23 Weeks!

Everything is still going smoothly with the pregnancy. Nolan is moving around a lot now and you can even see my belly move. Frank was able to feel him kick for the first time this past weekend. I think it made it more real for him. I just love feeling him move around and it makes me even more excited to meet him.
We're getting our birth plan in action and met with a doula last night. She was so sweet and I'm excited to be able to have her coaching me along this journey.
Here's the latest picture.

21 Weeks

Everything with the pregnancy has been going really well. I'm finally starting to feel pregnant and can feel Nolan move all the time, especially after I eat something with sugar. I haven't had any complications (knock on wood) and the doctor said everything is progressing perfectly. I've also made a few decisions regarding our birth plan. I'm going to try to do this thing naturally with the help of a doula. I know, I know, I can just hear everyone saying "you're crazy, get the epidural" but I really want to experience everything, at least for this first birth. My dance class is really helping me get prepared for natural childbirth and I've started doing some yoga at home. I think the techniques I've learned along with the help of a doula will get me through.
I've also been shopping a little here and there and have also received a ton of stuff from my mom. She's such an excited little grandma! I just had to post a picture of this bodysuit I bought. I couldn't pass it up!



Here's the latest belly picture as well. We're hoping to buy a nicer camera in the near future so hopefully we'll be able to post better pictures.
