Getting closer!

Hello my darling! We are getting closer and closer to meeting, and it is so nice to feel you moving around in my bump! I had a doctor's appointment today, and I got to hear your heart beat again :) It is such an amazing experience to hear a little being in there just growing away. Your dad is in Washington right now and going to hike Mt.Rainier. I must say, I always worry about him when he goes places like this, just because it is a few days that I don't hear from him at all. It really makes me happy to know that I am not all alone here. You are with me, and I am having so much fun being pregnant. I exercise a lot, and eat very well for us. I do normally have a sweet tooth, but I really only crave fresh fruit and breads. So if you were to be what I eat during my pregnancy, you would be a loaf of break or ripe orange! Both good things...mmmm! We have definitely given you a name, and it's Olivia! We love it, and we love you dearly. We thank Heavenly Father everyday for your presence here! We are going to have so much fun together, I can't wait! I love you so much.

PS: I am going to be 27 weeks on 7/27/12! 6.75 months and counting!
Love, Mom

23.5 Weeks!

Wow! I can't believe that it's been this long since I found out I was going to have you! I am just more excited every day to meet you! I think that I tell your dad that all the time, and he just smiles and nods- telling me that he is really excited too! It did take us 3 years to concieve, but at the same time, when I think about it I know that this was the plan. It think that it is the right timing for us all. It makes me happy to know and feel that this is our plan as a family. A little family of three we will be!
As the earlier post said, we are supposed to embarrass you as parents...so let the rhyming begin! :) Everyday I think of what you will look like- who you will look like! If I will see my brother in you, or more of your grandma's. Which, by the way, would not be a bad thing! They are beautiful women! They are so excited for your birth and delivery into this world.
I was always told this growing up, and I want you to know that it will hold true for our relationship too. My parents always let me know that I could always come to them and talk about anything. It really helped me to be myself and confide in my parents. I love them dearly, and want you to know that you can come to me with anything and everything. The same goes for your dad. We will be there for you! We love you so much, so keep growing and we will see each other in just a few short months!

Lactation Station

Hey girl,
Your mom and I just got back from Seaside celebrating our six year anniversary. We had a great time, thinking about you mostly. Hard not too w/ so many people flying kites and building sand castles w/ their kiddos.

Okay...see you in a little bit! Oh, and the title says it all. Mom's body has started getting ready for your arrival as of last night. You're probably going to be grossed out by this later, but that is pretty much our job to embarrass you. We'll usually say something like, 'You're going to thank me for this later'.
You won't :) ...But we still love you.
