Our little Lucie has been dancing up a storm! As she grows bigger and stronger everyday, her moves are starting to become bigger and stronger as well. My whole belly shakes when she wiggles around and I can see her arm or leg move across my belly when she makes a big turn.
James was feeling her move the other day and asked, "Is that you or her?" I replied, "It had better be her otherwise I think I might have a snake in my belly."
We are now officially in our third trimester- hooray! It's so hard to believe we're 3/4 done baking our baby. I am very fortunate that it has been such a smooth journey thus far. It has kind of lulled me into a false sense of security about labor and delivery. I have this [insane] notion that since everything has been so easy, labor will likely be a walk in the park. Current Mommies- pick yourselves up from the floor, stop your laughing and please continue to read :)
We have started to take our baby and birthing classes which is exciting and depressing at the same time. This means that pregnancy is quickly approaching an end and I really have enjoyed it to this point. James and I both find ourselves saying, "Wow, Lu will be here to do this with us next year!" and we even talked about making a list of "musts" to do before her arrival this summer and neither of us could think of anything [at least not that I can do while pregnant] that we couldn't make work when she arrives. It's exciting to think of her arrival but I also love our special time together feeling her move and shake in my belly.

Happy Mother's Day!
Today is Mother's Day! I'm not quite sure how I officially fit into this holiday as a mother-to-be, but I feel very special to be recognized.
As I wrote in the card for my mom this year, you truly cannot imagine how much your mom loves you and how much they have worried and sacrificed for you until you are (or are soon to be) a mom yourself. I feel so grateful to have so many amazing women in my life to lean on and learn from as I embark on this journey myself in a few short months.
For all of the fabulous, strong, loving and wonderful women in my life- thank you! You have made an impact on my life and will therefore also make a difference in Lucie's life. What a lucky girl! Love to all XOXOXO
