Barefoot and Pregnant at Easter

How are we feeling?
Well, to be honest, things took a turn two weeks ago. I am feeling pregnant.  My stomach is rock hard and a bit of a challenge to maneuver around.  Eating is a chore and nothing really ever sounds good. No one told me about leg cramps at night and boy do they keep me up no matter what exercises I do or how much vitamins I take. Naps have made a return and I'm pretty sure I'm waddling-ugh. I think I have officially entered the complaining stage in pregnancy and yet...I still marvel at the growing kiddo inside of me and that Papa-God chose me to be this little girls mama.

What's up with the bump?

Baby girl is flipping and kicking and moving like the little fish she is.  Every time I sit or lay down to rest, she begins her mermaid moves and causes Nick to come running to feel her.  He still talks to her every night and it melts my heart to see his sweet smile when he does.  She has already positioned herself to enter this world and the doc is very happy with her growth and constant movement.

What crazy thing did we recently learn?

We have learned that this little one will want for nothing.  Not just the material things that have started to come in with special packages in the mail or the first baby shower, but that there are so many people who will be there for her throughout life.  The prayers alone that have prayed her into this world will continue as she grows and finds her way in this world. 

Subject I'm not ready to think about?

Her bedroom.  The April 1st, deadline has come and gone and her room is not even close! We'll just leave it at that.

Big Daddy's Take:
I am finding myself more and more eager for her presence outside of her mama's belly. I keep imagining all the things that we will do together, from baseball games, tea parties, hunting, or playing. I hope that I will be the type of dad that will actively pursue a relationship with her no matter what is on the agenda for the day. Time already seems to be flying and I hope that I will some how make the little time I have with her worth remembering.
