her hand on my belly she cant feel it, and neither can I with my hand. I guess she has to get a little bigger and stronger before other people can feel it.

I cant even put into words how thankful I am to be able to go through this wonderful experience. I am so excited to be a mommy! God has truly blessed Ryan and I and I cant wait until our sweet daughter is here with us!

Well alot has happened since my last post so here is an update! First of all today marks a month that Ryan has been gone. He was originally supposed to leave on October 29th but that didn't work out! Well we took him, hung out for a few hours and finally said our goodbyes. We left around midnight and around two am he called and told us that his flight got canceled and to come pick him up. It sure was hard to say goodbye and then have to do it all over again the next night but I feel that we were blessed to have another night together. And it actually was much easier the second night. Now that a month has passed I know each month will get easier!

Ryan is doing good, he is currently in Iraq and working very hard! He took some pictures and his brigade also put some pictures up of him on facebook. It so great to see his face and to see him smiling. It also helps seeing where he is instead of having to wonder what it looks like. Lets all remember that it can be difficult for our soldiers that are overseas and it always helps to get letters, cards, and anything you would like to send. So here is his current address and his command says they will be moving around alot so as the address changes I will let everyone know!
Sgt Ryan Scott
A-Troop
3-7 CAV
FOB Diamonback
APO AE

To my wonderful husband...Baby I am so proud of you! You are my hero and I don't know where I would be without you. Thank you so much for sacrificing a year of your life so that all of us can have these wonderful safe lives. I know this time will go by fast and before you know it we will be together again. Keep your head up and stay focused on your mission so you can make it home safely to me and our baby that will be here soon!

Here are some pictures of my handsome soldier...
