30 Week Scare

Dear Little One,

I had quite the scare yesterday. Daddy and I went shopping yesterday morning for Black Friday. We got to our first store at about 8 AM. I quickly had to use the restroom as you love Love LOVE to jump on my bladder. Long story short, I found blood. We called the hospital and were told to head to the E.R.

That was the scariest trip of my life Little One. I was so worried and scared. I tried to stay calm and believe that everything would be okay; but it was hard to do! Daddy and I spent about 4 hours in the hospital yesterday. Turns out everything was okay. Thank heavens!! We did get another ultrasound. You were still a stinker and kept your legs clamped tight and your face hidden. They were able to confirm that you're still a little lady!

The nurses made me wear a fetal monitor while I was there. They quickly discovered just how active you are. You moved almost the ENTIRE time. The moments where I got to listen to your heartbeat were the best. It really is the best sound in the whole world.

When we got home, Daddy requested we do some online shopping for clothes, etc for you. Of course I agreed!

Now I need to get ready to head to Grandma Schotts to have Thanksgiving with her.

More soon Lovebug!

79 Days and Counting

Dearest Little One,

I just looked and saw that we are only 79 days away from your estimated arrival/due date. Seventy-nine. That's so few! According to the Bump, you are between 1.5 and 2.5 pounds and between 13.6 to 14.8 inches long; approximately the size of an eggplant.

Today you seem to be in LOVE with my ribs. Your little toes are sure exploring them like crazy. I'm almost 100% positive it's your toes because you sure give a strong kick to my ribs quite frequently today.

The past few nights you've been such a sweetheart to Daddy. Daddy and I have been laying on the living room floor just watching/feeling you. Two nights ago you kicked Daddy for a solid 30 minutes. Last night was almost an hour!! Daddy's face lights up when you kick him. Daddy was really excited when he found what we're pretty sure was your little hand last night. He can't wait to see you, hold you, count your little fingers and toes and smother you with kisses. Your Daddy is so in love with you already. It melts my heart to see.

Mommy is so anxious for your arrival. I can't wait to finally be able to hold you in my arms and to kiss your little cheeks. You've been making Mommy really tired lately. Mommy's been falling asleep by at least 9 every night. You're worth it tho, so I don't mind.

More soon.

3 months left!

Princess,

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've written. Mommy and Daddy have been busy getting things settled for you. We've been going through all of our "junk" storage and emptying it all out. Most of the bigger stuff we've gotten for you that you won't use right away now has a place to stay!

Today, Mommy and Daddy found you a cute lamp for the nursery. It's pink and frilly and gorgeous. You had fun today while Mommy and Daddy shopped. You were moving like crazy! I had to check several times to make sure your little toes weren't peeking out my tummy. You sure are strong!

Honey, I'd sure love it if you'd stop playing games with Daddy. Daddy just loves feeling you kick; but you're still holding perfectly still whenever Daddy tries to feel you. I just want to know: How do you know it's Daddy?

Yesterday marked week 27 of your development. Hopefully only 13 more weeks til your arrival. I'm so anxious for your arrival.

Love you little one!
