Memories

Baby Mamma here. I spent last night and today rereading my baby book. It was quite a trip down memory lane... My wonderful mother spent many hours it seems writing in my little yellow book to document my life as an infant. I love reading about my adventures and mishaps during childhood. It is funny to see that some things never change... I am 29 years old and still don't enjoy the same foods and drinks that I shunned as a baby. I am amazed at the love that is shown in the little memory book- thanks Mom for making it for me and keeping it going even after all my siblings were born. I don't know where you found the time to do it all- you are a SuperMom! Taylor, I pray that I can be as wonderful a mother to you as my Mom was and still is to me. You are truly loved little one. I can't wait to meet you. I purchased your baby book and have already started jotting down little things here and there. I plan to fill it up from cover to cover as you grow! Baby Daddy and I attended our nephew's kindergarten graduation ceremony today and I was struck by the thought that it wouldn't be long until it was Taylor's turn to graduate from kindergarten. How the time does fly... it seems like yesterday that I first found out that I was carrying our little blessing. I am hoping the rest of the time goes as quickly as the first half has!

And I'm the One Who Wants to Be With You!!

Hello all, Baby Mamma here again to give an update. Taylor attended her first concert on Oct. 18th. Baby Daddy and I went to the Mr. Big Reunion Tour concert this past Sunday night. The concert was held outside at a park in Singapore. It was VERY loud! I alternated between standing and sitting down during the concert but did very well in the heat! I think Taylor is going to come out singing Mr. Big songs if her Daddy has anything to say about it! He was so very excited that this band got to be her first concert. I know at this stage of pregnancy that she can hear sounds... she heard lots and lots of sound at this rock 'n' roll concert! It was so loud my stomach was vibrating! Her Daddy and his friends enjoyed themselves during the performance. I do believe that each of them took turns touching my stomach to feel the vibrations! Her Daddy sang several of the songs to her as the band played them- it was very touching and of course I cried a bit. Go figure, right?! All in all it was a good night. I do hope this darling of mine will love music as much as her Daddy and I do. I sing to her often and read books to her. I haven't felt her move yet but know that she does from the ultrasounds.

Half way there!

Hello all, this is Baby Mamma posting today. Baby Daddy was unable to go to the last doc visit with me so I get to post this lovely news! We are having a baby girl in late March. Taylor Marie Lee is very active on the ultrasound screen. I don't believe I have ever seen her be still during one of our "viewings." She is 4" long right now and everything looks good. I am still losing weight but she is thriving so the doc isn't worried. My BP is being controlled by meds 3X a day along with exercise. (Baby Daddy doesn't think it counts if we are walking in a shopping mall, but my heart rate still goes up and I am exhausted after a couple of hours!) I can't explain the wonder of watching my baby girl grow and seeing her each and every month. She is a blessing from God. I am thankful for the time God grants us to watch over her. Ok, before I start to cry here is some other news... the doc wanted me to start taking fish oil capsules to raise Taylor's IQ by 7 points. I am all for things that will help my daughter's growth and development but I am not ok with throwing up in the morning because I have taken fish oil at night. I emailed my awesome doc and she said I can take the "gummy" version that my niece and nephew take. YAY for gummies! I am doing much better with morning sickness and the like. I am definitely changing and getting rounder but feel very good most of the time. My dreams are still a plaguing me each time I sleep so I am not wanting to fall asleep. After talking with many friends and family members I have learned that this is quite common during pregnancy and should go away soon after labor. I am halfway to the finish line coming in at 4 1/2 months :) The time has flown by. I cannot wait to meet this little one and hold her! Baby Daddy will post the pics from the doc soon.

Dre-E-Eam-Eammmm Dream, Dream, Dream.

Baby Mama has been having bad dreams lately. I think it is related to her anxiety over some many uncertainties.
