Little Runaway!

You just get to be more fun all the time, little baby!

Now you are kicking a little more often. We were watching Captain America in the movie theater on Saturday and at the end of the movie when the final music came on loud, you started kicking me like crazy! That was really fun because it was the longest I've ever felt it. I wondered if you heard all that music, but your Dad thinks you really liked Captain America like him.  :)

Another funny thing you are doing lately is running away from our heart monitor! We like to listen to your heart beat and make sure you're okay. Before we could just listen to it for a long time, but now suddenly, we'll be listening to your heart beating and then we hear all these crazy sounds and it's gone. It took me a little bit to figure it out, but we realized you must be flipping or turning over and getting away from the heart monitor. We heard it really good yesterday. You moved so much that the heart monitor made a really loud sound in your dad's ears. That was pretty funny. You got him good. And at the same time your dad jumped, I felt your little kicks in my belly right where he was holding the heart monitor. I think that was the coolest thing you've ever done. You have no idea but every little movement like that just makes everything so much more real to us! You're still so tiny in there, that there are times it is hard to believe I am really pregnant. Not when I feel those little kicks though. There is great big life inside your little tiny body, and I am so thankful for all of those little moments with you. :) I love getting to know you, little one. We get more and more anxious everyday for you to be in our lives (on the outside) all the time. As your dad says..."Hurry up and GROW!" We want to meet you so badly.

...Only 8 more days and we know if you're a boy or a girl! We have been waiting for this appointment for so long, it's hard to believe it is really almost here. I didn't have too strong of feelings about whether you were a boy or girl at first. So many people insisted that you are a boy, I kind of went with that for awhile. (Your Aunt T is convinced you are a girl, she was the only one! )  Your Dad is convinced that you are a boy, and he is sticking with it. Until recently I didn't realize it, but in every little daydream I have about you and our life with you, I have been imagining a girl. I picture you when you're a baby, I picture first your Christmas, I picture you when you're 5! And always, you are a girl   :) I didn't realize that at first, but I suppose my Mother's Intuition was kicking in more than I thought! Plus, the other night I had a dream about you and you were a girl. Now I am sure that's what you are. Your dad and I are ecstatic no matter what you are, but now we have a little competition to see who's right. You'll get to know this about us. We both like to be right  :)  Our baby doctor has officially sided with me. She says mom's feelings are usually right. 

No matter what, the wait to meet you will still feel like forever, but know that once we have you in our arms we're never gonna let you go! We love you sweet baby.
