Shhh! The baby is sleeping!

Dear Kacie,

I had a couple over to sign a lease. They have a daughter they are potty training and she needed to use the restroom while here so she saw the crib set up in your room. A few minutes later her dad laughed at something and she said "Shhhh! The baby is sleeping!" He hadn't seen the crib and said "Uh, I don't think there is a baby!"

It was so cute that the little girl was so concerned! but it made me just so excited for when I actually do have a sleeping baby!! Although I hear it won't be for another year after you are born!

And yet, I'm still so excited!

So my cousin Danielle is getting married in a week and a half. I'm not really sure what she would be to you but we'll just call her Aunsin (aunt + cousin) Dano. Anyway, she's getting married and so my family is coming up to Utah for the wedding. They won't be here for long but I am going to get to drive home with them and spend a few days at your grandparents house! This will be the first time you get to meet your aunts and uncles and grandparents. I am pretty stoked about it!

Since I live in Utah, your Aunt Ang was sad that she wouldn't get to have a baby shower for me. But this works out perfectly because now I can share something special with them before you get here!

I went online to register for baby stuff at Target and let me tell you, I don't even know where to begin with what stuff I'm supposed to have to take care of you.

I decided bottles would be a safe bet that I'm going to need so I started with that. When the page came up, there were like 66 different kinds of bottles! AAHH! How in the world am I supposed to know what you'll need?

I tried registering for a diaper bag. Simple right?

Wrong.

There were like 58 different ones and the cute ones don't even have the necessities like bottle pockets on the side! Not that you will have bottles anyway since I don't even know how to pick one!

There were 73 different 'bouncers' and they all swear that they are the best. But half of them look the same to me and half look so high tech I don't know why a baby would need one.

I'm so excited to have a shower. Mostly because I haven't seen a lot of my friends for a long time and it'll be nice to sit and visit with the ones that can make it!

Except let's be honest; everyone will just come so that they can buy adorable baby clothes for you. No one really cares about seeing me!

Just kidding ;)

Dad got to feel you kick and move again last night. Its so much fun! I still just love to see him get all soft and giggly for you. He'll be mad at me for describing him with those words. It'll ruin his manly image. He'll get over it.

Oh, and my pants are starting to get tight! I still haven't decided if it's a good thing or not. I'm 22 weeks pregnant and I just look like I've been ditching out on the gym! I'm hoping you'll start to grow a little more so we can get past the 'chunky lazy girl' look.

Also, last week when I was having to answer the door to collect rent I had five different people say on three different days "I'm so sorry! Did I wake you up?" And I was like "No, it's 4:00 in the afternoon and I even showered today. These don't even look like pajamas!"

Then, Aunt Ang called one day and asked if she had woken me up.

My cousin Desiree asked me if she woke me up.

And today, your aunt Mallory called and asked if she woke me up!

Apparently, we should start calling me "Chunky, lazy, zombie girl!"

I will admit though that I have been more tired lately. Not like I don't get enough sleep but I get tired a lot faster now after doing things.

Anyway, I'm all over the place with this post so I guess I'll go now... Not that I really have anything else to do. Although I am working on making you a quilt!

We love you Kacie!

Love,

Mom and Dad
