Sweet, Sweet Baby
You are so loved. You are now the size of a pineapple...4 pounds and over 17 inches long!!! I put up some pictures of your great grandparents, grandparents, and your great aunts and uncles. I am going to have them printed and placed around your nursery as well.
We had a snow day today and enjoyed the quiet day and the beauty of the snow. We were going to have your first shower today but because of the 12 inches of snow we needed to change it to another weekend. We played in the snow a little and took a walk. Your dad loves the snow so much because he grew up in Florida without much of it, so he is like a little kid. He just got back from another walk. You will love to play in the snow too one day. When you come, it will almost be spring.
We can't wait!
Love, your mom

32 weeks

Aunt Jill and Mom

You are loved!

You are still growing big and strong, my sweet baby. You are over 16 inches long and 3.7 pounds. You are starting to kick my ribs too. It doesn't hurt but feels really funny and sometimes surprises me! We can see my belly move when you move . Your dad loves to read to you most every night. We have started our birthing classes and are learning lots of great information. Your little nursery is coming along and I am getting so excited about you being here. I am organizing everything and your dad thinks it is great! I am praying over you each day and so are many others. Your dad made us a baby mix for the day of your birth. You are going to love the songs, I just know it! You are already listening to the songs with me most everyday and will enjoy them even more after you are born. We still don't have a name picked out but don't you worry, we will soon. Much love to you sweet little one...love, me
