Miracle Moments

So part of the reason I am blogging this stuff is for a journal for myself to write it down so I don't forget these moments later. So if it seems repetive or boring for you blog followers, that is why.

Last night Summer and I had some really special fun times hanging out.! We were getting ready for bed so I was just lying there and Dave was in the shower. Night time is really when Summer is really active. But wow last night was the most fun. It was the first time I saw her move in my stomach before I felt it with my hand. She was doing these big ole movements where my whole belly would move. I was laughing out loud at her and talking to her. Asking her what she was up to in there. It was like an arm here a knee there and and big kicks in between. This continued non stop for about 20 minutes. Then Dave got out of the shower and was able to see part of her little show. SHe had calmed down a bit by then but he still got to see some big belly movements.
It was so crazy just to think that this little person playing and moving inside me, would soon be our daughter in this world and that this little baby growing inside me will someday grow to be an adult who will do great things to make this world a better place. Needless to say I got all emotional with love, amazement and pride for my little daughter..
Mom.... I am really hoping she will do some dancing for you tonight at your birthday party!

Love to you all...

So Dave has been out of town fishing with his dad for the past 5 days in Cabo. I am so happy he got to go as these types of fishing trips is what he really loves. Unfortunetly they had some boat trouble and didnt have the best luck fishing but he still had a great time. but Wow did I miss him. I am so happy he is coming home tonight.
I wanted to especially write about this special moment I had the other night. SO I was lying in bed on Friday night and had just gotten off the phone with Dave. I was feeling kinda lonely and missing him and then baby Summer started really bouncing around in there. It felt like she was doing aerobics. I was just lying there enjoying my time with baby Summer and I just kinda had this special moment where I felt like it was just me and my little girl. I really didnt feel so lonely because I felt like i had my little princess there with me. It just made me so excited to really meet her.

Well our life is definetly packed with lots going on these days. We are still waiting to hear about our house but did hear from our realtor today who said that it is looking good and we should know something in the next week or so. so that is exciting!
Work is going good. Dave and I decided that I will try to go back and work part time next year after all. just with the new house and stuff it would be helpful and the more i think about it, and the more i talk to other new moms, I think I will really enjoy working part time. THe position that I am requesting would be only 2 days a week from about 8-2 or so and it would be the same classes of PE I am teaching now which I love so i am actually pretty happy about this. I think it will be nice to get out of the house and do something different a couple times a week. I talked to my principal and he said it looks like that part time position should work out for me but I wont know for sure for maybe a few weeks. My sister Karyn wiil be watching baby Summer one day a week for sure and we have not decided for sure for the second day yet but I am also so thankful my little girl will get to be with my big sister!
I am feeling really great. The second semester of my pregnancy has been a lot of fun! I have felt pretty normal again and we have been able to feel Summer move around in there a lot. THe other night it was crazy. She was moving so much it felt like she was doing jumping jacks in there. Dave and I were just giggling at her....it was fun. I am starting to get quite a bit bigger. I feel like my belly is growing more and more everyday. I have also noticed that I am slowing down a bit.. meaning it is getting a little harder to get up off the couch and stuff :) and have started to have a few cravings.... nothing too much but in and our burger has definetly been a favorite of mine! which is funny since i couldn't eat any meat the first 4 months of my pregnancy, but I am thoughoughly enjoying my new found appetite.
Other then that we have been trying to spend a lot of time with Grammy. Dave's grammy got diagnosed with cancer so the family moved her down here from New Jersey to spend more time with her and help her through all this. She is living with Dave's dad down in Corona Del Mar. She is doing ok. It kinda seems like so far it is just day by day. Some days she feels pretty good and some days really weak and tired. But we are thankful to be able to spend as much time with her as possible.
Dave is going to Cabo on a big fishing trip with his dad for a few days this month They are going to have so much fun. I am going to miss him a lot but am glad he gets this special time with his dad and they both Love fishing...
Well I guess that is it for now. We will update you soon with hopefully good news about our new home! Lots of Love and Blessings!
