New Year's Eve

It's New Year's Eve, y'all. 2013 has quite literally been the best year of my life. I married my best friend. I graduated with my Bachelor's degree. I found out we're expecting our first baby. *N Sync had a reunion on the MTV Music Awards. I mean seriously - does it get much better than that? I am so blessed. I cannot wait to see what 2014 has in store for me. I especially cannot wait to meet our little boy or girl.

I think my husband and I will be announcing our pregnancy soon. I'm pretty stoked. Not going to lie. 

And with that - it's time to lay down and relax. Tonight I'll be toasting with sparkling cider rather than champagne to the New Year and I'm totally cool with that. 

Beating Heart, Baby

Monday I had my what-felt-like-it-took-forever-to-make-it-to doctor's appointment. It's tough going from 6 weeks to 10 weeks without an appointment. So much changes in that time! #patienceisavirtueiknow

We heard the heartbeat for the first time and it was a magical experience. I could have laid there and listened to it all day. It was a quick 163 bpm. The nurse said that's really good so, I was excited about it. My husband was sad because he said he didn't really hear it, but I think he wasn't quite sure what he was listening for. I also think he heard it because he was imitating the sound. Either way - I heard it and it was fucking awesome. 

Our next appointment is a little over a week away and we'll be 12 weeks by then! I can't wait to see an ultrasound where the baby actually kinda sorta looks like a baby. 

10 Weeks

I've been bouncing back and forth between Blogger and Tumblr trying to decide where I want to plant this blog. It's the most important blog I've ever had (and I've had lots). I think this may be where I stay.

I can't wait to not be anonymous anymore and make this blog more personal. Two more weeks and we should be golden! And let's talk about the waiting game - this pregnancy is going to teach me a lot. Especially about patience which is something I have struggled with my whole life. Cheers to new experiences!

So...

Vanessa Loring: Your parents are probably wondering where you are.

Juno MacGruff: Nah .. I mean, I'm already pregnant, so what other kind of shenanigans could I get into?
