Hey!

Hey Doodlebug! How are you doing? Everytime I look at your first sono pic, I see you just sitting there with your little arms and legs. Just sitting there, growing, and waiting. I wonder what goes through your mind while you are there in your own little warm world. I know you like to suck on your thumb and fingers. I know that you are getting very good at tumbling and rolling around. I know you are drinking. I wonder if you find it fun to tumble and play? Your mama says you can be pretty feisty...well, you come by that naturally! It seems like you really like sweets. I wonder if you give any thought to what you are going to do, or what you think about when you wake up? I know you don't really think about all of us yet who are getting ready for you, but I wonder if you think about you mama when you hear her voice? So much of your personality is already there in you and we are pretty excited to get to know it. I close my eyes and dream of your face and wonder if you will really look like what I think you will? It will be the longest drive of my life to get to come see you! You have received so many beautiful things to help prepare for your arrival, and all kinds of things to make raising you a charm! You are getting ready to move, though for you the environment won't change all that much. You parents are painting your room and getting all the furniture ready for their sweet little doodlebug! I hope you have fun tumbling and twirling and sucking your thumb. Can't wait to see you!  All my love, Mimsi

Dear Doodlebug, I have a new nickname for you, can you figure out what it is;) Wow, what a big weekend for you! You received so many beautiful things this weekend. At a fun party on Saturday, your aunts honored your mommmy & daddy with a fun shower and you received a very helpful bouncer, a wonderful play mat, and so many helpful clothes, health items, safety devices, beautiful clothes, hair accessories and even a crocheted afghan that someone made for you. Then on Sunday your mommie's church family honored you all with a wonderful shower. You received so many beautiful clothes & hair adornments, you will be the best dressed baby in all of Oklahoma:) You got shoes and bathtubs, towels, robes, wash cloths, quilts, pillows, books, toys, KSU stuff, dresses, jeans, shirts, sleepers, cardigans, layette gowns and a ton of other things.  After the shower someone stopped by the house with a small bag. When your mommy opened it, it was another beautiful afghan that this dear friend had made for you, in all pastel colors, which you will come to realize are your mommie's very favorite colors. You must be excited about it all, because you leaped around and kicked! Maybe you could sense everyone's excitement thinking about your arrival:) Both of your grandma's were there and both of your aunts were there. When you are older, you will get to see all the pictures. Our entire family feels very blessed by the kindness of family and friends. Only 9 and 1/2 more weeks till we get to see you!  All my love, Mimsi
