How far along: 24 weeks
Sleeping: Falling asleep is getting harder and harder
Best Moment of the Week: Picking up the nursery bedding!!
Movement: Yes! Her little kicks are getting stronger and stronger each day!
Cravings: Still craving anything and everything sweet...cupcakes, cookies, pies!! I told Derek that this must mean Hadley is going to be sweet since I'm craving so many sweets =)
What I am looking forward to: Painting the nursery
Milestones: Reaching 24 weeks. 24 weeks is a big week to reach. I am now at the "viability" stage of pregnancy which means Hadley has a 60% chance to survive outside the womb with several medical interventions. Obviously we want her to stay until November!!
This week was also so fun because Bedazzled called to say her bedding was ready. I think the owner was shocked that I hung up the phone and was at their store in under 30 minutes! I was really excited! I came home and put it all together. I just love it! Everything is coming together in her room. Here are a few pictures:
Last night, I babysat Emily while Mark and Caroline went to a FC Dallas soccer game. Jessica brought Abbey and Zoey over to meet Emily. I can already tell what good cousins they are going to be to Hadley. They had so many sweet questions and comments about the baby and it just made me even more excited for November. At one point (when Emily wasn't screaming!) she was sitting in the swing and was just staring at Abbey and Zoey with these wide eyes. They were so good talking to her softly and trying to make her giggle. Emily showed off all of her tricks (screaming, eating and making a dirty diaper) and the girls loved every minute! It was fun to have all of my nieces together!
Abbey and Emily
I had so much fun with Emily and she is growing right before my eyes. We were cuddling on my bed together and she rolled over! Such a big girl! I was laughing and cheering her on and Maverick thought all that attention was for her. She jumped up on the bed and put her nose about 2 inches from Em's face and Emily froze. She smiled and thought Mavy was so silly. Her mom wouldn't appreciate this because she was mortified that Mav was licking Emily earlier!
Here are some other summer pictures I haven't posted yet. Its gone by so fast and I'm ready for fall!
In Destin, 21 weeks
Emily and her Uncle Bear- so sweet!!
We went to San Antonio a few weeks ago to visit Momu and Popu and to see Papa's new place. We had a wonderful dinner Saturday night with Momu and Popu (I didn't have my camera) and then went to visit Papa on Sunday morning. It was so much fun and I can't wait to go back. Here is Emily and her great-grandfather, Papa.
