I have set up a CaringBridge page!
It's a way for us to share ultrasounds, pictures, and stories privately. A lot of the "journal entries" are copied posts from here, but there will be extra information and pictures posted from time-to-time. So check it out!

Coming Soon: Baby Bump
The bump is starting to show everyone! Right now it looks like a little plump tummy, but it's definitely growing. My jeans are starting to fit snuggly, my stomach is filling into a round bump, and I can tell a perfect baby bump is heading our way!
I don't think I've ever been this excited about outgrowing clothes and gaining weight. But I am.
Come on, baby Long! :)

Happy Healthy (Dancing) Baby!
Yesterday morning was magical. And perfect. Everything went really well at the doctor.
Our baby is perfectly healthy. He/she was up on the huge flat screen TV monitor and I just looked in awe. Yeah. I guess this is really happening. Phillip and I watched as the heart beat like crazy at 180 bpm and his/her arms moved up and down in a dancing movement. It was kind of adorable.
We were so relieved to have a baby they kept calling "perfect" at the doctor. So thankful to hear a beautiful heartbeat and see movement. Excited for what the future will hold. Ready to start the planning process to prepare for the arrival of our first-born.
That moment with Phillip was indescribable. Sharing that with the one you love more than anything is a special moment already, but to be with someone just as excited as me, and someone who is willing to sit through a doctor's appointment is even better. He was such a trooper and supports me through everything. I pretty much love him.
Thankful for our "gummy bear"! [Ultrasound tech called the baby that, so it's sticking.]

On the Eve of Ultrasound Numero Uno
Tomorrow is my first ultrasound. I am too excited and too nervous all at once.
It turns out, Phillip IS able to go to this appointment and I am so happy he won't be missing a thing. He'll get the hear the heartbeat at the same time I do. It'll be a very special moment for the two of us. I couldn't ask for a better man to be the father of my children and my husband for the rest of my life. He really is that good. Really.
I'm just hoping everything goes well tomorrow. There is that slight nervousness that something could be wrong with this raspberry I'm carrying. I'm praying everything is perfect and also for a great moment for our new little family.
I'll let you know how tomorrow goes. However, I will not be posting ultrasound pictures. Sorry followers. I decided a long time ago that when Phillip and I have a family (which is now) that our lives wouldn't be chronicled heavily online via pictures. It's a soap box of mine. I don't want our kids growing up to find these permanent pictures of them plastered online without their say-so.
Therefore, no ultrasound picture and future in-person pictures will be limited. Reach my by email if you want pictures. I'll be glad to send some!
