11 more weeks.. can't be soon enough

Good morning Lucy.

It's been a while since I last posted any sort of  update on your page. Dad and I have been really busy trying to take care of the not so fun stuff awaitng your arrival, like insurance, life insurance and finances.. By the age of 10, you will never have to worry about life insurance :)

We just got tons of baby clothes for you though on Sunday. It was fun to pick everything out. Your Aunt Karla gave us 5 totes to rummage through since your cousins had outgrown the clothes. It was so hard to choose, but so fun to "dress you up" or at least imagine what you are going to look like in them. Tomorrow I would really like to go through the bags again to see what we all have and get some things organized. However, I have a lot on my to-do list so we'll see if I get that chance. We have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning, the last one before we go and see the doctor every other week. I have tons of questions to ask, but whenever I am there I seem to forget what I want to ask, even if I write it down. I'm excited to hear your heartbeat and I am really hoping you do a lot of wiggling around like you have been lately. Did you realize that you were nonstop for over 48 hours last week??? I can't imagine what you were doing in there, but it sure did keep you occupied.

Another thing on tomorrow's to-do list, pick up your bed :) I am super excited to do that. I just feel like once we get that ready in your room, things will be much easier to imagine with your arrival. I really want to see you soon. I am hoping we only have 9 weeks left, but that's me being selfish. I just can't wait to get my arms around you and start a new chapter in my life... motherhood.

I have been having so many dreams about you too. The day you arrive, how big you are going to be and what you are going to look like. Dad and I want you to have lots of hair, and with the old wives tale of heartburn creating lots of hair for you, I think you will be as hairy as a monkey!! We will see though...

So far things you may want to know about 2011 that may seem interesting to you when you get older are:

*Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl 45 with Aaron Rodgers as the MVP
*Bret Favre finally agreed to retire (something America has been waiting for since he became too big for his britches)
*Wisconsin had a huge blizzard leaving us with snow drifts up to 6 ft high
*This year is the year of the Rabbit in the Chinese Calendar
            -Some famous people born in the year of the Rabbit are Frank Sinatra and Andy Warhol (two people that mama loves)
*This time last year mom and dad never even knew eachother exsisted
*Your cousin Julia gambled for the first time and won (she was only a week and a half old)
*As of this week, the number one song to hit the charts is "Grenade" by Bruno Mars (I haven't hear it yet)

There will be so much more to add to this list since it's only the second week of February... and I am hoping that I can keep up with it.

That will be it for now, but I promise to keep an update on you after my doctor's appointment tomorrow.

Love you Lucy!
Mama
