Brynn: the pregnancy

I had a wonderful pregnancy and actually didn't want it to end (until I got my one and only stretch mark..then it was time for her to come out!). We heard her heartbeat at our first appointment at 11 weeks (after searching for a few agonizing minutes!!) and told our whole family that following week at Thanksgiving. Our mid pregnancy ultrasound (done on January 20th) went well as did the gender reveal party that night (minus the whole cake mix up!). A special thank you to our friend Katie for designating which cake for us to cake and being the first official person to know the sex of our baby! A combination or our wedding, honeymoon and the holidays made the pregnancy fly by. The only uncomfortable symptoms came towards the end as Brynn grew and put increasing pressure on my nerves causing me to occasionally walk a little funny :) I slept well and continued to go on long walks until the very end. I worked up until the day before I delivered as I was able to work at home once I hit 40 weeks.
