Baby Diary: milestones

some of the "pregnancy milestones" you go through seem like the biggest deal to you, but they are not that big of a deal to basically everyone else. but. because they are such a big deal to me, and this is my blog, i'm gonna do an entire post about them just so they get the attention i feel they deserve. :)

found out we were pregnant: 7 weeks
first saw the baby via ultrasound: 9 weeks
heard her heartbeat for the first time: 9 weeks
threw up: never (knock on wood)

called the doctors office "just to make sure": 18 weeks
started lactating: 18 weeks

hit the halfway point: 20 weeks
found out her gender: 24 weeks

  1. Love everything about this! Well except it depends on who the stranger who touches your belly is. hahah

    But you did forget to mention the first time she made her Grandpa Vance cry. That is a day I will never forget. :-)
