To say I was nervous for this appointment is an understatement, I am finally 15 weeks, almost halfway there. The past few months have been pretty.. quiet. I don't have a ton of pregnancy complaints other than being forever tired and wanting to eat 24/7 but other than that, things feel great. I am starting to feel little butterflies in here which feels weird but the term "I'm pregnant" still doesn't feel real. Of course I know there is a little person in here, but I don't know at the same time. I promise I know that makes no sense but just pretend it makes sense.
Walking into the clinic felt strange, I was comfy and wore casual clothes but still felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb. A big headed, dark chocolate sore thumb to be exact. Dr. Cherry always had that welcoming smile that she gave me, I feel safe with her. Genuinely safe, I am happy to know she will be the one to help me bring this baby into the world in a few months. She's very kind, patient and thorough, I've never felt confused after an appointment with her. Moonlight Creek Medical is such a great clinic, it's very inviting and I feel at peace being at the facility.
After greeting my doc at the entrance, she took me to the room in the back with the ultrasound clinic, I stared at the lavender flowers that hung from the ceiling and sighed as I feel the fresh air in the room. I glanced at the bed and the machine in the corner of the room and just sighed as I took Cherry's hand and laid back. She had grabbed a bottle of the new Ultrasound Gel from Mamadeue and spread it across my tummy before booting up the machine. She took measurements of my little love and calmly said, "Your baby is looking beautiful and proportionate, would you like to know the gender?" Feeling a gasp of relief strike my face as I blurted out, "She's okay?" Dr. Cherry smiled as she looked at me, "You're correct, she is a she." Those were the words I was anxious about, my little girl is coming soon.

Northern Alabama has been at a standstill since Sunday due to freezing temps, winter storm warnings and wind advisories. Schools and businesses have been closed all week and I am getting a bit stir crazy! A few extra days off work is nice but I’m over it now and beyond over the cold! This photo was inspired by an actual RL photo someone shared on Facebook and I loved her…
