Heartbeat

So we went to see Dr. Harrison Tuesday April 27th, 2010, I was exactly 10 weeks pregnant and heard your heartbeat! I thought that we might get to have an ultrasound done but that was not the case. We are most likely going to have to switch doctors not because we don't like Dr. Harrison but because of insurance issues. So hopefully when we switch doctors we will get to "see" you via ultrasound. I don't know that I will ever be able to accurately put into words what it was like to hear your little heartbeat! It is a moment in time that I hope to be able to remember every detail of for the rest of my life. I will try to describe it as well as I can, your dad got to come with me which was really exciting then Dr. Harrison came in the room and got this little machine out of his pocket that I believe is called a Dopplar device and started moving it around on my stomach at first we heard a heartbeat and he was like "now that is your heartbeat we are looking for something about twice that fast" so he continued to search for you and sure enough he got to my lower left abdomen and there was this amazing fast strong heartbeat that made my world stop. I really thought I was going to cry but when it came down to it I was just in such awe that all I could do was listen. Your dad says he sounded like a strong boy heartbeat and I say it sounded like a fast girls heart beat, hopefully in the next 6 to 10 weeks we will find out who was right. Either way we are beyond excited and love you more than you might ever know!

Love,
Mom

9 Weeks

Ok so I really thought I would be better about keeping up with my updates on this blog since you are on your way but life has been busy, busy, busy! So at this point I think most everyone knows that you are on your way. People keep asking me if I think you are a boy or a girl, I think you are a girl but truth be known you and God are the only ones that really know what you are at this point. I can't believe that we are going to have to wait until around the first of July to find out! I am so excited to go back to the doctor this coming Tuesday, the 27th, your dad and I should get to see you and hear your heart beat for the first time I think. I know that all of this is really but at the same time I think hearing your little heart beat is going to make it all the more real. We are about 4 or 5 weeks from being in the second trimester which I am so ready for, I feel like after that I will be able to breathe a sigh of relief!

According to the app on my phone you are about the size of a prune but less wrinkled!

Love you,

Mom

OMG I Think You Might be on Your Way!

Ok so I can't really shout it from the roof tops yet but I have take four pregnancy tests that say that a little baby Crye is in the works! :) Your dad and I are just beside ourselves and don't even know what to think! This is that last thing we expected. Up until now I was she that we would either have to go to extreme measures or adopt due to certain circumstances but according to First Responce and Clear Blue Digital that is not the case! I took the tests on Thursday March 18th and told your dad that morning before I left for school (UCA that is). Then yesterday which would be Friday March 19th we told your Uncle Timmy and Aunt Tori because we were over at their new house. Next will be your Aunt Autumn because she lives in West Memphis I won't be able to tell her in person but I know she is going to be so excited! We aren't really telling too many people until I can go to the doctor and confirm everything. We are waiting to tell your grandparents on both sides until I go to the doctor as well just so we know that everything is going ok. I think that we are just too scared to get too excited because of the fear that something could go wrong. I prayed as hard as I could last night that everything would go ok and oh how I hope it does. Also little baby Crye inside of me we went out to eat last night to celebrate I guess you would say and we really liked our waitress' name, Audie, so don't be suprised if you are a girl if that turns out to be your name. OMG I still can't believe this could be real!

Love,
Mom

Names

Ok so the great name debate has been going on for almost as long as I can remeber Clinton and I even talking about children and we almost never agree. So I will share with you now what I would like to name our future children knowing that between now and then it will most likely change. This is also under the asumption that we have a girl, then boy, then girl.
Eden Harlow Crye
Declin Lewis Crye
and a the last girl I'm not completely sure but a new one that I like is
Pasiley Mae Crye

So your father or future father I guess I could say ask me last night if had extra baby fever. lol So I guess he is starting to think it is getting that time as well. I mean I know he has always wanted kids but I think that we both are really starting to want to start a family. So here is hoping that the Crye family goes from 2 to 3 in the near future!

Love,
Mom

To my future "Crye Baby":

I hope one day when the time is right I will be able to become a mother to you, and hopefully you will have bothers and/or sisters as well. I think I have been training to become a mother for a very long time, just ask your Aunt Kiley and Aunt Abbey! I am starting this blog and I don't even know when you might come into our lives but hopefully this will let you know how much you were loved before you even existed! The posts may not be consistent yet however I hope to blog about before you were conceived , then about my pregnancy or adoption process, and then your childhood! My hope is that one day I can show this to you as well as share it with the world so that everyone might know how much you mean to us!

Love,

Mom
