I can't wrap my head around it...

It seems like days ago that we decided it was finally time to start a family. Within 2 months, (April 1, 2010) we found out that I was pregnant. Up until this past Friday, it didn't seem real. Then Justin and I went to the doctors, where we had the first ultrasound done. I heard the baby's heartbeat. It all became so real at that very moment. Right when I was about to get teary-eyed, the heartbeat got a little funky, and I couldn't help but laugh! (Let's face it, my kid's got great rhythm!)
December 4th, 2010 is the expected due date of baby Vining. Will it be a boy, or a girl? Will it have my eyes and Justin's hair? Will it be tall or short? I have a baby book that has questions for you to fill in your answers. One of those questions is "What dreams do you have for your child?" Personally I think that's one of the most asinine questions you could ever ask. But here's my answer.

I want my child to be born healthy, raised in a happy, loving home, and never have to endure anything that will make it hurt. I also want my child to make it's own decisions, be an individual, and most of all, not EVER live through anyone else's dreams. Be yourself, baby! Be yourself!

Love, Mom.
