19 weeks along today!
145 days to go.
1 week until we know the gender.
The last couple days the baby has really started moving.
Up until then I'd feel it occasionally,
but never consistent.
Now, it is all the time!
I love it.
The movements are strong enough to be felt
by Adam, however the baby
ALWAYS stops moving as soon as he enters the room.
Even if he's not trying to feel.
Just walks into the room and baby calms down.
Lets hope he has the effect when baby arrives.
Other than the wonderful kicks, wiggles and moves
no other news in baby #2 world.
Next week's post will hopefully reveal if E
will have a brother or sister!
As for Elijah...
Ah.
My sweet boy
will be TWO this weekend.
It's so emotional
but much different than last year.
His first birthday was so bittersweet.
I was happy he was growing and maturing
but it seemed to soon.
He changed so much that first year.
From being a newborn baby who can only
eat, sleep and poop,
to becoming a person.
So much change in 12 months.
This year is emotional but only in a happy way.
Yes, he's growing physically,
but it's the individuality that is so wonderful.
This year he became not just a person,
but became Elijah.
It is such a blessing to watch.
So this time, as I look back at the past year,
I'm filled with nothing but gratitude,
admiration and excitement.
It has been the best year of my life
and I'm looking forward to seeing what his next year of life brings.
This past week has been FILLED with lots of birthday
party preparation.
I guess since I'm home this year
I thought I should take time to make things myself.
I must say I shocked myself.
I made him a birthday banner,
photo garland,
and a birthday t-shirt.
Although they are all covered with imperfections,
I am really happy with how they all turned out
and am excited to have them included
in the birthday celebration!
I will most definitely be posting lots of pics after the party!
Off to finish some last minute items:
mom gets in tonight,
busy day of shopping, visiting friends and cupcake baking tomorrow,
and party on Saturday!
Enjoy some pics of E playing outside:
Watching the Boone Homecoming Parade
Playing on the train at the Mt Dora craft fair
Mmm.. Nana treated him to a cupcake.
He only ate the icing :)
"One, Two, Three, Six"
He heard a lawn mower
and thought if he brought his slide over to the fence
he could see our neighbor Bob over it.
