34 weeks and counting

Hi sweet active baby girl.  You are moving around like crazy and I can feel you primarily on my right side... kicking, jabbing, and sometimes rolling over.  I can lay back and just watch you put on a show behind my belly wall.  It's so fun and yet so crazy because I feel like I don't have ANY control over my body anymore. I'm going to miss feeling you so often but I'm anxious to meet you and to hold you in my arms. 

I had my Dr appointment yesterday and Dr said you are still growing PERFECTLY.. right on time! He believes you are head down with your back along my left side and all your hands and feet along the right... bingo! Your heartbeat seems strong and steady and I couldn't ask for better news. I often wish there was a little window I could open and close to take a peak at you.. but I probably wouldn't get much else done. I am hoping you come about 2 weeks early like your sister.  If that is the case, I expect you to come in a little over a month.  Daddy won't let me believe this, but I continue to do so. I'm hopeful. :)

I Love you baby girl
Mommy

4D ultrasound at 30 weeks

At almost 30 weeks we went and got a 3D ultrasound of you. It was so fun to get a glimpse of what you look like. Like Eden, you were a bit camera shy and hid behind both hands and FEET. You seem a little cramped in there but we were able to see a few good angles of your beautiful face.  The technician thinks you may come even earlier July 27th based on your measurements and he suspects you to have my full lips.  He could tell Eden had full cheeks so we trust his eye.  You are perfect and growing so healthy and strong.  We are so excited to hold you and to give you countless kisses and loves.  Eden is calling you baby Lyla and for now, we have agreed this to be your name.  You are loved so much already and the wait sometimes feels impossible.  I'm looking forward to so many things once you get here. I imagine you snuggled up on my chest sleeping peacefully, hearing your little squeaks and moans while you sleep, waking up with you in the middle of the night and sharing that special time together, I imagine you a little older and playing with Eden, I look forward to seeing you sisters fall deeper in love and becoming the best of friends.  I know you are the best gift we can give to Eden and I know she will be the best big sister to you.  I can't wait to include your special little spirit into our ever changing family.  I love you baby Lyla

With love
Mommy

I'll post pictures of your ultrasound when my computer decides to let me into Iphoto.
