14 weeks!

14 weeks! I'm so excited! I can't wait to get this darn exam behind me so I can fully enjoy my husband, my Hadley, and my pregnancy! Last night I was having trouble getting to sleep (and sleeping). For a while I was lying on my back with my hand on my lower belly. All of the sudden I felt this lump! I had felt it a few times during the night. It wasn't until that specific moment that I realized, "This is the baby!!" I would have immediately told Chris so he could feel too, but he was sound asleep.
