This photo was taken at 11 weeks, and Baby Heiner is facing the wrong way for the picture, but I wanted to post a picture of our little one on here! I am now 16 weeks and on October 24th, we will be getting a new and updated picture of our little one!! We are expecting this little addition to arrive on March 10th, 2012 and can not tell you how excited we are! I am now fully grasping the fact that this is really happening and that I am going to be a mommy! This is something that I have thought about for years and it is so overwhelming that in just 24 weeks, we will finally get to meet face to face here on Earth! I am so happy to be able to hold and just look at this baby! I know our connection is going to be like no other and that is something I cannot wait to experience! I am beginning to feel a love for this child with it just being the size of an avocado right now I know that that love will grow just like this baby will : )
I am now over my first trimester hump and am feeling a lot better, I am so grateful for the help that everyone around me gave. From pregnancy teas and fish oil to just the support of knowing how exhausted I am even from getting 8 hours of sleep! I know this child is coming into a world full of love and I feel so blessed to be the mother! I love watching other mothers and seeing their joy that they have from their little ones and knowing the love my parents have had for me all my life, I just know that this child is going to have a blessed life! ( a little confident I know) I am so excited to see the love that my husband has for this child as well! He is going to be an amazing father and I know that this is something he is going to work hard at with me! He is an amazing, hardworking man who always puts his full all into anything! We are both blessed to have had amazing examples as parents so we can learn from each of them and teach our children of love, charity, and faith just like our parents.
I want so much for this baby, I want to be an amazing mother, and want to give my child knowledge and purpose for this life. It is a little intimidating because I know that at times in my life I am the worst example of living life with purpose and not being lazy, or just being afraid of what man might think of me rather than doing what my Heavenly Father wants me to do. But, this life is a learning experience and we have to take from these experiences and not let them hold us back but grow from them. This is easier said than done and I am continually working at it each day. But, I want my baby to know that there is forgiveness in life and that is why Jesus died for us, so we can live life and not fall back from our mistakes. Anyways, I am getting off track, all in all, I want the most for my baby just like any other parent.
