Week 30! Time is clicking by!

Wow, Brooklinn, I cannot believe we've gotten this far this quickly. It seems like yesterday that your daddy and I were excited to find out we were going to be parents and now that reality is in the not-so-distant future! You are definitely getting bigger and my ribs are starting to feel you creeping up! Almost everyone I come in contact with says you look like you will come early (am I getting that big?!) Last week your Aunt Lindsay & Uncle Josh took some pictures for our Christmas card (before I get super-huge!) and a few to show you when you get older of just how big my belly is getting. I am still feeling pretty great and hope it continues even though I hear the coming weeks will prove a little more difficult! You have several showers coming up and I am looking forward to seeing lots of family & friends before you decide to make your arrival!

As we speak, your daddy is busy touching up paint in your bedroom so it will be perfect for his little girl- he is SO excited to meet you and I can tell he is going to be a great daddy. He and I got some practice this past Friday night when we babysat Josh & Jennifer Moore's 5 month old baby boy, Eli. Your daddy was so cute feeding him pears, giving him his bottle, and helping me give him a bath- he even learned how to burp him and was very proud :) I got my "baby fix" today too, holding Marty & Stephanie's adorable little boy, Owen. He and I snuggled while we watched your daddy play one of his last flag-football games of the season. You have quite the selection of handsome boys to choose from :)

This weekend we went to Emily Bryan's 21st birthday party and Mylee Martin said the cutest thing about you :) She is only 3 and was quite interested in my baby belly, especially the band-aid I had covering my belly button to stop it from poking through my shirt. She asked her mom while we were there what was wrong with my belly and her mom, Holly, told her I had a baby in there. She said, "I know, but why does she have a band-aid... is that so the baby can't come out?!" Hahaha, I laughed so hard- it is so cute to see the way kids think! :)

Alright Miss Brooklinn, it is about time for us to hit the hay- the time changed last night and I am hoping we can sneak in an extra hour of sleep tonight to get us ready for the work week! Goodnight lovebug! <3
