24 Weeks and Growing


As of September 6th, I am 24 weeks pregnant, and as you can see I am growing growing growing! Cassie's getting so much bigger, and shes kicking like crazy! Actually right now shes sleeping (thank goodness). Its adorable because I can lay a certain way and feel her move like shes trying to get comfy with mommy. :)

Graham and I have.. well we've had our ups and downs. We fight over the littlest things, and I think a huge part of the reason is because we're so far away from each other, and distance is taking its toll. But then another good chunk of it is because I let my freak outs (Thank you hormones >.>) get in the way and take over when they shouldn't. So I have to work on that. But the good news, is that hes coming in October and I get to spend a week with him. :) He lost a bet between us, so now he owes me an Olive Garden date night! :D Endless salad and bread sticks for a pregnant woman? HELL YEAH!! lol I'm really looking forward to it. I can't wait to just be in his arms again! As of right now, we've been apart for 16 weeks. x.x Thats 112 days! Actually, thats since friday, so today it would be 114 days. It totally and completely sucks! I'm so ready for it to be over, and have the love of my life at my side again. <3 The good part, is that hes going to be here a week before I'm due, which means I get him for Christmas. :) Merry Christmas to me!

My friend Judi just had her baby girl, Rayne Cynthia Storey yesterday at 12:31am. Shes so adorable!! I went to see them yesterday, and ohh my goodness! I can't wait to be holding my OWN little girl! Robbie (the daddy) had to help Judi in the bathroom, so he handed her to me while she was crying and went with Judi. Well not even a full minute in my arms, and little Rayne stopped crying and fell asleep. ^_^ It was absolutely precious. <3 They took their time in the bathroom while I rocked her in my arms a little (I was sitting, and with my pregnant belly I couldn't really do much movement xD), touched her soft little face and just watched her sleep. Robbie opened the door to make sure I was okay and I just laughed at him and said to take his time. When they finally came out he was like "You're great with her!" And then later he was saying how I was holding her, how great I was, and that it was like she was my own. ^_^ It made me smile, thinking to myself, "Maybe I really CAN do this".

So I'm really looking forward to meeting our beautiful little girl now more than ever. :) Just thought I would update!

Lots of Love,
Laura
