thump thump thump

We had another checkup today and got to see our little baby's tiny heartbeat. There is nothing like sitting in the doctor's office and seeing that little flicker on the screen. We are so thankful to have reached this milestone in the pregnancy. I have been feeling well so far too...just more hungry and a little extra tired (not that I can do much about that these days!).


Laila is continuing to walk better and better every day, and is beginning to assert her independence in wanting to do so. Most of the time when I carry her now, she launches herself off of me in order to walk. Unfortunately she's not good at following directions yet, so she just wanders off exploring instead of following me. Going to the mall is very different now...it's hard to shop when you can't take your eyes off of your roaming child! Today, she decided to push her stroller around outside Nordstrom for about 15 minutes.
