We rented a moon bounce for her party which because of the weather went unused until yesterday morning. She woke me up at 6:30 by saying "MAMA! I'm STILL FREE!!!" :) (Her verbal skills are nothing less than amazing, but the "th" combination is still sometimes difficult for her. I find it adorable, hence the mocking.) She then promptly informed me that she just HAD to jump in her moon bounce in her pyjamas because it was not raining. Thus spawned phone calls to select family and friends and extreme urgency to go downstairs and outside!
Mom mom arrived a short time later and spent a good bit of time sucking water out of the moon bounce with our shop vac. We got so much rain the water was ankle deep! INSANE!
In the end, the midget got to enjoy the moon bounce for a little while and has some stories to tell about the HUUUGE spider and water bugs which decided to take up residence inside the moon bounce and scare the daylights out of my mother in law.
Lovey,
You fill my days with more laughter than I could have ever in my wildest dreams imagined. I often wonder what my life must have been like before you arrived. Each and every time I conclude that it must have been quite boring.
Your love of all things great and small, never ending yearn to give, your compassion, intelligence and your smile know no bounds.
You complete me in a way I never knew possible and I love you more than words could ever express. I know in my heart that you will be the most amazing big sister regardless of your sibling's gender. I know you will go on to do wonderful and amazing things with all of the gifts that god has given you. Just try to be little for a little while longer. You're growing so fast I'm afraid that if I blink I may miss something. Reach for the stars and achieve your dreams and know that no matter what Daddy and I are as we have been always by your side.
"Before you were conceived I wanted you. Before you were born I loved you Before you were here an hour I would die for you. This is the miracle of life." Maureen Hawkins
I found the above quote last night while researching for a project and it immediately made me think of you, the greatest surprise I have ever in my life been given. Never ever forget it. From the very moment I knew you were on your way you have been on the forefront of my mind and one of my life's greatest accomplishments.
I love you, I love you, I love you! The last 3 years of my life have been nothing less than fabulous and I can not wait to see what tomorrow brings.
Happy 3rd birthday baby girl! I hope all of your wishes come true!
Love you always,
Mama
********************************************Pregnancy Update
15 weeks 2 days
We have MOVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I woke up with Hubby this morning at 4:30! He gets up VERY early EVERY day. This morning was much different for me as I was strangely wide awake. I'm never wide awake at 4:30, in fact I'm usually quite cranky when the alarm wakes me so early!
At any rate, Hubby left around 5 and I decided to try and catch a few more winks when suddenly I felt a small Jab to my side. Kind of felt like what I would imagine popcorn popping would feel like. Then there was another... and another...
I have said from day one that this child demands to be recognized. Maybe because this is my second go around I am feeling this one earlier, but were about 5 weeks earlier than the first distinguishable movements from my beautiful midget!
I have thought I've felt this one prior to today, usually at night when I'm trying to sleep, this time I am certain. I have just sat for about an hour during his or her morning acrobat routine :)
YAY!!!!
Until next time!
