The new Bagley


Here is the one of the first glimpses of our little boy! We are so excited for him to get here! We are especially grateful that everything is going well and that he is healthy!

Our 28 week check up was this last week and he is 2 lb. 12 oz- he is growing so fast! I feel like my stomach is growing every second. He has been very active the past few days, I wish I could just peek inside and see what he is doing in there!
