Dreaming

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?~Mary Oliver

I dream about you every night. What will you look like? Will your eyelashes curl into little cups? I yearn to hear a soft, strong, healthy cry. Every dream ends with this overwhelming sense of joy. An "I did it" with a side of "This world will never be the same".

During the day I dream of the things you may dream for one day. I dream of the ways I will work so you have a head start for those dreams. I dream of the people that will enter your life. Already I pray that they are loving, positive people that will make your world brighter and better.

I will dream BIG for you until the day comes when you tell me you want to be a doctor, a teacher, a singer, and a zoo keeper :)

Love you BIG time,

The dr. says everything is going great :) All my bloodwork was healthy and you kept kicking the doppler. I even felt one of your kicks as I heard it! Your heartbeat was 150 bpm - just perfect! You can suck your thumb now, your fingerprints are in place, and you are settling in for another 6 months. You are about the size of a large lemon, almost a softball. Our big ultrasound is coming up and then we will find out - are you a boy or a girl!!?? To be honest, I have no preference. I am just so excited to bring you into this world! If you are a girl - that is wonderful - I REALLY want a girl - prom dresses, weddings, dates, etc. But if you are a boy, I think about being the only woman in the family and having my boys around me! You and Owen may be super close since you are 19 months apart and both boys. But then again, it sure would be nice to have Owen looking out for his baby sister.... See! Its a win-win situation :) I love you so so sooo much!

YAY!!!!!

I have started to feel you move :) It is the most exciting, wonderful, amazing experience! Sometimes it is a tiny little thump while other times its a bunch of little flutters. Today, after I felt a thump, I put the doppler on that same spot and there you were! It read 154 bpm.

I will hear you again Monday on the doctor's high tech dopler - can't wait!

love love LOVE you!

Here we are! I am bloated, but now that you are the size of a lemon I have started to show a little!! You are kicking and punching and I bet I will be able to feel you soon :) I have been very thirsty lately and have had some strange dreams! I finally feel pregnant..and it is about time - we are in our 2nd trimester already :) Keep growing strong and I will hear you again at the dr's next week!

love, mommy
