Baby/Babies

The last few days I've been feeling excited to have a new baby in our home. It is weird having another child when you already have a couple. I remember with Lauren & Hallie it consumed most of my thoughts and all of my email updates I did...before the blogging began for me. This poor baby gets my thoughts around 11:30 when I lay in bed and feel her move like a crazy lady:) I'm sure it's made the pregnancy go by quicker, even though it still feels like I've been pregnant for a very long time. She is growing big and the doctor estimated her weight at my last appointment at 2.11. So tiny...and kind of depressing when you realize that all the weight you have gained is NOT the baby:) We got a 3-d profile of her and she looked much more like me than Lauren & Hallie, but who knows. I switched doctors at my last appointment so my appointments would be close to Ryan's work, and he could take the girls because the last few appointments with them there were HORRIBLE! I let my new doctor know I had a goal of having this baby before the 31st of Dec. so we don't miss out on the tax break and he seemed on board- that made me happy!
Last week was the week I went on bedrest with the twins (28 weeks) and it felt good to still be on the go and NOT laying on the couch all day. I really can't believe I ever had two babies inside of me, but it's amazing what a body can do. I actually don't feel that much smaller or "more comfortable" than I did with two- I think they were just really snuggled up inside! Anyway...these are all random thoughts but I am getting very excited to love a tiny little baby. This should be interesting to see how different it feels to just have one- I kind of already feel bad she doesn't have a little buddy. I've decided she & I can be buddies since Lauren & Hallie have eachother... And for now her name is Ella:)
