29 weeks & 3 days!!

Well, it has been an exciting week. Your dad and I went to the ER because I was having some pain by my right rib and feeling dizzy. The good news is there is no preeclampsia (that's what we were worried about) - in fact, I have ridiculously good blood pressure :). They had you on the fetal heart monitor and you were showing off. You were going crazy in there!! We could hear not only your heartbeat, but every time you moved and kicked me. It was pretty cool, actually. We also got a preview of labor and delivery - you are gonna be born in style. You have made it a bit difficult for walking... after about 10 minutes you start to feel like a ton if bricks! I guess it's just the final lap! Even though I think you may come a little early, cook as long as you can!! We love you... it's feeling more real now! WE GET TO MEET SOON :)

XOXO, mommy

here you are at 29 weeks!

... this is a book I made for your daddy from you for his birthday :)

28 weeks and 3 days!!

Hello there, little girl :). Hope you're enjoying your last weeks on the inside. We are trying to get everything ready for your arrival. Auntie Sam threw us our first shower and you got lots of great things! You'll be all set for bath time for the next 6 years, and you have a new blankie, bottles, clothes, diapers, and some picture frames for us to display your cuteness! Daddy finished painting your room, and is almost done with the playroom. We had to take a break because we are a little under the weather. Mostly dad, he stayed home from work today. You are moving A LOT, and have a body part (maybe your foot?) lodged in my rib on the right side :). I think you like it there! 81 days until your due date, so we'll see you in 82-83 days at the latest! How exciting and terrifying! We love you, kid. <3

Your cousin, Mia, thinks you make the perfect pillow! :)

26 weeks & 4 days!

Sorry I didn't write last week! Your dad and I were house and dog sitting for Oma and Opa. We had our monthly appointment Monday, and we're still looking good! Passed the glucose test, but I did get put on extra iron because you're sucking it out of me :D! We are in the home stretch! We'll be going to the doctor every two weeks now, then at 35 weeks it will be every week until you arrive. I can't believe how fast this is going! You are kicking me right now, and all I can think of is getting to see your face!! Dad and I are going to be painting your room and playroom this weekend. I hope you like it! We love you, Finley. I can't wait to share our lives with you.
