Taylor Grace

My Sweet Taylor,

We are in the final stretch and I have stopped counting how many weeks I am- and am now counting down the days until we get to hold and kiss you! (16 days.... oh my goodness!!!)

Your room is coming together nicely and I only lack some decoration on the walls and curtains and a lamp. I'm hoping to take care of some of that this weekend! I washed the car seat & stroller covers last night. I really can't fathom having you HERE!

I have had a great pregnancy. The last week or so has been hard, but I think that is to be expected at this point in pregnancy (and trying to keep up with your big sister isn't easy!) I only got sick a few times in my first trimester. I was nervous and very cautiously hoping the first 9 or 10 weeks after we got pregnant. From then on, I couldn't WAIT to have a big belly and feel you kicking around! Now that we're so close to the end... I'm definitely ready to have you in my arms and not stuck under my ribs. :) I think you will like it better that way, too!

I heard this song today and it so perfectly fits the emotions I feel for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzND4P-LmOo
I can't wait to put your pictures together and play it with this song. The Lord has answered my prayers with you, baby girl.

Your big sister Caroline is SO excited to meet you. We made a sticker chart to count down the days until you come. She is pretty much obsessed with being "big" and you being the baby. I tell her all the time that she is going to have to teach you manners and how to be a lady (she is still working on these things herself!)

 
I hope to write down some more details soon but wanted to get some of this written while it was on my mind. I can't wait to see your sweet face and kiss those cheeks!
