Aliah had a baby … say WHAT!

My niece Aliah had the cutest baby boy back in November. I can still remember when Aliah was born. I can't believe she is old enough to have a baby. It is so fun seeing her as a mom and she is a natural at motherhood.

In January our family put on a baby shower for her. We had the shower at Ryans house. Her fiancé Kenny had to work and couldn't make it. Isn't her little guy the cutest?

Baby Kicks

Another exciting moment.

Well little angel inside of me you are sure moving around a lot lately. During the day as I am up moving around and working I don't notice a lot of movement but the moment I sit down you are moving all over the place.

I had my monthly drs appointment with Dr. Kahn today and you were kicking and moving all over the place. Your heart rate was at 140 beats/min. I just am so excited to meet you and hold you in my arms. Its amazing how much I love you already. At moments if I hold really still I can see my stomach move from your tiny little kicks.

Your daddy is anxiously awaiting to feel that first kick but it hasn't happened yet. Everytime he puts his hand on my tummy you seem to stop all movement. Very soon you will be too big to hide from him or I. He wants to feel you kick so bad. He is always touching my tummy to feel any movement from his baby girl. He loves you so much already too and is excited for you to be daddy's little girl.

We are getting things ready for your nursery. Many nights I sit in the rocking chair staring at paint swatches and fabric, dreaming up a cute room for you to come home to. Your momma loves to decorate and make things pretty so I hope you like it and it makes you sleep during the night ;)

Every day I listen to baby soothing music on the computer as I write my thoughts down or as I'm working. Everytime I play the music you seem to stop moving. Maybe this will help you when you are born and help you sleep. Oh my goodness I am so excited to be your mom. We have waited for you our whole life and I can't believe the time is coming in a few short months. Right now it seems like forever away until May 15 but I'm sure it will be here before I know it.

I hope that I am a good mom and that you will love me in return. Your closet is getting stuffed with baby clothes. Some are hand me downs from cousin Lucy and some I couldn't resist buying for you.

Keep on growing in there and keep getting stronger. I love you my little angel.

January 25, 2014 - Your daddy finally felt you kick. He was so excited and kept his hand on my belly on my belly most the night to feel more movement from you.

Your cousin Lucy is a little excited for you to be born as well. She even was playing puppets with my tummy thinking that you could respond back. She is sure excited to meet you along with all your other cousins and family.
