Where do babies come from?...and more

Morghan absolutely adores the baby. She always tells her she loves her and gives her hugs and kisses. Last night, after giving my belly a hug and kiss Morghan sits back with a puzzled look and says...

Mo: Mom, why is Gracie in your belly anyways?
Me: So she can grow big and healthy.
Mo: Well, who put her in there?
Me: God did.
Mo: Oh. How did He get her in there?

I turn to Chase who is peeking around the lamp with an indescribable look on his face... waiting for me to say something. Before I can...

Mo: I bet He put her in there in your belly button, yah that's how He did it.

She then walks off completely satisfied with her own answer.
Chase and I start cracking up, wondering how we dodged that bullet!



(while in the car I received several painful kicks that made me gasp and jump)
Morghan: What happened Mommy?
Me: The baby kicked me.
Morghan: Why?
Me: Maybe she is hungry.
Morghan: (very upset) (Baby! That is not nice. We don't kick Mommy, it hurts her. It is not time to eat dinner yet. Be nice or I won't share my M&Ms with you!

The while time she was shaking her finger at my stomach... Lol it was so hard to not laugh because she was so serious.

Playing Catch Up

So... ITS A GIRL! For anyone who didn't already know. "Weighing" in at 15 oz when she was at 20 weeks, which was considerably more than she should have been. I didn't realize what a big difference 5 ounces makes! She is great and perfectly healthy. When I get a chance I will upload some of the awesome pictures we got of her. I still haven't gained a pound and my doc is a little concerned. Part of the issue is that I was having a difficult time eating meat. If I haven't gained at least 5 pounds by 26 weeks they will run some tests and go from there. I did finally gain 1lb 5 oz in the past 2 weeks though. She moves constantly. I can often tell where she is laying which is neat.

We went to Texas where we were double-booked almost every day. We'd have lunch with one person followed by dinner with another. It was hectic but we had a great time. I wish we could have done more, but its exhausting. Morghan had 2 birthday parties while home and she had a blast.

We are back in SC now and getting back in to a routine.

(Short, simple, to the point...right?)

4 years old!

Where has the time gone? I still remember when she was born... every last detail. I can not believe how much she has grown. She is such a smart girl and makes me so proud to be her mother. I am so thankful to God for blessing us with her, and could not imagine life without her!

I' m Still Here...

I promise!

So much to blog about, I just don't have the time yet!
