Big Cantaloupe!

You now weigh about 4 3/4 pounds, like a cantaloupe & are almost 18 inches long. I still don't believe how big you are getting! They say your skin is also smoother than ever, I wish I could be touch it! I am really going to miss you moving around in my belly, but the trade off of having you in my arms is well worth it!

We attended our 2nd Birthing class & this week we actually watched a birthing video. I have to say that made me a little anxious for your actual birth. I am SO excited to meet & hold you but the actual birth is a little scary. I just don't really know what to expect since every birth is unique. I have had a text book pregnancy so far I just hope that my labor experience is normal as well. At the class they have us practice our breathing techniques & your dad finds that time really funny. He is so great at making me laugh I can't wait to see the two of you laugh together.

My great friends Alissa & Tracy threw me the most AMAZING baby shower this weekend. It was everything I had envisioned & hoped for. Alissa is so creative & Tracy is like Martha Stewart so every detail was covered. It was so special to have all of my friends there to celebrate you! We spent some time praying over our new family & you little Hallee. This was so wonderful to pray for your ministry, love of Jesus, birth, self image & even your future husband (that is MANY years from now!) You are loved more then you know already. We got so many wonderful gifts for your arrival. May of the gifts were handmade with is so special. You got an adorable handmade tutu, burp cloths, book ends, shoes & beautiful blankets! I thank God daily for the wonderful friends we have!

Love you so much sweetie!
Your mother
