Sweet Stella,
Forgive me for the 2 week break in your baby book. I have been SICK. After a few days of antibiotics and benadryl I am finally feeling normal again.
You are rounding the corner of being 24 weeks old and I can't believe how fast time has flown. You are around 12.5 inches, 1.25 lbs, and the size of corn. I definitely think you are sweet corn. :) It's amazing that you only weigh a little over a pound because I swear I have packed on 10-12 now. I guess I don't completely have you to blame for that, it could be the twizzlers. I promise not to be one of those mothers that points to my stretch marks and tells you what you have done to my body. I will just make you learn to love exercising outside with me so we can outnumber your father who prefers the treadmill.
Because you are my daughter you already make the top of my prayer list, right after your father. Typically, I pray that you will be healthy and that I will crave things that you need. Lately, I have been praying for something that's a little different. I have been praying that your life will take a path that will lead you to a Godly man one day that will spiritually lead your family. I do this because I know that someone had to be doing this for me. I know it seems a little premature, but I just pray that you will one day have someone in your life that you can call your very best friend who loves God and you with his whole heart, just like your Daddy. Now, don't assume I want you to rush into dating. For your Dad's health, please wait until you think you are mature enough and then add 10 more years just to be sure. Your Dad will be the type to innocently remind every one of your dates the amount and type of guns that he owns. I will probably be the mediator to make sure he doesn't embarrass you too terribly.
We are getting so close to meeting you, our little love bug. We only have 16 more weeks and I'm certain they will fly. We have so much to be excited for in the coming months. We will have your baby shower, wedding festivities for your sweet Aunt Logan, SPRING, annual ski trip, and more! I know I say it every time but I can't wait. I guess I will have to learn to be patient and let you cook a little longer.
Love,
Momma
