27 Weeks

So this is my first blog on entry on here and yes, it is a little late in the "journey"--but hey, better late than never right?
Doug and I are celebrating our 2 month anniversary next week and next week I will enter in my 3rd trimester!!! Can you believe it? Baby Isabella Jewel will be arriving in approximately 13 weeks as of today. We are so so excited! Yes, I'm not overly enthused about the pain I may experience during her journey to the "outside" world, but the afterwards...oh yeah!!!! We can finally meet our little acrobat in my belly. I can hold her for the first time and look into her beautiful little eyes and kiss her and fall in love with her all over again.
I love her so much already! Lately, when I see anything on TV or read anything about babies, pregnancy, birth, etc. I tear up-even with commercials. And yesterday on our way to Kroger, we heard "All American Girl" by Carrie Underwood--yes, I cried! Sometimes just feeling her kicking and punching and now having her little hiccups makes me get misty eyed thinking about her and how she is our baby girl for all of time. Nobody can say that about our Isabella.
We just found out that my sister-in-law, Meredith, is having a baby girl too! Penelope Mae-cute! It's weird for me to think of my big brother being a daddy, but I know he'll be great at it. And Meredith is due to deliver Penny about 8 weeks after Isabella-obviously we are on the babies time schedule- but that means the girls will be super close in age!
Alright, I want some more of that Cranberry-Apple Bread with cream cheese right now....yum yum!!!
