Good morning baby!

I took a bath the other day and was lying still in the water and then you kicked so hard you made a ripple. Your first ripple. I cried it made me so happy.

You seemed to shift a bit Saturday night, it was a long day though so maybe you were just cranky. Either way you seem to be positioned slightly different now, which might mean you are ready to make your way out soon!

In two days we start the 30 day countdown to your arrival, but you are welcome to arrive whenever you please little baby. If you need a few days more in there, not a worry or if you wanna surprise us ahead of time, we're good for that too. We are just so excited to meet you.

Dad worked tirelessly this weekend on your room, he put in pot-lights which really warm up the space and even surprised me with a light in your closet! Its been a lot for him to take on because he's all new to this, and I couldn't be prouder of him. You are one lucky little girl to get him as your dad. :)

As for me, I'm REALLY pregnant looking now, which is kind of adorable. I hope that if you choose to one day have your own babies your pregnancy is as wonderful as mine has been. On top of the indescribable feeling of you swimming around in my belly, the side effects of pregnancy have been largely awesome (thicker hair, longer nails, glowy skin, its pretty great). The best part of course is getting to know your little movements. Its really a sensation that I'm surprised more women don't go on and on about. I'm actually going to miss you in there, where I know you are protected and cared for all day and night and where I feel even the slightest movement to know when you're awake or sleeping or have the hiccups :)

We signed up for private prenatal classes and a woman named Bonnie is going to come to the house to help teach us how to bring you into the world, how to feed and care for you and basically to help us learn what its going to be like to be your parents! We are pretty excited :) and the first class is on Wednesday, the same day we start counting down to December 9, your due date.

That's it for now little one, I feel you kicking as I'm writing this, I hope you are having a great morning too :)
