Oh Baby!!!

Everleigh, if the internet and Google are still around when you read this, search the song "I Knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden. This is my heart song to you. Every single word of that song is how I feel about you at this very moment, and for every moment there is. I knew I loved you before I met you, I think I dreamed you into life. I knew I loved you before I met you, I have been waiting all my life. Part of the song says "A thousand angels dance around you", and I want you to know how true this is as well. Since being diagnosed with placenta previa daddy and I have had to rely on so many angels to get get us through the day. At work my boss is letting me use a scooter to cut down on the walking (I'm not supposed to be doing, dr's orders). My co workers check on me throughout the day and have me park at the front door instead of a parking spot. At home your Grandma's have been bringing us dinners so we don't have to worry about cooking a couple o...

Hi my little camera shy stink bug! Today we learned a valuable lesson as parents. You do what you want. 😂 Truly. Daddy scheduled a 4D ultrasound with video and photos for us as his Valentine's Day present to me and your grandma's. So we all met up at Sweet Pea Imagery. I got up on the table, the tech goo'ed me up with gel and you promptly presented us with the back of your head! The tech tried jiggling you with the wand and you responded by showing us your feet and fists! I tried wiggling you by poking at my belly and again.... Feet and fists! You're hilariously stubborn. You stayed curled up in a tiny little ball of baby and smooshed your face up against my uterus just enough for us to get a quick glimpse right up your nose! Soo attractive! I am so happy we went though, I absolutely love getting to know you and your big personality! Next Thursday we will try again. Hopefully you will face forward and ham it up for the camera! Love mommy

Hi my little monkey. Yesterday was our follow up ultrasound to check on your kidneys. At our first 3D ultrasound they spotted a mass over one kidney, but Dr Woods was sure it was either a shadow from the machine or something that would clear up on it's own. Well, what ever it was, it's gone and you are one perfectly healthy little lady! As I was cleaning up the gel the ultrasound tech was checking all the scans and asked me to empty my bladder so she could do a quick transvaginal ultrasound, because she realized she needed to check the placenta. She did her thing, not saying much and then quickly ushered us into a patient room to wait for Dr. Woods. His nurse came in, took my blood pressure, noticed the ultrasound slip on the counter, made a pained look on her face and said doctor would be in shortly to discuss with us, but that she couldn't comment on the scan. Um... What? I'm a naturally nervous person so this didn't sit well with me. When Dr. Woods came in he tol...

31 Weeks and counting! 2 trimesters down and one to go! The time is flying and in 2 very short months you will be here. I can't believe how much we still need to do to prep for your arrival. It feels like I'm setting up a guest room for someone I've never met and in a way that's exactly what we're doing in your nursery. Except you're not a guest and while I don't know you yet, I know you already. I know that you get squirmy shortly after I've eaten something you enjoyed like salad or chocolate or (don't tell on me) that coffee I secretly had this morning and am now paying for by way of headache (so worth it though). I know that you are running out of space in my womb and that means you frequently bounce on my bladder (I promise, it's not a trampoline).I know that you can tell the difference between my hands on my belly and Daddy's hands and the dog's head. When I touch my belly you will continue on squirming and wiggling. When daddy puts ...
