6 months....

It is hard to believe we are at the 6 month mark!  In 4 months or less you will be here!  I have a feeling these 4 months are going to fly by.  1 month is Halloween, the next month is Thanksgiving, then one more month is Christmas, then anytime in the next month, YOU!  Wow!  Now may be the time I start going into panic mode!!

You are much more active these days.  That darn placenta is still front and center, so your daddy still has not been able to feel you, which is killing us both because you have gotten super strong to me.  So hopefully it will be soon.  I have almost figured out your sleep patterns.  Every night around 7-8 you are the most awake and alert. 

Since you are so low, we make lots of trips to the restroom. I think I will be the one in diapers pretty soon.  You are at the right spot where every time you kick, I have to GO!  Thanks, little one!  We spend most of our day (and night) running back and forth to the bathroom. 

The two things I have craved recently, you are NOT a fan of.  A few weeks ago, it was the Jamacian Honey Chicken at Lancasters.  I know, it was way too spicy for you.  Sorry, sweet cheeks.  You only let me eat one, and you were so angry.  You kicked ALL night long. 

Then, two nights ago, I NEEDED Chinese!  We went to the House of Taipei (our favorite) and my exact words were, "This is the best eggroll I have ever had!"  It definitely hit the spot.  Not for you, though.  I barely made it home, and spent the next 15 minutes with my head in the tiolet. 

Speaking of being sick, the morning sickness is 6 months and going strong.  The doctor broke the news that unfortunately, it looks like we are in the very small percentile that are sick up until your arrival...We are still taking Zofran every day.  I am so thankful for my wonderful insurance that makes it affordable, because I'm eating them like candy!  I know you are worth it.  I'd do it a million times over for you.

They say you are now fully aware of your surroundings and can hear almost all outside noises.  Your daddy talks to you daily...we play you music, we just bought a book to start reading to you...we sway to music...fun stuff!!!  You seem to love it all. 

We love you, our little pumpkin peanut!  We pray you are comfortable and growing strong and healthy.  We cannot wait for you to get here.  Love you, sweet girl!
