24 weeks today (she is measuring almost 25)

Pregnancy thus far has been a breeze! Anything that bothers me is so insignificant that I barely remember it or register it as anything different from something bothering me when i am not pregnant! I get winded when climbing stairs, sleeping is getting MUCH trickier (hip pain and you sit on my bladder), very HUNGRY, but really nothing HUGE those things are so little!

I cannot WAIT to get your bedroom together, daddy and I are so busy getting everything picked out and ready so it is perfect for you. :)

We are also opening a home childcare so we are VERY busily trying to get that together so I don't have much to do when the you come and I can open after about a month and a half bonding time with you :)

Feeling good! I can't believe you will be here in 3 and a half months!! Love you so much already...our beautiful little girl! :)

Daddy felt you move!!

Hey little girl! Daddy felt you move last night (11/11/09)!! It was so exciting, you kicked him!! :) We read you your nightly story of Goodnight Moon and then snuggled and talked. I felt you moving all around so I put daddy's hand on my belly and you kicked him twice!! I am so excited he got to feel you like I been! We love you so much! Keep moving in there and grow to be big (not toooo big) and strong....

Love,

Mommy & Daddy

Daddy's home!!!

So daddy is home now! It's so wonderful to have him here again ;) He has been reading to you, giving you kisses, and today sang you a lullaby he really likes to help you sleep (Goodnight My angel by Billy Joel) It was so sweet! I still haven't gotten him to feel you, even though I swear you are kicking hard enough, he still doesn't feel it...pretty soon I am sure we just have to catch him at the right moment and you gotta give him a BIG ONE! :)

We love you so much!

I 'touched' you!

Yesterday (11/4/09) I actually got to 'touch' you! You were moving around and kicking A LOT last night while I was reading my Bradley book (maybe childbirth got you all riled up?) and I initially thought you might have the hiccups because the movement was spaced out.....kick....kick....kick....kick, but then it stopped (not sure if those were hiccups). THEN you started rolling around and kicking hard (didn't hurt at all) and I reached down to put my hand on my belly where I felt it, and you kick my hand!! :' ) about 4-5 times! You are such a strong little girl! I called your daddy right away (he comes home tomorrow!! YAY!) and told him about it! You will have to give him a love kick when he gets home! :)

We love you Lilah! Our sweet baby girl!

The Flu...

Oh baby girl if only you knew... I am trying so hard to make the right decision for us! I don't like vaccines and don't want to get it, but I also don't want us to get sick or hurt us in anyway. So I am trying to find it and have so far had no luck :( I will keep looking until I find it.

Daddy is away and I miss him terribly. Can't wait until he gets home and can be with us again. He is doing well on his training though and will be home in 3 days!!

I love you so much!
