Ouch!

Hi sweet baby girl! We've got a couple of weeks until your due date and I have to say I am so ready to meet you! You are definitely running out of space. The Doctor assures us you are head down, and your jabs and kicks are getting much stronger! Your tiny toes press into my ribs and your sweet little fists have a crazy knack for finding my hips... Usually the left one, while your noggin likes to bounce on my bladder. Do you know how many times I visit the bathroom? Just to dribble out a teaspoon? TMI I'm sure 😂. But we've been in this together for 8 and a half months, and given your exit route I feel like we can talk about this! Our bags are packed, yours and mine. Of course yours has much cuter outfit options, while mine has things like oversized granny panties and pads for both ends, lol. Stretchy pants and loose tank tops round out my "outfits". You've got sweeter options like jammies with adorable toes and onsies proclaiming you to be the cutest thing ever (which you undoubtedly will be!) Ruffle butt everything, tiny little hats and mittens to protect your face from your sharp nails. Judging by the ultrasound pictures you love having your hands by your face. Have I mentioned how excited I am to meet you? I want to kiss the top of your head, thankful that you are strong enough to bounce on my bladder. I want to kiss your tiny fists and toes, thankful you have all of them and counting my blessings much like I counted your kicks. I want to smell your hair, knowing that babies have such a beautiful and unique scent, and I've been waiting for that first breathful of you as much as I've been waiting for your first breath. Oh sweet Everleigh, I just can't wait! BUT please stay put as long as you can. Keep growing, keep punching. Keep kicking. Keep bouncing. Because these things, while uncomfortable for me, are milestone's for you. See you soon baby girl, love Mommy!

No Rest for the Weary

Little Miss, you will not go to sleep tonight. Every time I think you're out and lay you down your eyes pop right back open and you start crying. Your diaper is dry, you've eaten, we've rocked and patted, and walked and bounced. Read story's, sang lullaby's. And still. Wide. Freaking. Awake. Go to bed child. I told you babies under 2 feet tall should be asleep right now. You thought that was funny and graced me with an ear to ear grin. What's a girl to do?

Snuggles

Sweet little miss, I adore our snuggles! You definitely have a knack for making mommy and daddy feel special. When you get fussy all we have to do is pick you up. I'll put you up to my shoulder and you'll put your little arms around my neck and snuggle in. Sometimes it's all you need to fall asleep. Next week on June 4th I go back to work and you'll be spending your days with my sweet friend Sarah and her two little girls. I know you'll be in good hands while I'm working, but a large part of me is so sad to be giving up my days of snuggling you whenever you need it, and breastfeeding you full time. These precious moments have slipped by too fast and I will miss them with all of my being. I have cherished our 2 months of bonding so much! Mommy loves you Babers

One month

Hi baby E, tomorrow you'll be 1 month old! You are such a sweet little thing. Daddy and I are so in love with you! In this short month you've completely stolen our hearts and we can't imagine life without you in it. You love to lay on daddy's chest and pull his beard, and when you're not making him cringe you're gracing him with your adorable smile. You also gave him your first chuckle yesterday. Not quite a laugh yet, but he'll ask you if something is funny and you'll grin and chuckle at him. You really are a doll. You've been working on tummy time and have become quite strong, holding your head up for over 10 seconds at a time. You love to eat and you seem to have hit a growth spurt. You currently weigh 8 pounds and 9 ounces and are 22 inches long! You turn your head when you hear mommy or daddy talk to you, and you love listening to music and dancing around the living room with mommy. At birth your hair was dark, but has since lightened to an almo...
