Her eyes are open in this one!!




I have seven weeks left before we meet our present from Heaven!! A few weeks ago we went and got these 4-D pictures done. She was not in the picture taking mood. She kept covering her face with her arms, but we did get a few good snaps. She actually opened her eyes during the photos. The tech said that is very rare. The names we are deciding on are Savannah, Sienna, and Laila. If I have my way it will be Savannah, but I guess Rob should have his say as well:) I am still sick with morning sickness about once a week, and I'm as big as a whale. I am pleasently surprised at the diet changes that this baby girl has brought on. I no longer drink soda. I can't stand the taste of it and all I drink is water. I also love salad. Hope this continues after pregnancy. I have been highly emotional this last week. Looking through Joslyn's baby photos. I have no idea where the time has gone. My little girl is so big. She told Rob that when she grows up she will still live with us even when she has her own kids. And if we don't have enough room then she'll move next door. I think I should get his one in writing:) I cannot wait for Joslyn to be a big sister. I am so thrilled to be able to experience the sibling relationship, since I'm an only child. What an adventure!!! Soon it will be our girls, not just our daughter!! Emotions have been overwhelming this month also because of Mother's Day. I wish so much that Rob's mom and my grandma where here to meet this new little one. I have such fond memories of them and Joslyn. Although my grandma passed 1 week after Joslyn was born and she was unable to meet her here on earth, I remember the day I told her we were expecting. I was so scared to tell her because Rob and I weren't married. I didn't expect her reaction at all. She teared up and said I'm so tickled, babies bring such joy to our lives. She was the most excited person that we told. I wish I could see her care and joy for my daughters the way she did for me here on Earth. Rob's mom passed away so suddenly I feel a strong ache in my heart for my husband and daughters. When Joslyn was born she came and stayed with us for about a week. When grandma met her new grandchild she slowly unwrapped the blanket and examined all of Joslyn's tiny fingers and toes. She seemed to take an eternity to touch and feel each of them. She remarked that she needed to unwrap her present slowly to experience it in the fullest and she thanked me for her most precious present. Joslyn and grandma Deedy had a very cute bond. She would send Joslyn notes and cards just about every week. Grandma Deedy's life was all about her grandchildren. And she found unique ways of letting each child know how special they were. OH how I wish we had more time with these loving women. They both valued family so so much. Life is so precious. We should rejoice with the ones we love and let them know how dear they are to us. I hope that my Grandma and mother in law know the love that we have for them and I'm looking forward to the day when I can wrap my arms around them once again.
