All about her.
Ive been anticipating this week for a while... for the last 21 weeks really lol. It seems like a "big number" .. I mean 25 weeks does feel better than 21 weeks I guess. Plus, its one week closer to meeting our little Miss!
The last week was better for me on the nausea side! The puking has settled down a bit which has been SO SO SOOOO nice. Although... the last couple of weeks, the heartburn has been INSANE! WHOA! No prescription meds are helping BUT tums really seems so help so I leave it on my windowsill in my room and eat them like a bedtime snack, its crazy.
I really dont have any specific cravings... I can totally eat, smell and cook chicken (which I wasn't able to do any of that when I was pregnant with the boys) and really I just like eating fruit and cereal but other times Im totally into a big "man" meal with meat and potatoes! The food spectrum for me this time around is a mystery! Everyday is different.
As for my body.... well... its getting large.. very large... my butt, hips, thighs, tummy (but thats a given), neck and pretty much everything seems to have been growing. I have stretch marks on my tummy... faint ones but totally noticeable and realistically I know they're only going to get worse. They bug me. When they say "girls steal your beauty" or "girls carry all the way around" they weren't kidding!
Im still trying to embrace this changing body of mine and trying to find things that fit me constantly, but all in all, we're healthy and happy and excited to meet this little sweet girl!
I cannot wait to get started on her nursery too! Im thinking (which could change) pale pale (vintage) pink walls... a little chandelier.. a couple of cute canvases on her wall and a little shelf that will hold our family picture and a pair of vintage baby shoes that I wore as a little girl with wooden bottoms. I cannot wait! We finally settled on a crib bedding set and ordered it online yesterday!
Its all Linen and handmade in Europe and looks simple and perfect! I love it and cannot wait to get it! I think we've decided on her name too, but I wont write it down until we are positive. I just know she is going to be so lovely!
So, my sweet little girl, you mean everything to me, to us. I wish I could tell you these things right now, but for now, Ill write them down. I love you baby girl.
Our Dear sweet little Miss,
Mommy & Daddy talk and think about you every single day. You make us so happy. We cannot wait to see what you look like... like mommy.. like daddy.. or a perfect little mix. Mommy is hoping you have your Daddy's thick and wavy hair. Carter is hoping you have the same eyes as him... hazel. Carter tells me every day how much he is going to love his sister and that he plans on sharing all of his trains with you... this is a big deal! You are super lucky! Bentley will give you sweet kisses through my tummy, but I don't really think he totally knows your coming... you will be a lovely surprise for him. Your big brothers are going to love you like crazy! We've been really starting to plan for your arrival. We bought you your crib bedding just last night and my closet is starting to fill up with some really cute clothes for you. Grandma has been working hard to finish your blankie so we can bring it to the hospital when you arrive, she is almost done! We are all so excited to meet you. I know you will be so perfect. Our little family is so blessed to have you. I cannot even write down the words to explain the love I have for you. I feel you move inside my tummy everyday and each time I feel closer and closer to you. You also have some really serious kicking skills.. which will really come in handy with two older brothers Im sure. Only 15 more weeks(ish) until we get to see you! I cannot wait! I love you little miss.
Love Mommy.
