Happy Heart Day and 23 weeks!

Happy Valentine's Day from the Hills and the 23 week old bump!

We have had a little mini vacation from work here in Charlotte. Due to all the snow, Justin and I have both been off since Tuesday! Kind of nice, I'm not going to lie! But I would much rather have some warmer weather! Most of you know I hate winter---down to my bones; I can't stand it! I hate wearing jackets, and shoes, and being cold, and having shorter days...really the only good thing about winter is college basketball and considering we are NC State fans, that isn't much to get excited about either!

Since we had been cooped up in the house for a couple of days, I was even more excited about our doctors appointment on Friday! This appointment was not nearly as exciting as the last ultrasound appointment, but it is always great to hear that sweet heartbeat!  The midwife was chuckling about how much this baby moves around. She was having a hard time hearing the heart beat for a long period of time because "Junebug" (my dad's new nickname for our no-name child) would not sit still.  I told Justin recently, this girl is going to be a gymnast---she is doing flips inside of me all day!

I have been able to feel her kick and flip for a couple of weeks now, but it wasn't until a few days ago that Justin could feel it too!  He didn't really know what he was feeling and I don't think it was what he was expecting, but I was excited!

We don't really do much for Valentine's Day each year, but we decided to go to a nice dinner last night. The place was packed---so that was annoying, but the food was really good!

My baby bump popped out a couple of weeks ago---so here is the first real "bump" picture!


My parents are coming this weekend to start on the nursery!! I can't wait to start!!
