Hey Hey You You

Good afternoon little miss Ellie. 

I'm starting to think you don't like me. I've been trying very hard to feel you kick or punch or just MOVE at all. Do you know what you do EVERY time my hand comes near your mommy's tummy? ummmm... nothing! You'll be all active and Lyndsay will be making faces because you're moving and then she says "Laurel, right now!" Right then, you always stop. We have to put an end to this! :) 

You got your first stern talking to. You little trouble maker you! You were squishing your mom's gallbladder. Like kicking it. We ended up missing a cool little consignment shopping trip we had planned on but your DeDe always dependable, went this morning and bought things for you. 

Your parents should be ordering your crib today. They've narrowed it down, and now Lyndsay just wants it all set up. - DeDe has her crib set up. Apparently i'm way behind. You have nothing to sleep in at my house! I at least need a playpen, because right now all I can do is drive you around in your car-seat I have in place in my car already. 

Your name is official (I Hope). Drum roll please.............

ISABELLA ADELAIDE AGUIRE

I will be calling you Ellie for short. until you decide what you want to be called that is. 

Let's play!

Hello Doll! Let's play catch-up. I realized I didn't tell you about the not so fun trip to the hospital that made us all get a little more prepared for you. Story Time...



Your mommy had been feeling terrible-  she was in pain, sick to her stomach. Just not feeling good. Finally it got to the point where she couldn't stand it- DeDe's back was out and couldn't help much so they called me to come over. We jumped in the car and took her to Nashville. We had to wait for what felt like forever to go back to the room. By this time she wasn't hurting as bad. Which was a good thing for her. Auntie Lana and I waited patiently in the waiting room - we watched tv and Lana ate snacks because we missed dinner. You're mom and dad were in the room and kept sending us updates, thankfully everything was okay. They told her she was dehydrated and she needed to drink lots of water. Then she went to another doctor and they told us it was her gallbladder. She's waiting until after we meet you to have it taken out. But do you know what that means? No more junk food or fried food or anything yummy! ha ha your poor mommy! She's doing really well with it though, and so far so good.  But we did realize we need to be way more prepared for when you actually come!


You're first party is in the works! 


I've finally settled on a theme for your baby shower. It should be so cute. Its going to be fun and perfect since you're daddy and his friends will be there too -  not just your Mommy's. I've worked on the invitations and one day you'll see them. :) I'm putting alot of effort to make it as adorable as you. 


Mommy is nesting!


At least thats what DeDe says. Apparently this means she's getting ready for you. She's washed all your clothes, and she's organized them all too! Its getting so close and you already have so much stuff! 


You have a new friend! She was just born the other day. She doesn't live close to us- but we'll get to see her occasionally. Her name is Mia, and she has an older brother whose name is Josh. Her mom used to live here and her grandma still does. I'm sure you'll get to know her. :)
