Willcutts Baby 2 Update and Ady as a Swimmer

This week I had my OB appointment for WB2 (Willcutts baby 2), and it went really well. I have been a little more nervous with this pregnancy due to some cramps and pinching in my abdomen that I didn't experience with Ady. Everyone I asked kept telling me that all pregnancies are different so not to be too worried. It was hard to listen. I declined some medical testing, so our doctor wasn't going to do a 1st trimester ultrasound, but since I was a little concerned and have had the pinching, she decided to order one after all. Scott and I got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time at this doctor appointment, and we felt some peace after that. However, it was even more of a relief to get to have an ultrasound and see the baby up close! What a miracle it is to see that little 11 week old baby in there with a four chambered heart beating strongly (157bpm), two little arms wiggling, and two little legs kicking! Everything looked great, the ultrasound tech told us, so we are praising God for a healthy pregnancy. We are getting more and more excited to meet this little one!  Here is are two pictures from our ultrasound! Do you think it's a boy or a girl? We have our suspicions... but we wont know for another 6 weeks or so! 

This weekend we took Ady swimming at our gym. She hadn't gone swimming for a while, so she was a little nervous at first. Her memory came back quickly, though, and she loved it! She is such a sweet little girl, and we are loving this stage of toddlerhood that she is in. It definitely has its difficulties, but my goodness is it fun to watch her grow and learn. It seems like every day she is learning a new skill or sound. She also makes us laugh harder than anything in the world. What a ham! 

Here are some fun pictures from swimming! Hope you enjoy!!

Well, I guess that is about it for news this week! Enjoy your weekend. I am hoping to write one more blog this week, so stay tuned for that!

Blessings to you!
