Dear Baby

Dear Little Kicker

You are getting so strong!!! I can't believe only 4 more months until we all get to kiss you and hold you and hug you! We are so excited!!  I think you are going to have a sweet tooth, I have been craving sweets this whole pregnancy! At the beginning I wanted ice cream all the time, then  from October to January I wanted cinnamon almonds... which I ate a ton of.... and these last 2 weeks I want chocolate donuts with sprinkles.  Please help me out a little and crave things like your big sister did such as salad and spinach and lots of fruit.  Even Sam wanted broccoli and cheese soup or broccoli fettuccine Alfredo!! 

Also, if you could stop kicking me while I eat, I will be able to eat more per sitting and not have to snack all day!  And when I lay down I know you finally have room to stretch but mom wants to sleep.

I love you little one.

Dad loves you.

Hadleigh loves you maybe most of all.

What should we name you?!?

We have about 6 ideas but can't seem to find one that fits perfectly.

I know whatever we pick, will fit you like a tiara!

Update on me:

Weight Gained: 16 lbs *(136.2)

Stretch Marks: No new ones, very very light

Cravings: Sweets

Morning Sickness: Going away

Sugar and Spice

And Everything Nice

That's what little girls are made of!

And we are going to have TWO little girls running around our house here in 4 months!!

We found out we were having a girl back in December.  We told our families by blowing up black balloons and I filled them with colored glitter and then they had to pop them to see what it was... pink or blue!

It was so fun! And Hadleigh really liked watching everyone pop the balloons.   She was a little excited and let it slip a couple times what it was but that's ok.  She's 4.

She has been really protective of me lately.  Every time the dogs jump up onto a chair or couch I'm on she tells them to get down so they don't jump on the baby.  She also makes sure that I'm eating healthy.  And when I get in the hot tub she asks me if I'm hot so the baby won't get too hot and die.  Which is true... but I get out about 15 min and drink 16 oz of cold water while in there to keep my body temp down.

Every night she hugs and kisses my tummy and says good night baby.

She thinks we are going to name her Jemma... which we might but we are still choosing which name we like the best.  So as soon as we know we will let you know.  I'm not big on keeping it secret.  If someone likes the name and wants to use it then I feel flattered!!
