Kevin said to me recently – please blog for our baby. I know – I feel so bad that for this pregnancy that I really haven’t blogged much. So – this post is just for Kendall. I want her to know that my lack of blogging has nothing to do with me not being excited about her arrival!
Sweet Kendall – I absolutely can not wait to meet you! The picture above is me at 37 1/2 weeks pregnant with you. I took the pic myself, so you’ll have to excuse my photography skills. That’s you in there – growing bigger every week! You have been so much easier on me than your brother was. The first part of the pregnancy was a little rougher as I was more sick in the beginning, but everything else has been easier. With your brother – I swelled up to an unrecognizable size. It was no fun. With you – I am still wearing my rings and can still recognize my feet! It is a wonderful thing! Thank you for that! :) I know I haven’t blogged as much, but it isn’t because I am not excited. I am a little busier this go around with your brother, etc. However, I get so excited about meeting you. I am so thrilled about having a daughter. I don’t even think I fully comprehend what that will mean, but I can’t wait. I think about the fun girl things we will do and the conversations we will have. I’m nervous – that’s for sure. I hope I can manage the two kid thing ok and I hope your brother is sweet with you. He is so excited about having a baby sister! I really think he’ll be such a good big brother.
The picture above is me in your room at 34 weeks. You’ve grown a lot in the last month!! The doctor thinks that you will be a little bigger than your brother was – so we will see. I am just over 2 weeks away from my due date. If you want to arrive early, I’m ok with that! I was feeling really good until this past weekend. Recently I’ve been really tired and my back has been hurting a good bit. I want to hold you in my arms – it is way more fun than having you in my belly! It is getting hot outside and so we stay inside a lot. I am having another sonogram of you on Monday – I am looking forward to that. It is always so nice to see you. You are very, very active. You get moving and you are all over the place. I wonder what your personality will be. Like mommy or like daddy?
I think your room is really cute. I hope you like it. I couldn’t find what I was looking for, so I had your bedding made. It is just a lot of pinks and greens. We didn’t do any showers or anything like we did with Will but that doesn’t mean that you are lacking for anything! You are the first girl on both sides, so everyone has been very generous with cute girl gifts! Your Mimi, Uncle Dustin, Aunt Tricia, Uncle J and LIndsey made huge contributions to your room. They bought your bedding and the rug. Your Ally, G.J. Neille, Aunt Kellie, Nick and Aunt Kayse have set you up with all sorts of fun stuff. I feel like one of them has a new outfit for you every time we see them! Your closet is plenty full of cute girlie outfits! I may have to change you several times a day to be able to use them all! Notice your silly brother below. He’s quite a ham sometimes! :)
So please forgive me for not blogging as much this time. I am over the moon excited about you joining our family! Please hurry up and come out and play!!
