Oh man, this child isn't even born yet, and she already has SO much personality. Let me share some things with you that we already know about our little bundle of joy. First thing, this chica is not shy. We had our Doctor check the gender before the actual gender check ultrasound. She was very cooperative. Her legs were wide open, so that the doctor could tell us... "leg, leg, NOTHIN' in between." Then when we went back two weeks later for the big ultrasound, there she was, sitting with her ankles crossed, but her legs wide open again. I guess daddy and I will have to teach our little lady to sit like a princess once she comes out.
The other thing that we know about little Addie (that's not her name yet, I just don't want to keep putting "Baby Girl") is that she sure is rambuncious. Most women describe when they first feel their baby as "little flutters." Nope! That's not the case here. The first time I felt baby was when she kicked me hello. There is no pansy fluttering going on in my womb. She is a tough little nut who loves to move and stretch out. At least her power makes it easy for daddy to tell when she's trying to tell him hello.
That leads me to the other thing we know about our precious little gift. She's already chosen sides, and she's with daddy! Shortly after I had started feeling her move, I noticed that it had been a while since I'd felt her move. All day I tried jumping up and down, shaking my belly, and telling her to move so that mommy would know she was okay. Nothing. Not a flutter. I got home later that day and told Clayton how I was a little worried and told him to tell baby to move so mommy would know she was okay. Clayton leans down to my belly, tells Addie to move, and... a minute later, she was dancing around again. I guess, if she listens to one of us, that's better than nothing.
I also know that little miss princess is a spoiled child. Again, she's still not going to be with us with us for another 4 months, but already she has clothes to last her until she's 2, movies and Cd's to build her brain, books, blankets, toys. And I know it's not going to stop. My family is SO excited for her to come along. Most of the stuff are hand-me-downs, but I'm not even kidding that I have clothes in every size up to 2 years old. But believe me, I'm not complaining. If anyone else feels so inclined to pass down more clothes, books, toys, whatever, I'm open for it :o)
And the last thing I know for certain about little Baby Girl Fowers is that she will never feel a lack of love. My family already loves her, her daddy is SO excited for her to come (it helps that she's already chosen to be a daddy's girl), and I will be terrified, but thrilled once she's out here with us.
