21-24 Weeks

Wow, has this last month brought a lot of change to my ever growing belly! (Or should I say BODY?!?!) This little girl is an active one for the most part, which I love. :) It is so fun to feel the sweet kicks and rolls each day. Ella has even started to ask, "Where's Emmy?" when she wants to see my belly. When I show her she will immediately pucker her lips and lean in to give her sister a big kiss. SO. STINKIN'. CUTE!!! We talk about her being a big sister every day. She likes to read her book about being a big sister and then we talk about how she can help me when Emerson arrives. Of course she doesn't fully understand the concept, but we think it's good to talk about it! :)

Here is how Little E is growing...
She is now the size/length of a papaya...apparently the whole month.


"Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop."

I have definitely been in a nesting mood lately. We haven't done much though, except for discussing room situations, furniture, bedding, etc. This sweet little girl has also gotten a ton of precious clothes in addition to what we already had for Ella. It's nice having another girl, especially since they will be so close in age. We have all the "big stuff" already so that leaves mostly the fun things to buy! :) We are also very excited to get Ella's big girl room ready for her to move into too. That's another post for another day though!

(Sorry I don't have any fun pictures to post. I have been busy cleaning out closets and rooms! I will definitely have some fun pictures after this weekend of going to the fair and other outings though.)

I would love with helping you decorate Ella's new BIG GIRL room. Just call me if you need anything. Even if you need me to watch Ella while you decorate.
Wait...you don't need to be moving furniture OR smelling paint fumes!!! Maybe I should do that :)
