To my baby boy...

Dear Shuler,

Nine months ago I left a child's birthday party in tears because I wanted one of my own. God must have been listening that day because two months later we found out about you. In the last seven months, you and I have been through alot together. As it turns out, I'm not as good at being pregnant as I'd hoped. Thankfully, you seem to be handling it quiet well and always seem to give me that reassuring nudge that I need to keep going. You are one active little boy and this week your activities have become visible from the outside. Your Daddy and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Mommy's belly moving with your wiggles and Koozie has not yet figured out why Mommy's belly has started poking her. You have woken me up for the last few mornings by nudging my hand, which always seems to be protectively draped over my tummy. I interpret that as "Good morning Mommy! It's time for you to eat!"
In 10 days, we go back to the doctor, which is so much fun because we get to hear your heart beating! It has been such an adventure watching my belly grow and knowing you are growing into a healthy little boy. Your friends and family are so anxious to meet you, but no one is quite as anxious as your parents. In less than 3 months, you will be here and we will all be here to show you and teach you all that is good in this world. So, thank you little one for this amazing experience. Just keep wiggling and kicking and before you know it, you'll be ready meet your family who already loves you so much!

Hugs & Kisses,
Mommy

Shuler's First Shower

Thanks Dawn for a wonderful shower! I am so blessed to have all of you in my life and Shuler will be one spoiled little boy!

28 Weeks: Doctor's appointment last week went well. I am measuring on time and Shuler is very active. Jason is working on the nursery. We will have a giraffe theme with crisp whites and tans. I finish student teaching January 26th, the first day of my 38th week.
