Baby Harris 2.0 & Amelia update

We had our 13 week check-up last week and all looks good thus far. We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time...it's such a beautiful thing. I remember when I was in the hospital hours prior to delivering Amelia they had the fetal heart monitor hooked up continuously and I asked them to leave it turned up so that I could hear it...it was the most refreshing and relaxing thing for a mother-to-be's ears. I wish I could have a monitor at home to listen to the heart beat and fall asleep. Maybe I need to get one of those womb-simulators for myself. Ok, I won't go that far.

Next appointment is on December 16 when we find out if we're having a boy or girl. None of us really have a preference but Tyler insists he's doomed to be surrounded by women his entire life so this one might as well be a girl. My dad insists it's going to be a boy. Amelia changes her mind daily. And I truly can't tell this time around. Not that it'd matter, I was wrong last time.

Amelia has started to get excited about being a big sister. She's been asking to wear her "I'm gonna be a big sister" shirt for the past week!

Amelia has been taking care of me like she's the mom ... it's the sweetest thing. She's always asking me if my belly hurts. If I say no she asks if my back hurts. (She must hear Tyler asking me these types of things) Last night I was really tired after we gave her a bath and Tyler told her he was going to read books to her tonight...she proceeded to tell me, "it's okay mommy, lay down" and jumped off our bed, grabbed Tyler's hand and they walked into her bedroom. She is SO smart for a 2 year old — she's just amazing to us. If I sit on the floor she gets me a pillow to put behind my back — talk about conscientious!
