This has been exciting for me as I use my girls' growth as measuring tool for the timeline of Sara's pregnancy. It has not been as exciting for Sara as this continuing growth has been accompanied by pain and discomfort. Don't get me wrong, she's excited knowing that her baby is growing and kicking in there, but that doesn't dull the sharp kicks to the spleen and the feeling that your skin is being stretched over a watermelon.
That's right you read correctly, we can feel Gabriella moving and kicking! This started about a week ago and every night the movements get stronger and more numerous. This has been in direct correlation with the American hero Michael Phelps winning a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games held in Beijing, China. Gabriella is going to be a swimmer just like her mommy.
<-----She is going to be soooo mad when she sees that I put this picture on our blog.
Anyway, we mentioned in a previous entry that we had some car trouble. We have solved that problem, we bought yet another Honda Accord. Gabriella will have a safe, dependable, four door, climate controlled vehicle to ride around in with her Mom. Also, we have begun the creation of Gabriella's wardrobe. It is more pink than any heterosexual male should ever have to endure, but what can I say. I just don't care. Because our daughter is going to be the most precious thing on this earth and she's going to wear pink, so I have to like it.
This summer is quickly coming to an end which bittersweet on a couple of levels. Sara and I have had a wonderful summer: Spending time at Mimi and Papa's new pool, visiting Nana and Granddad in Virginia and having them visit as well, seeing Kevin and Jamie (who gave Gabriella her first gift, I'll remind her to thank you), and we just hate to see all of that end. But fall is right around the corner and that means: School is starting back up, the leaves will be changing soon, the sun will shine a little different, football season is here, the WNBA is over, and the weather will provide a perfect crispness to each day, and Sara's third trimester begins soon.
I hope everyone had a great summer too! Here's to a great fall!
