Baby Shower
|
16 girls. Plenty of Pink. Balloons. Sinful food. And Games. My Baby shower was PERFECT !
3 of my friends had flown into Seattle for it and just the reunion made it all the more
amazing. I can't thank everyone enough for such a memorable day...

Growth Spurt
|
Is it just me or does it look like Olivia went through a massive growth spurt from my 20th to 24th week? o_O.

| 20 weeks | 24 weeks |
Her movements are so strong now that we can actually see them from the outside. I'll point to my tummy and and tell Pete to watch that area ... and then with perfect timing we see a little "poke" ... it's SO incredible!

Dearest Olivia

Dearest Olivia,
Your Daddy and I can't wait until we get to hold you in our arms. You've brought us so much joy already in just the 5 and half months you've been growing inside me. Daddy and I talk about you all the time. Uttering your name is so uplifting and you should see how it makes your Daddy smile.
We love to talk about all the fun things we want to do with you: Win you big furry animals at carnivals, pad you up in a snowsuit and help you build your first snowman, see your face light up when Daddy builds you a sandpit in the yard.
But even the thought of our very first experiences together - feeding you, burping you, changing your diaper and giving you baths ... just holding your sweet little body to our chests and feeling you breathe ... all that will feel just as wonderful. We will cherish those moments, savour in them and hope time doesn't fly by too quickly.
And we know you will teach us so much - to see the world through your innocent eyes and to experience pure uninhibited excitement over the simplest of things. Life for us will be changed forever ... and we feel so incredibly blessed because of it. Because of You.
Love,
Mommy
