You are such a little wiggle worm! Seriously, your Daddy has the opportunity to feel your cartwheels every day and it is so much fun. Sometimes I just watch my belly move in awe as you dance and flip and jump around in there. Are you ultra enthusiastic about life? Are you going to keep me on my toes? Maybe the calmer temperament of your older sister can rub off on you...;)
We are over 36 weeks now and your Daddy and I cannot wait to meet you and see your little face! Everything is pretty much ready for your arrival. The extra crib is set up, your car seat and clothes and diapers are just waiting, and our arms are anxious to hold you and snuggle you!

Flashback to 31 weeks
Your sister loves you so much already! We are really looking forward to the first moment you meet each other.
We are so curious to see when you decide to come, and what this labor will be like. Amberly came right when I hit 37 weeks, but I'll be 37 weeks this Saturday and you don't seem quite ready yet.
A few funny quirks about this pregnancy: I crave chocolate! So bad. I finally have succumbed to the temptation - just a half a cup of chocolate chips satisfy the craving. Yesterday and today, I even put a handful in my green smoothie to grind up! I just laugh at myself and tell myself I'll be more disciplined post baby.
I can only sleep with the assistance of three extra pillows. One for my back, one between my legs, and one for this ever growing baby bump. I wake up every two to three hours and my goodness is this body tired but it is what it is.
Today was the first day I really struggled to get through one of my kickboxing DVDs. I must have looked hilarious. Well, I made it to 36.5 weeks! I think my body only wants lower impact exercise from here on out.
Baby Girl,
You are so loved by so many. Your Daddy says he can "feel the veil thinning" and I love that; I cannot stop thinking about it. I have been busy and stressed and rather anxious at times but your father is so soothing and so good at remembering the eternal picture. We are such lucky girls to have him in our lives!
