It felt like you were never going to get here. Monday I went to work to keep my mind off the fact that you were not here yet. Tuesday we had our check up, and well, I was so uncomfortable afterwards that I just cried all day long. Mainly because it was one more day that you weren't here. However, later Tuesday night things started to change and man could I feel it. I went to bed at 11:30 with some discomfort that turned in to full on back pain. I couldn't sleep so I came out to see your daddy and complain about how uncomfortable I was. So at 2 in the morning, we called the hospital to let them know we were coming on over to be observed... hoping that we could get the ball going. Unfortunately they sent us home after an hour of observation. However, you weren't having it so when we got home, you fought your little heart out to make it a point that you were ready to come to this world. After taking a bath and timing contractions for an hour and a half, I felt it was time for us to head back to the hospital. Good thing we did too because we had progressed a bunch!! By the time we got all settled in our room, we had some huge pain relief! Thank goodness for the epidural... from 10:00 am til 8:00 pm we had a pain free time. We had a lot of visitors too, all waiting for you to come on out. Grandma Shelly and Grandma Laurie were up there all day, and so was your cousin Julia :) Later, Grandpa Rick, Grandma Kathy, and Aunt Robin showed up for a while and Aunt Jenny came up until you were born. Robin had to leave for work, but she rushed back over right after just in time for your arrival. Your cousin Montana and Uncle Cody were there for a while too. You got so many new toys and clothes, beautiful flowers and balloons... everybody was sooo excited for you to come to this world.<br />
<br />
At 8:00 the big event started. Mama was in soooo much pain that she couldn't believe how much screaming I did, all the tears and the words that came out of my mouth. 2 and a half hours of pushing, I needed some major help, so to get your beautiful face out of me, a crew of about 8 or so doctors came rushing in and vacuumed you right out. 4 big pushes and a little suction got you into this world within 15 minutes!!! The minute you arrived, there was a whirlwind of chaos. Dad was in tears with your Grandma's, the doctors cleaned you up and took you to see everybody in the waiting room. I didn't even get to see you until a good 15 or so minutes but once I saw you I was in love.<br />
<br />
Once the chaos settled down, mama and daddy got to take you to our new room where we spent some quality time together to get to know you sleeping and eating patterns. While there you had more visitors that were so excited to hold you and take tons of pictures of you. You did very well too, no crying, but maybe it's because you slept the whole time.<br />
<br />
Yesterday we got to take you home, but before we got home, we had to stop by mama's work to drop off papers and everybody who was there working awwed all over you. Then we headed home where Grandma Laurie had a big nice surprise for you... a swing! and you fell in love with it, rocking and staring at the animals above you. Later, Grandma Shelly, Grandpa Chris and your cousin Montana stopped by. Grandma Shelly loves you so much, she was so happy to see you and have you in her arms during her visit.<br />
<br />
You have been such a great little lady who loves to eat, sleep and poop :) I couldn't ask for more.<br />
<br />
We love you so much Miss Phair, and we always will.<br />
<br />
Muah!!!!<br />

Both Dad and I are really busy getting prepared for your arrival and well, we have ants in our pants. Last week, on the 13th, I had my appointment for you. There, they examined me and found that I was 1 cm dilated. I was happy because that meant if I wanted to, I could get my membranes scraped. It doesn't sound fun, and really... it wasn't. Everybody is different... this was a very painful thing for me. Before that happened, you were giving me some serious contractions that I can only assume were Braxton Hicks. Ever since then, nothing... what's up with that missy??? I only kid, but I really started to get my hopes up with you coming early. So as you have been able to tell, I have done everything in the book to get the labor going. Your dad is getting extremely excited to meet you and really wants you out so he can start his bonding time with you and begin the adventurous journey of fatherhood. I am getting excited to meet you too... I feel like I know you already, yet I wanna meet this little tyke that has been causing me to go crazy from time to time. :)<br />
<br />
Over the weekend your friend in utero was born. This caused some major mixed feelings. I am very excited for him to be here, but soooooooo jealous that I don't have you yet, especially because you are due a day before he was. So to know that he came early made me very envious. I know that you will come when you are ready, but can't you be ready now?<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I have my doctor's appointment to see how much I have progressed. I really hope I have progressed a lot. I think, actually I know, I will be crushed if I haven't. Today is the first day since last week that I started to feel funny again. My lower stomach feels like a constant pulled muscle and today from my bellybutton down, I have been having streaks of pain. Is this a sign?? I hope so, but if not I will be asking to have you by the weekend. I know it's a lot to ask, but if you knew what I was going through, you would understand.<br />
<br />
I love you a whole bunch Lucy, and the next post that will be on here is from the hospital awaiting your arrival.<br />
<br />
I hope to see you soon little girl!<br />

<br />
So I'm a bit late in updating this but last sunday (the 13th) was your baby shower. Some family and friends were kind enough to play photographer so I could participate with your momma. Both Grandma Shelly and Grandma Laurie and your aunts put on a great mexican buffet chicken for me, beef for everyone and a soy version for momma. She doesn't like dead animals for food as you will learn soon enough. Actually she doesn't like dead animals no matter what, I hope you get that trait too.<br />
But I digress, your family decorated the hall of one of the churches in Marshall really beautiful and there were little chocolates on the table. There was a delicious cake too.<br />

You got a great deal of presents to help us get ready for you to be comfortable when you come home with us. I can't even describe how generous our friends and family have been. You are one lucky girl for how many people that love you and haven't even met you but only seen your protruding home in Momma's belly. Your Great Grandma Bonnie was there and got you some cute things. Aunt Robin wrote down everything that you received so you can see how nice everyone was when you get older.<br />
Some of your family gave you some money so Momma and I opened up a bank account for you, hopefully we will teach you the right way to save money.<br />
When we got home from the days festivities your Aunt Karla, Uncle Rob, cousins Alyssa and Autumn came over to help us bring all your new things in the house. Mom and I tried to rearrange your room to fit everything but I broke my toe moving a chair. Your mom was more worried about it than me, so we focused on the smaller things. We set up all the bedding in your crib and now its super stylish.<br />
The next day Grandma Laurie and Aunt Jenny stopped over with your cousin Julia. Aunt Jenny and your mom really put your room together so now there is enough room in there that you can roll and crawl around to your hearts desire. Its looking like a real room fit for a little lady.<br />
The weather is getting nice and your kitty Elle Louise is getting really excited and makes me open the windows in your room so she can hear all the birds while she sits next to your crib.<br />
Today I packed up your diaper bag which looks really rad and even matches your bedding. I think your mom is getting really excited to take you for walks in your new stroller since its gonna be really nice outside when you arrive which is awesome because you get to bask in the warm summer before having to be super bundled up when we go outside. I can't wait to take you to the beach.<br />
I started last night to write in your baby book. I can't add too much because some of the information won't be accurate if I add now. Plus there are some things that Momma's gotta help jog my memory on because the first month we realized you were gonna arrive was a big blur.<br />
We are also planning on printing out this blog we've been writing to you so you will be able to read one day all the times we wrote to you. Maybe you'll get a kick out of it and not be embarrassed by your parents but I'm pretty sure we'll embarrass you plenty throughout your life so by the time you read all of them you will be use to it.<br />
OK well I'm cleaning up the apartment so your Momma can come home to a clean place after work and relax.<br />
Lookin' forward to see you Peapod.<br />
<br />

So this past weekend your mom and I assembled your dresser that Grandma Shelly and Grandpa Chris bought you. It was one hell of a pain in the butt. It took us a few hours of putting some of it together then taking it apart. The directions were as crystal clear as Louisiana swamp water. Finally once we got it all together minus one drawer we noticed that the last drawer had two of the same part and thats one of the reasons were having so much trouble. But alas we got the problem solved the next day and last night your mom was filling your dresser with all the clothes you have gotten already.<br />
Little girl you have tons more clothes than I do. But your mom still has us both beat. haha.<br />
Plus yours and your mom's baby shower is coming up very soon so you will have many more things I'm sure. It will be interesting to see everyone together.<br />
Then it's just a hop, skip and a jump until you pop outta your momma.<br />
Thats the real fun begins.<br />
We all also went to your cousin Julia's baptism and then went over to your Aunt and Uncle's house for a bit. It was a good weekend, minus the frustration the dresser was giving us, but we accomplished putting it together ourselves without help from anyone else.<br />
<br />
Your mom demands that you come into the world with a full head of hair since you have been giving her tons of heartburn. Apparently that means you're gonna be hairy. Maybe you'll be a wolf-girl. Who knows, even if thats the case I'll love ya anyway. Probably means we'll just have to shave your face more than I shave mine. hahaha<br />
<br />
Looking forward to seeing you sometime in April.<br />
<br />
Love dad.Lucia Phair...http://www.blogger.com/profile/01739904536545900868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254416862237639046.post-39644910682496117012011-02-13T08:37:00.000-08:002011-02-13T08:37:42.195-08:00Center of attentionGood morning Lucy!!!<br />
<br />
Last night you went to your second show, Against Me and boy were you ever the center of attention. You have been to another show before, Lucero, however nobody even could tell you were there. Being that you were soooo tiny in my belly :) But last night, whoa. We had a good time. I could feel you jammin' in my belly and enjoying yourself. We were on the first floor for Cheap Girls last night and when things got a little rowdy, oh man did you have an entourage to protect you. I couldn't believe how many people actually paid attention to you verses the show. We met a couple who was extremely excited to know you were at the show, they had every one of their kids at shows too when they were your size. So they really wanted to make sure that we enjoyed ourselves without any crazy moshing interfering our little bubble around us.<br />
<br />
Once Against Me took the stage, Dad and I knew it was going to be much better for me to go a little further back and higher up. While dad was back talking to that couple on the floor, I made some more new friends who were super excited to see you being there too. A few guys introduced themselves to me and thought we were pretty cool for still coming out even though we have almost only 9 more weeks left (according to the doctor). After two songs or so, Dad came up to hang with us for the rest of the evening. It was such a good time and I am soo glad you were able to let me get out last night.<br />
<br />
After the show ended, we had an insane amount of people, mainly couples, come up and touch my belly and just talk to us about how happy they were to see us out. People we didn't even know. It was beyond crazy. I really enjoyed the fact that even though it was a rowdy show and drinking was involved (of course not by me, we enjoyed ice cubes) that people really respected the personal bubble of safety we had for you. It was almost as though you were the show and we got to hear the reviews afterwards :)<br />
<br />
My only issue I had last night was the fact that my feet were and still are swelled up to the size of Nerf footballs. It's ok though, that is something that I can handle.<br />
<br />
As for today, since I spent all day on my feet yesterday, I am going to do some much needed relaxation and then get your room set up. Maybe paint you a little something if I can think up something creative. I am going to start setting up your closet and dad and some friends are going to be setting up your crib. All in all, it should be a good day.<br />
<br />
Love you tons and tons!!<br />

<br />
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 :)<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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... <br />
<br />
So far things you may want to know about 2011 that may seem interesting to you when you get older are:<br />
<br />
*Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl 45 with Aaron Rodgers as the MVP<br />
*Bret Favre finally agreed to retire (something America has been waiting for since he became too big for his britches)<br />
*Wisconsin had a huge blizzard leaving us with snow drifts up to 6 ft high<br />
*This year is the year of the Rabbit in the Chinese Calendar<br />
-Some famous people born in the year of the Rabbit are Frank Sinatra and Andy Warhol (two people that mama loves)<br />
*This time last year mom and dad never even knew eachother exsisted<br />
*Your cousin Julia gambled for the first time and won (she was only a week and a half old)<br />
*As of this week, the number one song to hit the charts is "Grenade" by Bruno Mars (I haven't hear it yet)<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
That will be it for now, but I promise to keep an update on you after my doctor's appointment tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Love you Lucy!<br />

<br />
So I should have posted this sooner, however this past week has been nothing but chaotic! You are going to be happy to know that you have a baby girl cousin that was born on January 12th. We are all so excited for you to have somebody close in age to grow up with and share some experiences. Her name is Julia Celeste and she is looking forward to meeting you. Over the weekend, Dad and I got some practice with babies. I changed a diaper for the first time.. let me tell you, it was extremely difficult... I hope that I can get the hang of it. I am sure I will, but don't be too upset with me if you have some saggy britches for the first week or so.<br />
<br />
I am not going to lie, seeing Julia for the first time caused a bit of a panic attack. I had the realization rush over me the following day that in 3 months or less you are going to grace us with your presence. It still is very scary for me, especially because if you come early, we won't have anything ready for you. I have been working my fingers to the bone trying pay off some bills and save up for you at the same time... I hope I can keep this momentum.<br />
<br />
You had a doctors appointment the day your cousin was born. Everything seems to be looking outstanding. Your heart rate was 145 beats per minute, you must have been resting because the day prior you were doing nothing but stumping around in my belly. Over the past few days I have actually been able to watch you move around. It looks pretty crazy and surreal to see you moving around in there.. my stomach ripples from the outside. I just have such a hard time understanding the concept that it's you.. again, it's so surreal. I can't wait for daddy to see you move around in my belly. Everytime I call him over you always stop... it drives me crazy!!! You are such a stinker already, but I love it :)<br />
<br />
Alright, that's it for now baby girl.<br />
<br />
Mom and Dad love you very much and are counting down the months... soon weeks then days before we get to see your beautiful face.Lucia Phair...http://www.blogger.com/profile/01739904536545900868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254416862237639046.post-43579948380857897982011-01-09T07:42:00.000-08:002011-01-09T07:42:04.460-08:006 months inGood morning Lucy,<br />
<br />
It's been a while since I last posted a blog about you, your development and all the news that surrounds you. Well, lets catch up. You are in week 25, and you are the size of a half gallon of milk. Holy Cow!! It's true, and boy I feel it. Yesterday you were a woman on a mission. I am not sure what the mission was, however you were up and at it by 6:00 in the morning and seriously did not quit until 11:00 at night. It was crazy. You were kicking me all over the place, stretching, moving, elbowing me and so on. It was nuts. What was even crazier is that I could actually see the movement on my belly. I couldn't believe that I could actually see your movements in my belly.<br />
<br />
In other news, you finally have bedding :) I am sooooo excited! However, you actually won't get it until March 13th. It's ok though. Just knowing you have a cute set for your crib makes me ecstatic. Also, on last Sunday, your Aunt Jenny and I went and finished up the registry at Babies R Us. I really hope we picked out the best and safest things for you. And I hope you appreciate everything you end up getting.<br />
<br />
Dad surprised me the other day with a package in the mail. You got yourself your first super hero onsie. It is Wonder Woman, however I had no clue for a good half hour that the symbol was Wonder Woman. Considering the television shows we watching, I thought it was a pro wrestling shirt... whoops! I thought wrong. You are also getting a lot of movies in the mail that your dad insists you watch over any popular shows that today has to offer.<br />
<br />
Ok babycakes... Mama has to get going with her day. I love you tons and tons!!!!<br />
<br />
Muah!!<br />

<br />
Mom and Dad just got done cleaning out your room. We went through the couple of totes you have of toys and clothes to get ready and organized. You are going to look soooo adorable in the outfits you just got today.<br />
<br />
We decided to use a gift card we had at Baby's R Us and while we were there today we thought about registering. It only took about an hour or so, but we picked out some cute things. At the end of our excursion we found an outfit we would like to see you in on your way home as well as a couple of cute summer outfits. There was also a super duper cute snowsuit that we got for you too. We didn't want to wait, plus it's on clearance. Its fluffy and white with giraffes and elephant I think. Soooo darn adorable!!!<br />
<br />
Grandma and Aunt Jenny called me to let me know they found the baby shower invites. I can't wait to see who all comes. :)<br />
<br />
Ok, mama is super exhausted right now, but I promise to put some more updates up soon.<br />
<br />
Love you squirt!!! MUAH!!!<br />

<br />
Today has been such an eventful day. We have been waiting for this moment for such a long time and are extremely excited to greet you into our family. Everybody who already knows is super excited to see you and meet you in person. They already love your name :) Here are some updated photos of you and me.<br />

Do you know what you are??? What your name is going to be???<br />
<br />
We love you baby Lucia Phair Kenworthy!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
You are gorgeous!!!<br />
<br />
Can't wait to learn more about you,<br />
Love, Mom and DadLucia Phair...http://www.blogger.com/profile/01739904536545900868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254416862237639046.post-14380444577093037772010-12-06T16:32:00.000-08:002010-12-06T16:32:00.156-08:00Newness...Hey there Peapod,<br />
So we are all finally moved into what will be your first home, well... more like your first apartment. Either way its where you will call home once you are all out of your momma's belly.<br />
I'm extremely excited to find out next Monday if your junk is on the outside or inside so we know what to call you. You will always be Peapod to me but atleast I will know your proper name.<br />
<br />
Your room is gonna be a bit crowded at first. Your momma and I are a bit of pack rats. You have a big kids bed in there and a rocking chair for the nights when you need some help falling asleep. I suppose that will depend on how much like you are similar to either your momma or me. I take a while to sleep and your mom can pass out on her feet given the chance. We still have to get your crib and such yet but soon enough that will be there too.<br />
Well I just wanted to give you an update on what your living quarters are going to be like.<br />
<br />
Oh and just so you know the first night we were here I felt you kick your mom, I'm sure its cramped in there but take it easy on her organs.<br />
<br />
Love you and can't wait to meet you.<br />

<br />
<br />
I can't wait to hear your heart beat again. That appointment is the week before we find out who you are going to be. Thanksgiving is coming up and man I have a lot to be thankful for. It's hard to believe that I would be thankful for as many things that I am this year. So much has changed for both me and your dad in 2010. We are trying our best to adapt to the changes and I think we are doing it rather gracefully. And we are definitely getting used to having constant changes, as we should be since next year we will be having the biggest change in our lives.<br />
<br />
That's it for now.<br />
<br />
I love you :)<br />

We got your first home all lined up. I'm super excited. You have your own room and its gonna look awesome when we decorate it.<br />
Grandma Shelly is looking for your bed. Woohoo.<br />
Its gonna be great. I can't wait for you to see it.<br />
We will be there for a few months before you will be in the world. So we should have it nice and set up for you.<br />
Sooooo looking forward to it.<br />
<br />
Love you<br />

<br />
This week is your 16th week. It seems to be going much smoother these days now, thank the lord :) I went to the doctors today for our monthly check up. You are growing so much! I have now gained 7 pounds and within a week from seeing the doctor, she even mentioned the pop in my belly. It's no secret now, I don't look chubby, I look pregnant. And you are moving around like crazy kiddo. Thankfully it's during the day that I actually feel you moving around and not at night... lets keep it that way ;) Your heart rate was 154 beats per minute, that's what I like to hear! And you were found right away once again. I love that you are not hiding anymore. We get to finally find out if you are a Lucy or Liam on December 13th... so at 3:00- like 3:30 or so, please please please show off your special parts. I wouldn't ever ask you to do that, but we both really want to know exactly who you are so we can make your arrival the best possible.<br />
<br />
Over the weekend your Grandma Shelly came over and she helped me pick out different styles of cribs for you. We have to find a time for us to get together and actually look at them in person. It will be a good time. And on Saturday, I dropped off some yarn for a baby blanket that I originally wanted to do, but I just don't have the time. So your Grandma Laurie is going to make you a baby blanket... but hey, at least I got to pick out the colors.<br />
<br />
The other day I wanted to jump on here and write down a few things that I want you to be able to look back at, at any time, to help you as you grow. It may be mushy, it may be silly, but it's the stuff you gotta learn and I would rather be telling you these things instead of you learning the hard way.<br />
<br />
1) Don't be afraid of having your own opinions and beliefs. Some people may not agree with you and would want to debate their own towards you, but stick to your guns. Don't change who you are to please another person.<br />
2) There are always going to be bullies out there. In today's news there are children who have to deal with it every day and have turned to drastic measures to end the bullying. Please remember you can always talk to people about it. We are here for you and want you to be around for a long, long time.<br />
3) We all have our insecurities, nobody and I mean nobody is perfect. There will always be people you will be jealous of but there will also be people who are jealous of you.<br />
4) Your dad told you this earlier, but high school is not the world. Yes, try to have a good time and meet new people who you can be your friends, but people always come and go in life. There is nothing you can do to control it. If you are having a hard time with a "friend" let them go.. sometimes its not just worth the heartache to deal with the drama.<br />
5) One day you are going to fall in love. Your first love is always the hardest to get over. It feels like the end of the world. Your dad and I both know what it is like to go through a tough and painful breakup. Don't give up on your dreams because your heart is broken. Just take a break from life, pull yourself together and know we will always be there to help you get through the tough times.<br />
6) If you are gay, it's ok. Don't pretend to be somebody you aren't. We love you no matter what. We want you to be happy like we are and if that means you like people of the same sex as you, don't worry to express it.<br />
7) Don't be afraid to come with us with any problems or questions you may have. At one time, both me and your dad have had the same questions and problems. Even if it is embarrassing or hard to talk about... trust me, we will understand.<br />
8) Try your hardest at school and focus on what you are passionate about. Do everything you can to make those passions become your life. We will be behind you and try our best to provide whatever it is you need to make your dreams come true.<br />
9) Sometimes we lose people who are close to us. I can promise you it will be one of the hardest things you will have to deal with. And it doesn't get easier with each loss. However, time really does heal a broken heart, though it may not help the missing of the person, but things will go on. And once again, we will be by your side.<br />
10) Life can be extremely unfair to you (in your eyes), don't give up. The harder you work, the better chances you have of getting out of that slump. It may take some time, so don't lose patience. Just try to look at the glass as half full, be grateful for the experience and learn and grow from everything that happens. You will get there, even if the road is a little longer for you than it is anybody else.<br />
<br />
And don't forget we love you, your whole family loves you. You are going to be welcomed into this world with a line up of people who are going to smother you with love. So if you feel you need to turn to somebody else with problems or concerns, there are going to be plenty of people who are more than happy to lend a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to lend.<br />
<br />
This is beginning to be a really long post, and I could go on forever, but I am going to stop for tonight. I look forward to seeing your beautiful face soon.<br />
<br />
Love you tons,<br />

<br />
So, we found a place for us to move into when you arrive. Actually, your dad will be moving in sooner than you and me. You will pretty much be half way between all of your grandparents, so it'll be nice for them to see you pretty much whenever they want. I just got off the phone with your Aunt Jenny. We had so much to talk about with you and your cousin. Your cousin is going to be born 4 months before you. In fact, you will have two cousins born within months of you. All together that is 7 cousins that can't wait to be your friend :) You shouldn't feel alone or bored because they are all over the area. You are going to have 4 girl cousins, 2 boy cousins and one to be announced. I can't wait to find out what you are. I was for sure you were a boy right away but as of the last 3 or so weeks i keep thinking you are a girl. You are giving me mixed signals haha. I dream every single night about you, and the moment I lay my eyes on you... and you are a little girl. Sorry if you are a boy and I am talking about all of my dreams of a girl to you. Either way, I will not care what so ever what you are, as long as you are happy and healthy we already know you are going to be perfect.<br />
<br />
Alright, this was just a brief chit chat. My next doctors appointment is on Tuesday, I will be 16 weeks and 1 day with you and I can't wait to hear your little heartbeat. I am sure I will have a lot more to say to you then.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So much to tell you about, I'll probably forget most of it and ramble on about something else, you will come to find out I do that alot, it is a Kenworthy trait that my dad had and your great grandmother were/are famous for, you will probably get it too and it will drive your mom crazy like I do. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been waiting for you my whole life, I've been thinking about you ever since I first thought about sex. I can't wait to get to see you for the first time in person. If you would have seen the grin that came across my face when I first saw you come up on the ultrasound monitor, it could have lit up Las Vegas for a week. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was even more amazing because I felt like I lost my heart when we thought you weren't gonna make it. Thats how much I've been looking forward to you. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It doesn't matter to me if you end up a boy or girl just as long as you are a healthy little bastard( I use that term correctly and lovingly) I really hope that you get all the best traits of your mom and me,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a strong mind and a love of animals</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and hopefully skip over our bad ones like our terrible digestion.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've got so much to teach you. I hope you dig even half of the things I know a lot about. I think you should know all the words to Jimmy Cliff's "You Can Get It If You Really Want" and Paul Westerberg's "Mr. Rabbit" before you know "The Wheels on The Bus" I doubt your mom and grandmother's agree but maybe we can bond over that. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I can't wait to teach you what zombies say: (pssst here's a hint: BRRRRAAAAAAAAAIIIIINNNNNSSSS)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will get to see all the coolest kids movies, I've already got a running tab in my head of what you might love even though I've yet to meet you.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking of things to teach you, straight off the bat here is one you need to know right away: It is known as the "Golden Rule": Treat others the way you want to be treated. If you want people to be mean to you then be mean to them, if you want nice things done for you and people to be nice then you need to do the same. Its a big one.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My number one job for you is to keep you on the right path, now there are MANY MANY different paths in life and you can pick any one of those but there is totally ONE wrong path and I will do whatever I can to keep you off that path. I've seen many people take that road and it's not good. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope I can teach you some of the lessons that I had to learn the hard way so you won't, like high school isn't the end all, be all. Life goes on and most of the people in high school you won't ever see again so ignore all the mean people in those four years. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also a strong work ethic is extremely important. I didn't find that one out until much later on in life. I wish I could just tell you these things while you are in the womb so you can skip over all the hard stuff but that hard stuff build character and I'm hoping so much that your mom and I help you become the best person you can be. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You are gonna have a buttload of support and people fawning all over you, just wait. You have no idea. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm so excited I keep looking at clothes and toys and all kinds of baby things for you. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really want you to have bright, fun clothes that aren't gender specific, I don't care if you are gay, straight, or whatever so I don't mind you being a boy and wearing pinks and purples or being a girl and wearing overalls. As long as you are happy that's my goal. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I could ramble on forever, but I've got plenty of time for that so I'll be done for now.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Love you little Peapod.</span>Lucia Phair...http://www.blogger.com/profile/01739904536545900868noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254416862237639046.post-53798753038347571532010-11-02T18:02:00.000-07:002010-11-02T18:02:40.745-07:00Today's activtiesGood evening,<br />
<br />
I just wanted to let you know that I was grateful to hear your heartbeat today. I get to hear it next week too!!! Hopefully your dad will get to come as well. I know that it would really brighten up his week.<br />
<br />
So today I picked out your bedding and sent it on over to your grandma Filenius. Your grandma Mckenna-Kenworthy wants to get together soon so we can pick out your bed :) I can't wait to find out what you are, I want to start getting things together for you, help me prepare for your arrival even though we still have a little less than six months until you get here.<br />
<br />

<br />
We found out we were having you when you were 4 weeks in the process of growing. I was very apprehensive about the whole ordeal but I knew that you came into our lives for a reason and there was no way I would ever regret a thing. Here is a fairly quick recap on things we have gone through in the past 15 weeks.<br />
<br />
You were brought into this world on a day of celebration. Every year on July 26th, I go out for a passed friends birthday. This past year it was just me and your dad that made it out. And well, here you are :)<br />
<br />
I would say throughout the first trimester of carrying you, I was extremely sick and exhausted. We had or ups and downs too with you. In the 7th week, we thought we had lost you, and so did the doctor. I ended up having an emergency ultrasound and there you were, heart beating away at 126 beats per minute. Luckily, they didn't find anything wrong with you. About 4 weeks ago, we both got to see you and with a much stronger heart rate. It was funny, it was like you were waving to us the minute we could see you on the screen. Oh I couldn't stop laughing and I tried so hard not to cry. It was the day I fell in love with you and knew everything was going to be ok.<br />

As far as craving come to play, I honestly haven't had anything weird yet. I just get strong cravings for specifics and the minute I have them I tend to be satisfied, though at times, it craving goes on for about a week. I noticed that whenever I eat chocolate I feel this fantastic flutter. Everybody tells me that it couldn't possibly be you, but I really think it is. My doctor (your doctor) told me that at week 12 some women can feel their babies move, and I really feel that you were moving around.<br />
<br />
Cravings that have lasted..<br />
Apples<br />
Chocolate Donuts<br />
Tator Tots<br />
Eggs<br />
Cheese<br />
<br />
I am sure that there will be much more added to that list. I have gained 6 pounds so far, which, once you get to know me better, scares me. But I know that it will be well worth the "weight".<br />
<br />
I haven't experienced heartburn yet, but my oh my Migraines came back into my life. I have completely cut off caffeine, but its so hard! I still get headaches now and then, but I blame it on hormones and the fact that my breasts are huge and really putting a strain on my neck and back.<br />
<br />
Let's see, we have your name picked out and we can't wait to find out which one we get to use. Your dad thinks it will be Lucy but I have a feeling that it will be Liam. Either way your name will start with an L.<br />
<br />
You have a cat. She is realizing that you are in our lives and in my belly. She has really started to be overprotective of your mom and she takes it out on your dad. But no worries, she is going to love you, I promise!<br />
<br />
Alright. I am going to head out now, but we will see you soon enough.<br />
<br />

I feel bad because I haven't gotten one of those books that I can write in about how every week on how things are going and how the little tyke is doing. So, instead, since Austin and I blog anyways and I already have two other blogs, why not let everybody see how things are going.<br />
<br />
I will be making the first big post in a little while, I just don't have the time to do it right now :)<br />
<br />
See you soon!Lucia Phair...http://www.blogger.com/profile/01739904536545900868noreply@blogger.com0
