My baby GIRL…
Well precious darling, it’s been a while.
I am sorry I have been neglecting these sweet posts and photos.
Christmas break threw me for a loop and my sweet friends haven’t been around to take your growing home and I’ve been a bit lazy.
I managed to get Daddy to take some last week and then I noticed it’s in the SAME dress as the previous bump session, but who cares? 🙂
We took your siblings to Santa Fe after Christmas for a few days!
It was a neat town, but I would rather take everyone during a warmer season so they could run around and laugh without chapped cheeks and lips.
It snowed the day we were leaving which was magical AND scary… icy highways made for a slow start home.
You, my dear, helped me WADDLE around town and take down LOTS of tasty food.
So, I thank thee. 🙂
I am feeling you a lot more, which I enjoy.
I didn’t feel you a lot and it was confirmed that we have an anterior placenta so I wasn’t able to feel you as much – especially before 22 weeks.
Slowly, but surely your being is coming more alive and real to all of us.
Parx loves to tell me “Your baby is HUGE.”
Pierson doesn’t like your name choice, but we all do. I wonder when we will share it with our close world?
Edie LOVES to poke at and pinch my sticky outy belly button AND kiss on my bare belly.
Both girls like to lift up my shirt at restaurants, embarrassing and cute.
I have felt fantastic and am not really craving anything in-particular, but LOVE food.
You may be my most caloric intaking pregnancy, though this is my FIRST time being pregnant in the holidays and winter.
Oy vey.
Well sweet girl. I have two more weeks to catch up on and by the time I do, it will be THREE more – as we are already 24 weeks and 3 days today!
I love you precious babe.
.love.
