Monkey movement

Tonight our amazing surrogate texted me to say that her suspicions were confirmed today...she can feel our monkey squirming!! I cried, I think Shorty cried. What an amazing feeling to know that our little Bennett is moving around in there :-) I just have no words to explain how I feel right now. :-)

Beats and baby

Omg..it's been so crazy around here that I have been a terrible blogger! We heard Baby Bennett's heart beat loud and clear! It was an awesome moment. Solid and strong at 142 BPM. (all the old wives tales say that means it's a boy but I'm sticking with girl lol) This week we are the size of an avocado. Muscles are developing and his/her face can display some expressions. Our little monkey weighs almost 3 ounces! :-) Next step...we get to see Baby Bennett on ultrasound in just a few weeks!! Though we will NOT be finding out the sex we are so very excited to get to see him or her. It really is going quickly we are almost to the halfway point!! On a separate note...we are fighting our way to buy a house. we were supposed to close tomorrow and then a week ago something showed on a credit report that shouldn't have and now....well we may or may not be homeowners before the baby arrives. It is probably a good thing that I am not the pregnant one because this is a ton of stress right now and that would really take it's toll.
