Best moment this week:
Getting professional photos taken with Maddie and my growing belly yesterday. This has been such a stressful couple of months but it's so important for me to take the time to mark the milestones. My growing belly and my beautiful almost 2 year old (your older sissy) amidst fall colors in a park. Just spending the day with Maddie was nice after a hectic weekend where we packed and moved Daddy to Chicago.
You are moving consistently and I don't feel the hiccups any more. Maddie had them all of the time but you are more of a wiggle worm. When I feel you move it reminds me of a doggy shaking after he's had a bath. The movements are quick and repetitive.
Food cravings:
Donut holes! I've even got Maddie started on my addiction to donut holes! We have a weekly donut date. This sunday I took her to Dunkin Donuts as soon as she woke up. I didn't even change her clothes. I changed her diaper and put a winter hat on her with her sleeper!

Symptoms:
Well, our house sold the first day on the market. Daddy has been in Chicago for three weeks and I have been working, taking care of Maddie and packing in my spare time. My feet get really sore and a little swollen at night, my temper is a little short at times but really for as big as I am getting and all that is going on in our lives I am grateful to have a healthy, beautiful daughter, a working husband and to be pregnant.

I really feel I was meant to have two girls. I get so excited when I refer to you and Maddie as "the girls". It feels so right.
Labor Signs:
Nothing

Belly Button in or out?
Still an innie.

Feeling toward Pregnancy:
I am still amazed at how my body grows and I love to put my hand on my belly to feel you move because feeling it from the inside isn't enough. I want to feel you move with my hands. The closest I can come to holding you at this point.

What I am looking forward to:
I can't wait to meet you. I wonder what you will look like all of the time. I'm still looking forward to agreeing on a name for you! Daddy and I can't agree on a name and it's killing me! I now love Harper and he likes Macy and Haley, O.K. he still likes Piper, too.
