As I sit here and type this, my sweet child is busy practicing all her fancy Kung Fu and dance moves. I'm not really sure what on earth she's doing in there, but for the past several nights, I'll lie on the couch and Scott and I will watch her make the most interesting shapes out of my poor belly. I know she shows off even more when she knows I'm watching!! As soon as her daddy cups his hands on my belly and tells her it's him and to please not hurt mommy, she stops. The minute he goes back over to where he was sitting, she starts the Kung Fu again. It's actually kind of funny....well, not when it's so much activity that I'm left in tears. I would much rather her be this active and know she's healthy than have a quiet little baby that does nothing but sleep.
Scott and I are getting closer and closer to becoming a mommy and daddy! As we wrap up week 31 and approach week 32 next week, this is becoming more and more real!! With every movement and every elbow that scrapes the inside of my belly, I know that we're closer and closer to meeting the precious little angel that we've worked so hard for the last 12 years of our relationship for. I look at Scott sometimes and I still can't believe that God is so good to me. God must've known that we were meant for each other, because I feel like I've known it my whole life!! Isabella will be the beautiful thread that ties us even closer together!! I have been told by several friends that are married with children that once you have a baby, you will have a whole new kind of love for your husband. Scott and I have a pretty intense and special kind of love and I can't wait to love him even more, for the rest of our lives and beyond!
I had both my work and my family/friends' showers this month and I have to say that this child is so very loved by so many people that haven't even met her!! She was so spoiled with the most adorable outfits, diapers, bibs, bows, socks, you name it, she got it!! My sister, cousin, and friends did such a great job putting the big shower together last weekend. It really was a lot of fun! I am so very blessed to be so loved and cherished by my girls. So many people are so very happy for me and Scott and it showed in the beautiful day they dedicated to us!
I will officially be going on maternity leave from work on July 1 (2 weeks from now) and I absolutely can't wait!! I'm so looking forward to napping when I can and nesting all day! Izzy's room got painted last week and we moved all of her gifts in there. We ran out of room to put the diapers, so we filled her tub with them until we find a new home for them. I'll probably be bathing her in my tub with me for a while anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Hopefully the amount of diapers that we got from both showers will last us for a while. We shall see!
All in all, both showers were absolutely beautiful!! It was so wonderful spending time with all my friends and family before my sweet girl gets here! I got so many calls, texts, emails, etc from several people that were so impressed with everything. Scott and I are so very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family that are so excited to meet our sweet little Isabella!!
