2 months later (3 months pregnant)

Regina is starting to show finally. We get to see our little baby today at Dr. Whales office and im so excited to see him or her again. Reginas morning sickness is finally starting to ease up. Since we found out, she had been sick all day every day until last week. She is a trooper. I never had it so rough when i was pregnant with Henry. The only problem i had with him was some intense low back and pelvic pain in the last trimester. I hate seeing my wife suffer in any way though.
I talk to the baby all the time. Regina laughs at me sometimes because i lay my head in her lap and face her belly, talking and pressing little kisses onto where the baby rests inside her. I havent gotten to feel a kick yet but that will come in time. Her bump is so cute. I cant wait to watch her grow as the baby grows. Every night i rub coco butter on her belly after she showers to help her skin as it grows not to hurt or itch. I remember how annoying the itchiness was as i got bigger with Henry. And she was so small to start with i know its going to be worse for her. I try to make her feel like the most special person in the world every day. Because to me she is. She deserves to be pampered and doted on while she's pregnant especially.

Im getting ready for my doctor appointment and i feel warm arms and hands wrap around me and rest gently on my bump. Im in pants and a bra so its just my bare skin that shes resting on. I lean back into her embrace as she kisses behind my ear. "Good morning beautiful. Are you excited about seeing baby bean today?" I smile at her in the mirror. "Yes im excited. Im over the moon. Especially now that i havent had morning sickness for a week and can finally eat. Ive lost almost 20 lbs with this pregnancy already, i was starting to worry. I hope we get to find out the gender today. I know we probably wont but he said he will try. 12 weeks of pregnancy already. Can you believe it? It has flown by so fast. I cant wait to hold this little darling in my arms."
Emma grips me just a little tighter before she lets go. "Its definitely gone super fast. Only 28 more weeks and we get to see our little miracle and hold them and take them home with us. Im so excited to meet them and see their little face. I hope they look just like you. Either way, they will be ours forever." The way she talks about our baby and our future almost brings me to tears.
After the appointment

Im so glad we got to see our precious baby today. Unfortunately we didnt get a read on the gender because baby was turned away from us. But we did get a beautiful side profile picture of our littlest one to go in our pregnancy book with the rest of the ultrasound pictures. I love getting to hear the heartbeat every appointment. It almost makes me being high risk worth it because we get to see and hear baby every week. Watching him or her grow and thrive inside me is the most rewarding and satisfying experiences in my life.
Even though we didnt get to find out the gender, Emma and i are finishing up our planning of our gender reveal. We had the idea of combining our magic and creating fireworks in either pink or blue. We will know the gender but we want it to be a surprise for our friends and family. We will definitely find out by next week what the gender is because we will be doing a blood test. The gender reveal party wont be for a couple more months though. I just cant wait to start talking names and buying baby clothes and decorations for the nursery. We already have a crib and a portable bassinet. They are pearl white and the crib has beautiful wooden railings that transition into a toddler bed for when baby gets bigger.
I place my hand on my stomach and gently talk to the baby while i sit in the rocking chair in the nursery. Its just me and our little miracle right now and i talk to them at every opportunity when im alone. "Today was an exciting day, little one. Me and your Mama got to see you and hear your heartbeat. We cant wait to meet you. Your big brother is so excited that his summer break is when you are going to be born. He cant wait to hold you and love on you either. You have the best big brother in the world. And two mommies who love you so much they can barely believe it. I love you my little nugget." I sit back and close my eyes for a minute.

I cant find Regina and its got me kind of worried. She left her phone in the kitchen, so i search the house until i get to the nursery. Regina is sitting in the rocking chair fast asleep with her hand on her baby bump. I stand there in awe of the sight for a little while. I know if i dont wake her, shes going to have a sore neck and back from her position. So i walk up and place one hand on top of her hand and stroke her face with the other. "Baby, wake up my love. You are going to be sore if you sleep like this. Why dont you go take a nap and ill come lay with you for a little while?" She smiles and stands. "That sounds perfect, Emma. When we wake up ill make us some dinner. Come cuddle me."
She takes my hand and pulls me to our bedroom just across the hall. I pull back the covers for her to get in and click the light off after turning the fan on her. Ever since she has been pregnant, she runs really hot especially when she sleeps. I get in bed behind her and wrap her in my arms. "Thank you Emma. For this life you've given me. Without you id have nothing and noone. I love you." I smile and stroke her arm before letting my hand rest over hers on her belly. "I love you Regina. So much more than you will ever know. Go to sleep my love." I press a kiss to the side of her head and i watch her drift off until i fall asleep myself.
