25w2d

Dear Sweet Baby Girl,

Yesterday was Halloween! Mommy and Daddy saw cute babies everywhere we looked, all dressed up as cute little pumpkins, ladybugs, bunny rabbits and so many other fun things. We cannot wait for you to be here next Halloween so we can dress you up and take you trick or treating! Your Auntie Shannie and Auntie Brennie were telling me yesterday they can’t wait to see you all dressed up! Your cousins were so cute last night, too. You will have so much fun playing with them! Micah was batman, Christian was a Ballard football player, Gracie was a ballerina and Hannah was her normal cute self!

I’m so happy that you are still moving and kicking me so much. Yesterday mommy had to go to the hospital after eating a Halloween candy that had nuts (I didn’t know that at the time, though). My friend from work drove me to the hospital and the ER doctors and nurses gave me lots of medicine to make sure we were both ok. The labor and delivery nurse came down and monitored your heart beat and contractions and thankfully everything was normal. You’re already a little trooper!!! I hope, baby girl, that you don’t have allergies or asthma. Mommy and Daddy are praying you are as healthy as possible. The good news is that even if you do have those things, Mommy knows exactly how to take care of you and keep you safe; so don’t worry!

Just for fun, here’s a little survey I found:

How far along? 25 w 2d (I round up to 26)

Total weight gain/loss? 11 lbs- yikes!

Maternity clothes? Thank goodness for my black work pants with the big stretchy tummy pocket! I also love living in pj’s with a baggy waistband!

Stretch marks? Not yet; praying those never come!

Sleep? Not so great anymore. Lots of tummy and back pain already and the restless leg syndrome is driving me nuts!

Best moment last week? The usual kicks are so wonderful!

Movement? You are moving like CRAZY! A kick here, an elbow here…each one makes me giggle inside.

Food cravings? I love McDonalds (yes, I loved it before but now I crave it), and anything with marinara sauce! Oh and Mexican food- yummy!

Gender? You’re a beautiful little girl!

Labor signs? Thankfully none yet, just the occasional Braxton Hick contraction!

Belly button in/out? Still an innie!

What I miss: Not feeling so big and being able to fit in my clothes and hang out with daddy without whining about not feeling good.

What I am looking forward to: meeting you!!

Milestones: just a 104 more days until your due date!



Love you, baby girl!
