baby bump |

Hello Little One!

You’ve been doing all sorts of things like kicking (or headbutting…im not really sure) my bladder. That has been…interesting. You also go through these fits where you kick and roll and dance about for a good solid minute and then you are silent like nothing happened. I think you are itching to get out and wriggle your legs and arms in the open air! Last night your dad got to feel one of these fits. He always seems to get his hand on my belly right when your finished and only feels a thump or two, but this time he got to experience you having a rager in my belly and his eyes got so wide. He thinks you are pretty amazing (i do too).

I think our days of second trimester face stuffing are behind us. We have the appetite but with you growing all sorts of crazy, my stomach cant hold what our tummys really desire. Which lately you have been craving fruity things. You’ve still got that raisen thing going on, but now we would also like all the grapes we can eat…apples…bananas…really anything light and fresh. the strange part about that is you mama looooves green apples and green grapes, but you want no part in that business. red apples and grapes all day long.

you’re doing great penny! keep up the good work in there and we get to see you so very soon! we’re almost at the 10 week count down! yay!

we love you with all our heart!

xoxo,

Little one,

We are on our last week of the second trimester! WHAT? thats crazy!

some neat things and also some not so neat things happened this week. lets begin with the neat!

you’ve started doing this really cute thing where when your dad says hello and asks you to give him a good kick or “high five” you totally thump back to him. this could just be coincidence but it happens pretty frequently, so we’ve decided that you are a baby genius and can kick on command : ). Also, pretty neat…your auntie karen and cousin lily lent you some really adorable outfits! i cant wait to see your adorable buns in some of these cuties!

the not so neat is when we took a little tumble down the stairs on campus when your dad and us were having some lunch. luckily i have a talent for falling gracefully enough to not land on you and to only really scuff the crud outta my legs. you are safe and so am i, but it definitely was not a very fun experience. your dad was pretty worried most of the day, but our doctor assured us all is well. sorry for the scare little one. its hard to not be a little clumsy when im starting to not be able to see my feet so well : ).

we’ve ventured into the double digits and you are now 98 days away (give or take a few im sure) from being inducted into this little family of ours. we are so excited! we love you so much penelope joy.

XOXO,
