This is our little girl. She is quite the mover; I feel her constantly. Which I love! It really allows for reality to set in. I know that I have this little person inside of me that is depending on me for food and water and protection. I am really excited to be a mom, but I am nervous o the unknown. I just have to remind myself that I have great resources when things get tough. When I don't know what to do or where to turn next.

Paul and I are both so blessed to have such wonderful families. Families that are supportive and loving and will help out when we are in need. That little reminder helps me to get over all those uneasy feelings and just get really excited about bringing a litle girl into a family where she will be loved.

I have been trying to get Paul to talk to my belly, so that she will know his voice just as well as she will know mine. It is not his favorite thing to do because she does not talk back. He has a hard time with the one sided conversation. When I can get him to say anything he always uses this weird voice, so we end up just laughing about it.

It has been really neat to already see some of her personality. She hates it when I lay on my back. That is when she kicks the most. She also is not a big fan of my waist band on any pair of pants. She kicks at it when I am sitting and especially when I am leaning over a table or desk. Somtimes we can get her to feel our finger. We just press one finger on my belly and she will feel it,but not hit or kick it. When she does that I know that she is going to be a cuddler. I think she will be a daddy's girl.

Well, this is my yearly update. I hope that you enjoyed it. My next post will be next year at this time. Just kidding. I might post something when she is born.
