Look out -here I come! Well, I think the secret is out now.... Yes, I'm pregnant. I know, I know, crazy right? But I guess there's no hiding it now! Here I am at 29 weeks and 3 days. It's going by so fast!We had an eventful appointment yesterday - full of pricks and pokes and sugary drinks. But the big payoff was having another ultrasound! It's amazing to compare our first ultrasound pictures at 18 weeks to the ones we got yesterday at 29 weeks. Isaac has grown so much! He has chubby little cheeks and the most darling face along with a strong heart and active arms and legs. We watched his heart beat and saw him squirm around and kick a few times before he got the hiccups. No wonder I feel his hiccups so strongly - they shake his whole body! After a little while he had both hands at his face, and he looked like he was rubbing his eyes. He is approximately 3lbs, 10 oz and oh so adorable!!! And in conclusion, we also confirmed that he is indeed all BOY. There is no mistaking it! But I will echo Eric in saying we won't be posting his "groceries" on the internet. ;)
Kevin had to go to work after that, but Mom and I stayed to meet with my doctor. And then he broke the news....
"So it looks to me like this baby is going to be early. We've moved your estimated due date to July 19."
Uh, come again? What was that you said? July 19??
"He could still be as late as August 3, but because of his current size and growth, I think he's going to be more on the early side."
Woah. That's in like... 2 MONTHS!
"Yep!"
So we shall see when Isaac decides to join us! And as I'm letting this new date sink in, I'm getting all the more excited to hold him and kiss him and cuddle him and feed him and dress him up and show him off to everyone and rock him and sing to him and LOVE HIM. Once again, seeing him on that screen brought me to love-filled tears. How precious he already is to us! What a blessing the Lord has bestowed on us!

You are such a beautiful pregnant mommy, Rachel. I'm glad you post pictures so we can follow your progress. Wow, so little Isaac may come early! Hang on to your hat, it'll be here before you know it! Enjoy these last days of him wiggling around inside you. Its such a miracle. I'm glad things are going well, and that you got to spend some good time with your mom.
So sweet.. you are going to make a great mommy!! He's going to soak up all of that love! And what a huge blessing to think he might come early! As I told both of my kids (in utero)- "It's okay to come early honey. You'll be fine. They have machines for this kind of thing. Mommy thinks you are done cooking. Now come on out." Yeah, didn't work... 9 days late with Caleb and induced with Kenna, but one can always hope, right?
The doctor was close-I think it will be July 16 actually. LOL
If you find yourself canning cherries like crazy in July-just stop and head for the hospital-it's time. ;)
