Week 31

Dear Lily Ann,

We are nearing the finish-line and you are growing by leaps and bounds. Seriously.... leaps and bounds. That is all you seem to be doing inside my belly. We can see my belly move from one side to the other as you kick, play, and squirm around. Grandma even got to see you moving around!

Christmas is only two weeks away and we finally have two trees up! We are going to finish up with the outside decorations this weekend - along with installing our new mantle and hopefully finishing up all the woodwork that is going on in your nursery. Who knows? We may even be able to put together some of your furniture and start trying to recreate the vision I have in my head of your gorgeous nursery. I can't wait to see the finished product and envision bringing you home to your very own room (although you'll be sleeping in your cradle in our room for a few months).

Tennis season has ended and the wintry weather has definitely arrived. Your dad has been battling snow in Indiana this week and misses you very much when he is gone. I took you for a spin on the elliptical machine this morning and I think you really enjoyed it! You and I will have to do more of that now that we aren't on the courts.

As of today, I am finished with my last semester of school before your arrival. Maybe now instead of Economics and Accounting, I'll be able to read you nursery rhymes. I'm looking forward to our last weeks together and hopeful that the next few will be very productive. Hang with me! We have lots to do!


We Love You,

Mommy
