Penelope Joy,

My dear.  This week has been a tough one.  You are working on some teeth growing like a mad woman and its making your nose run all sorts of crazy.  The snot sucker that you used to find hilarious is now your greatest enemy and do NOT appreciate when I wipe your nose…no matter how gentle i am.  To top it all off you had a doctors appointment yesterday and received 4 shots to your chubby little thigh.  You weigh 18lbs and you are 27 1/2 inches long!  you grew 2 1/2 inches in 2 months! you little grower you.

your dad and i think that you are pretty much the cutest and most hilarious baby on the planet.  you love the outdoors with all of your heart and have been enjoying some time out on the patio for some meals.  youre sitting in your high chair like a pro and last night you celebrated your half birthday with some spoon fulls of PEAS!!!  any time the peas actually made it into your mouth you would do a little shiver dance like “whoa! whats that business!”  i think we enjoyed it more than you, but we’ll try all sorts of new stuff soon!

your love affair with people continues.  you could be fussin up a storm but as soon as a new face comes into view your all smiles.  you’re quite the hit at the last few partys weve been too and everyone raves about what a great baby you are.  : ) you are.  you had your first stay in the nursery during church last week and you fell asleep in the teachers arms…clearly you had no problem adjusting.  you are still scooting backwards, but you are getting up to your hands and knees and rocking back and forth.  every now and then you propel yourself forward and we cheer for you in excitement and then backwards you go again.  youll get it.  keep trying : ).

  you are growing so fast and we are loving every minute of watching you learn.

we love you so much little one.

happy half birthday.

XOXO,

M

Little One,
You are so almost here!  We had a check up yesterday and the doctor told me that we’re already 2cm and 80% effaced (TMI).  This could mean you’re coming soon or you’re coming in 2 weeks but goodness gracious progress is progress and you are on your way!

You’re dad and I are freaking out with excitement at the thought of getting to meet you and we’ve started walking for a while at night in the hopes that we will shake you out (or something like that…we don’t know how it works).  Everything is set up and ready to go, we have everything we need and its all in its rightful place…all we’re missing is you!  So you can totally come out now, we fully support it.

Even though I’m actually quite a bit terrified of labor It’s amazing how excited I’m getting.  It’s almost (i repeat ALMOST) overshadowing how incredibly tired, and miserable I am. I blame the weather and its brutal hot days for this…I don’t think its really your fault at all.   But mama is beat.  I cannot believe that we are nearly at the end of this part of our journey together.  Next stop FRIENDSHIP!  It’s gonna be AWESOME!

We love you Penelope Joy.  And this is only the beginning of how great our love is for you.  It’s gonna grow like mad and we are so incredibly excited about you.

XOXO,

M

little one,

oh goodness! we got to see you today and you were a wriggly little thing.  i’m pretty sure its because i had a little decaf white mocha before we saw you, so you were most likely munching on the sugar i just inhaled.  when i saw you i said “yay you are growing!” and our doctor said you are not only growing but thriving.  she was very impressed by you.  it make me and your dad super proud.  speaking of your dad he was blown away by your tiny little hands with tiny little fingers.  he just kept saying “he has fingers! he has fingers!”  and i got a kick outta your little legs movin about (pun intended).  we are definitely growing you and i…as you can see from our post lunch work bump.  oh and also, im pretty sure you love jon foreman, i’ve been listening to my music really loud in the car lately so you can hear it, and any time one of his songs comes on, i feel you flutter around in there.  You and I are feeling SO much better which is something that was welcomed with open arms by us.  You currently still really love anything potato-esque, and still have hankerings for mc donalds soft serve, but healthier things are working their way back in the mix.  I feel like everytime we see you we fall deeper in love with you, and we get more and more excited to find out who you are as a person.  Your dad and I are going to start working on your room this weekend and the thought of you being here and sleeping (or not sleeping) in that space in just 5 short months is so exciting and unreal!  Keep on doin what cho doin baby boo…your mom and dad think you are pretty freakin cool.  we love you so very much!

xoxo,

M
