To Our Precious, Little Baby Girl...

The hope for this blog is that we get to share with our daughter-to-be, family, and friends what is going on in our lives as we start getting prepared for her BIG DAY and arrival outside of the belly! It'll be a no-holds-barred attempt at our new experiences, challenges, and day-to-day life while our little "bun in the oven" continues to bake. At some point, we hope this will be a loving story for you, little girl, to look back on and hopefully will also be entertaining and educational to read! We love you, little monkey, and are so blessed to have you growing stronger and stronger every day! Love, Mom and Dad

"The Most Important Things In Life Aren’t Things."

~Anthony J D’Angelo

Woke up a few times last night from being all stuffed up...allergies, perhaps. Other than that, I still woke up rested! Watched last night's episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition on Hulu with the family from Neenah, Wisconsin while getting ready for work this morning. It was fun to recognize some of the places they were filming at. Enjoyed work today with the boys! Both boys needed a day at home after a long weekend of birthday festivities and a house full of family. They were happy and fun to play with-J showed me a bunch of his new gifts and we got to play a lot while it sprinkled outside. It was so nice to have seventy degree weather today...I hope this fall weather sticks around! Got M to roll over two more times today and tried to capture it on video camera for his parents today, but the memory card was full. We'll try again tomorrow. I even made the family a chicken dumpling dish for dinner tonight. We'll see how it tasted when I show up tomorrow. Sad to say that the family's grandpa lost his battle with a sickness last night (he's been unconscious in a hospital in Arizona for awhile now). Prayers are with their family and hopefully they boys' Dad will be able to spend some quality time with his family when he flies out to help with arrangements on Wednesday!

Tony made some chicken patties, spaghetti, and corn for dinner and it really hit the spot. My belly seems to be getting bigger by the day and I woke up, again, this morning with a lopsided belly as I think Monkey's head was on my left side until gravity set in. Haven't got the kick chart done yet, but that is the first thing on the To Do list once the blog is finished. Got caught up on a lot of emails tonight, wrote out some snail mail today, and was going to put some old coats up on Craigslist tonight, but I didn't realize how late it was getting. Maybe I will do it this weekend (can't do it tomorrow because Tony and I have a three hour pregnancy class tomorrow evening after work where we will be learning about things to expect in the last quarter of the pregnancy and also get a tour of the labor and delivery unit of our hospital).

I am ready for bed, so I already popped in a FRIENDS dvd and am wearing my pjs. Peyton has been kicking and moving a lot today and I think is hoping to get her movements noticed by her dad in the near future. It seems like every time she makes visible movements or movements that her Dad could feel, he is fast asleep. We will keep trying.

Good night and happy to be chillin' in this October weather! Blessed for all the "non-things" that surround us! You are all among the things we are thankful for! xoxox
