What's going on with Little Hoff
Size - About the size of a lime
(just over 2 inches long from crown to rump)
Developing - Reflexes, Little Hoff is opening and closing it's fingers and curling it's toes. Little Hoff is clenching it's eye muscles and making sucking movements with it's mouth.
We got to hear lil' Hoff's heartbeat this week. Totally amazing! It was beating so fast and I looked at Farmboy and he had this fabulous grin on his face that melted my heart.
Lil' Hoff kicked the doctor when he was trying to find the heartbeat. In my mind I have a lime in my stomach, not a kicker. But oh wow! I spend most of my appointments in awe of the newness I am experiencing.

What's going on with Me
1. I'm going away this weekend with some Church Friends to Branson. I am nervous, because none of them know and as I was packing my snack bag for the whole weekend (which was no small feat) I began to worry about what the ladies might think of my snack bag and if I can really pull this off.
2. Getting very excited about my doctor's appointment, it is only 3 days away. Farmboy is going to go with me and I can't wait to hear the heartbeat.
3. Grandparents have GOT to find out this week. I am sure that we can not keep this a secret anymore and I don't want them to hear from someone else.
4. Word is officially out in the community that I am pregnant. I am getting texts/email from friends saying congrats! I honestly never expected this to be such big news. I figured that it would slowly trickle out. I am pretty sure that all of our little town and church has found out. That is what happens when you have very excited grandparents.
5. Women of Joy was wonderful! It always is good to renew and refill your spiritual life you leave as if you are on top of the world and God is right there with you. If only I could get caught on on the sleep I lost over the weekend.
6. Farmboy left me a not on the counter (as I was taking my 4 hour nap on Sunday after getting home from Woman of Joy) and it said he was so happy to have me and Lil' Hoff in his life. Besides being pregnant and just knowing you have a miracle inside of you, having Farmboy beside me thru it all has been amazing. He is plum goofy over this baby already and it's the size of a lime. I can't wait to find out what it is so that we can actually start visualizing what it might look like and to start picking out names.
7. I love the looks on people's faces when they find out that we are pregnant, it's just shock!

8. I had my first cup of coffee since finding out I was pregnant. It was soooooo good. I miss caffeine.
9. I gained a pound since my last appointment.
10. I have my next appointment in 4 weeks on May 31st. There is a chance I should be feeling the baby move by then, but the doctor said if not, then don't worry. How exciting is that going to be?
11. More and more people at church are finding out. I have figured out that telling people that someone is pregnant is like a very intense game of tag. Nobody wants to be the last one "tagged" so they go around telling everyone they know so that you know you are still in the game and not standing on the sidelines.
12. It honestly shocks me every time we tell someone or when someone comes up to me to tell me congratulations. Even people who aren't that close to you want to hug you and tell you how excited they are for you. I forget all to easily how blessed I am with so many people in my life who care about me.
13. When people find out that I am pregnant the next question is What does Farmboy think? Or How is Farmboy handling it? I just want to say one of these times, "I'm not 100% sure that it's his" with just as straight of a face as I can. How funny would that be? Maybe I just think it's funny. And yes, it is defiantly his.
14. People are starting to come up to me at restaurants to congratulate me.
15. I can't tell somebody that I'm pregnant without tearing up.
16. I cried when Steve Carroll said good-bye to everyone at "The Office"
