Loving Little Lemon

Our darling little baby is currently 14 weeks into their development--which brings him/her to the size of LEMON!  It's an incredible feeling to look down at my abdomen and imagine an entire lemon squirming around in there--and boy does baby squirm! We've now had two visible ultrasounds and in both, baby just couldn't stop dancing for the camera. Baby brings such a sweet spirit to our home, it's already overwhelming! I truly feel that my love for Jared has almost doubled because Little Lemon loves daddy almost as much as I do :)

We find out what gender Lemon is in TWO WEEKS! I can't believe it's all happening so fast. Our plans are to have a little purple and pink ballerina room if it's a girl; and a pond room with fish, frogs, and ducks if we are expecting a boy. Both Jared and I have strongly felt that it is a boy from the beginning. But, of course, we would be absolutely thrilled to have a girl as well! Our favorite girl names are: Hazel Jeanne and Olivia Christine... And for boys Asher Von and Skyler (middle name to be determined).

It's recently been discovered that baby was conceived right around the time of it's cousin, Gavin's birth. Little G was almost two weeks late in popping out of my sweet sister, Kimi. At the time, we were all extremely impatient and even worried about his late arrival--but now we know that he just wanted to spend a little extra time with his little cousin who is now residing in my belly. I already know they're going to be the best of friends. When I heard Gavin's first cry in the hospital room, I was overcome with feelings of love and adoration for baby G. Jared will attest that I couldn't stop crying for joy and excitement during those first minutes of Gavin's life. I now know part of those feelings were the babe within me, letting me know what a special spirit Gavin is and how close they already are!

 I can't wait to officially become a mommy on/around July 12! Jared and I have ALWAYS said what an awesome team we make, and it's gonna be a true adventure embarking into parenthood with my BEST FRIEND! I love you, Jared Anthony, thank you for being the father of my baby :)
