A big thanks

Baby Watson at 17 weeks!

I think I have winded down some after yesterday's events...but I am still in awe. I do believe that our baby girl already has a closet bigger than mine. She has accumulated a lot already due to her mommy being an overly excited pregnant woman. I am now on the lookout for a cheap Paul Frank outfit to go home in. We found the cutest bootie and hat set yesterday, but I need to outfit to match. David and I just love the monkeys! We exchanged the overalls and baby boy onesies that David bought a few weeks ago for a cute, pink "Daddy loves me" outfit. I don't think David minds. Then, we made a stop by Goodwill and left with 10 more outfits all in pink. I swore I would never go pink crazy if it was a girl, but some things are meant to be changed. Right?





Baby also made a milestone today when she responded to daddy's voice. He kissed her goodbye after lunch and she did a really big kick. Oh, it is absolutely amazing. This is the most exciting time in my life and I plan on treasuring every single moment.





I was looking over the ultrasound pictures yesterday and noticed how big her feet were (look above). This baby's foot is as big as her leg bone. Does this mean she is going to be tall? She must have her great-grandmother's feet and height. That makes me smile a bit, because I know my Grandma Frances is very proud of this little one already. She would have LOVED to see me pregnant. In a way, I feel like the birth of a new baby somehow carries memories of the past. I just have this idea that somehow or another, a new baby has a link to the past. Whether it be by carrying on the personality of someone who has passed, by the way they look, their birthday, or even by their name. Somehow, someway. Maybe this little one is honoring my grandmother by having her tallness! I wonder if it's possible for a trait to be passed down 3 or more generations? I mean, I am somewhat tall for a female. I also wear a size 9 or 10, which is not average by any means. David's family has tall people too, but he isn't very tall for male. He is about a 1/2 inch taller than me, which is about average. I made a joke yesterday that this baby might have already outgrown her new newborn booties and socks...uh oh.





Thank you to everyone who has congraguated us and wished us good blessings. It warms my heart to know we have so many friends and family who are praying and wishing this pregnancy will continue to be healthy and that in a few months we can welcome a baby girl into the world. We feel very blessed and can not wait to see what kind of woman she will become.
