One week until Christmas!

Happy Friday and happy almost 11 weeks...time seems to be flying its so crazy to think that we are only two weeks away from our second trimester!

I had a midwife appointment on Monday, it went really well and I really like our midwife. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, caring and genuinely interested in our lives - which is a nice change from the typical doctor patient relationship.

A few more tests, some talking and an attempt to hear the heartbeat - which i didn't hear but our midwife said that i sound like a very healthy pregnant woman, and that the baby is just too small at this point in time to hear the heartbeat - its not uncommon to have to wait until 12 weeks to hear a heartbeat.

My theory is that God just didn't want me to hear the heartbeat before Mike so we now both have to wait for our ultrasound.

Feeling well - found out that one of my cousins, who lives down in Florida, and her husband welcome the newest member of their family to the world yesterday - Eleanor Dorothy or Ellie Dot for short! Mom and baby are doing fine. So exciting!!

This week also marked the first birthday of a Mr. James Lukes...my cousin's son! What a year it has been, but James is so loved and adored by Joey and our family - his birthday party is this weekend and of course, as with everything in life, Mike and I have to miss it! I just keep praying that we will find our way closer to home - I am not sure how much longer i can keep doing this!

I have done NO Christmas shopping - i am at a loss as to what to buy most of our family...oh well, i will try and get most of it done this weekend.

All for now - xoxo
