We got back from Arkansas on Saturday. It was great, very relaxing. We just hung around at our cabin and walked around downtown hot springs. We even got a couple's massage on Friday which was awesome. I don't think Tommy enjoyed it as much as I did because he was a little unsure about getting a massage. But it was still very relaxing. But now we're both back at work and back to the real world! Have a great monday...and a great birthday for Tommy!

Happy Birthday Tommy!

Happy birthday Tommy! You are such an amazing husband. I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing day because you deserve the best. And just remember you will always be older than me :-)

I love you!

Milestones: Hearing the heartbeat loud and clear.

I finally got over the cold I had last week. Thankfully it was not the flu. All I was able to take was Tylenol cold so luckily that helped and I think I'm back to normal now. We had our monthly doctors appt last Thursday and everything sounded great. The doctor was able to find the heartbeat right away. It was 162 bpm this time. I was able to record it on my phone and let everyone hear it at a birthday party for my cousin Saturday. I'm still waiting for my belly to pop. As of now it just looks like I'm fat rather than pregnanct. I'm sure it will come soon enough though.
