Bliss

 
“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.”
-Audrey Hepburn

Yesterday I was surprised by my husband when he showed up in Indian Trail after he told me he would be working all day.  My husband knows me well, I love surprises!  He has done several birthday surprises but this had to be the best surprise by far (or at least my raging hormones made me feel like crying from joy)!

Yesterday as we were all resting/napping, I looked over and realized my life is exactly what I want.  I had to snap this picture because I never want to forget that moment, that feeling.


My Dear Daughter

My Dear Daughter,

You are already such a princess and diva, so I thought it would be fitting to give you your first tiara!

Everyday you are getting bigger and stronger.  We are 23 weeks along, almost to the 3rd trimester, and you are about 11inches long.  You have a daily playtime around 3pm and if I am still awake, you like 11pm too.  I have no idea what you are doing in there.  I don't know if you are flipping, rotating, kicking, punching, etc but you make my insides tickle. 

I know you are going to be strong.  You are coming into this world at such a crazy time.  We are currently in the process of moving to Summerville, SC, which means tons of car travel.  You do not like me to sit up straight for too long.  For some reason you have made the lower part of my uterus your current home which makes it hard to have a seat belt feel comfortable. 

We do not have a name yet, I am sorry to say.  I have had many suggestions though but nothing seems to just click.  I knew right away with your brother.  I feel like I am letting you down already.  No name, no room design, I am such a terrible mom.  I am so excited to move to our new home so I can start to focus on you!

Bryce loves to try to feel you kick.  I am pretty sure you have refused to move for him but he loves to say that he has felt you.  Every night he curls up with the teddy bear he made for your gender announcement and listens to your heartbeat.  He is going to be such a protective and loving big brother.  I can only pray that he is going to be good at sharing his toys with you.

Little girl, I love you so much and everyday you are getting closer to be in my arms.  I cannot wait to see who you will become.  Will you look like me or your father?  Which personality traits will be passed on?  So much unknown!

We go for our first doctor's appointment in Summerville next week!  I cannot wait to hear your heartbeat again!

Love,

Mommy
