25 weeks...

Dear William,

          Although its been a few weeks since I wrote to you, I have not forgotten about you for even a minute. You have become so active in my belly. I can now SEE you move. Its funny to watch my belly roll around. I can't wait until those movements happen in our arms. Daddy and I have finally finished your nursery!! I know you are going to just love it. Hopefully you enjoy elephants because there are quite a few around your new room. We had your 25 week appointment this week and Dr. Brown says you are doing great and growing just like you should be. I hope you continue growing big and strong. Daddy and I have been working out a lot more because we're going on a cruise in 2 weeks and your dad wants his 6-pack back and I just want to be healthy. Its not as hard working out when you're pregnant because I have to take it easy but I know you enjoy it. Were going to be an active family so we might as well get you the habit now. Oh, I almost forgot, we bought your carseat last weekend and I must say, it's SO cute! There was a big sale going on so we got a steal. Daddy and I are so excited to carry you around in it.

William Updates:

Size: A Rutabaga

Weight: 1.5 pounds

Length: 13.5 inches long

Development: You're starting to get some baby fat that will eventually turn in to cute rolls, you know the difference between up and down and you're growing more hair and the color is coming in. I can't wait to see what color it is.

Well, William, I love you so much. I can't wait until June!

Love, Momma

Dear William,

I can't believe how active you are getting. I dont think you liked that I was telling people you were a lazy baby so you've been making up for lost time. You sure love doing flips!! This week has been a busy one at work and at home.  Daddy and I had a fun Friday night with dinner and a little shopping. Then we went home to be with your cute cousin Gabe. He slept over in your room and then played all day Saturday with us. It was fun testing out some of your stuff on him :) He loved your jogging stroller and I know you will too.

Then this morning I gave my first lesson in relief society. Boy was I nervous.  I think it went pretty well and I think our next lesson with be much easier. Tonight we watched the Super Bowl together. You were going crazy in my tummy!! I think you're going to love watching sports with your daddy. Speaking of daddy, he finally felt you kick! Only once but it was a big one! You made him so happy. Try a little harder this week to let him feel you daily.
