Hellobee Boards

Aww, totally not sappy and i completely understand. Especially now that she's past the 1 year mark and is no longer a baby. I still can't believe she's here!

Yep, I think it's pretty awesome that together we made a heart!

(And, you know, lungs and a brain and legs and fingers and all the rest

Yes! I did this yesterday - I was just staring at her sleeping and was mesmerized at how she was created and developed into the little human before me.

@Running Elley: When we had our first ultrasound we were both super nervous about there not being a heartbeat because of the miscarriage. When the tech said "There's most definitely a baby in here", and turned the screen to show us the heartbeat DH said "Look honeybee, we made a heart"...and I lost it (full down the cheeks tears as opposed to blinking back watering eyes from seeing it). Sometimes when he's really sleepy and will lie quietly on his back I like to put my ear to his chest and listen to his heartbeat and I always think "We made that."

@hilsy85: one time while i was pregnant i was out shopping with my younger sister and while we were waiting to check out she asked, "is it weird to have a baby inside you?!" i replied, "no, but it's really weird to think i constantly have a penis inside me!"

i got some dirty looks from the people in line with us!

It always blows my mind that I grew these little people in my belly and now they are out in the world thriving! I can't even keep plants alive! And the way they love me so much even though I don't deserve it.... just amazing

@FutureMrsMcK: Oh yes, tears! What a beautiful thing to say.

Yep! After having so many issues, sometimes I just squeeze her tight because I can't believe she's actually here safe and sound!

all the time!
there were so many birthday candles I wished for J on, and here he is. I tell him all the time he's the best thing that ever happened to me.

Every day. Love this girl.

ALL.THE.TIME. I get all sappy and my heart swells up. And then I get letdown..bahaha! Seriously though, she's so precious after our first heartbreak and I can't believe we were lucky enough to have her! I am not religious at all and I feel like very baby is a "blessing" or a gift!

@hilsy85: it's like you read my mind! i was just thinking this tonight when putting my LO's to bed. it's truly amazing....

@FutureMrsMcK: And cue full on emotional breakdown! That's so sweet!!!! Omg I just remembered the post on WB the day after you MC'd and how devastating it was... Gosh it doesnt seem like that long ago. What a blessing that your sweet E is here now!! (Downer but it just popped into my head)

@photojane: To be fair, I'm totally a sap all the time (even when not pregnant) and I'm quite the crier but the pregnancy hormones are very convenient haha

Yes! Having LO has changed the parameters and the definition of *amazing*.

@hilsy85: yes! I think that all the time. It's crazy that she came from one little part of my husband and I into this amazing human being.

I think like this all the time, and how she is such a mix of our personalities (even though she looks like DH's mini me.) And how each day she learns so much, it just seems crazy that she's so smart and how the human brain works! ha
