27 weeks!

Dear Kacie,

Is it June yet?

I hate it when I don't get to feel you move often. You were so stubborn for your aunts and uncles. They barely got to feel you move! But sometimes I think you just spin around and around inside there...

I miss dad all the time that we are apart. I hope that as our family grows and gets older that we can always have that love that is so powerful. I already love you so much and I can't imagine how it will feel to love you even more and I am so excited to find out what that feels like!

It's so humbling that our Father in Heaven can love us so much even with all of our flaws. As I think about everything your father and I will give up and have to do to have and take care of children it is a bit overwhelming. But I hope that I can always show you through my actions just how worth it you are. I know there will be struggles and hard time but I am so excited to experience them. I hope you always know that I love you with all my heart!

I remember when your Aunt Angela got married I felt like I was losing her and then I realized one day that I was just getting more family and that was a great blessing. I am so very excited that I can now add you to our  family and that we have the capacity and ability to love so many people, and love them so deeply.

I often think about how much I already love you and that helps me understand a little bit of how much our Heavenly Father loves me. I pray that I can teach you of that love so that you will never forget it!

You are 27 weeks old today...

I am so grateful for your dad. I think back on the past 6 months and I'm not sure how he survived! I've been throwing up, sleeping a ton, not cooking dinner, forgetting everything, having emotional break downs and been just plain tired. Your daddy has taken such great care of me and has been so patient with me.

I'm getting a little teary eyed just thinking of how amazing he is! I love him so, so much!

Well, my body is starting to get a little uncomfortable. I've heard people say that they love being pregnant... I think they are crazy! This is the hardest thing I've ever done! And I don't even think I've gotten to the hardest parts yet!

I read somewhere that was talking about all the things my body has, is and will go through and they said "You know what they say, '9 months in, 9 months out!'" Well, let me just tell you, no one told me that before I got pregnant and it's probably a good thing because I might have questioned the whole pregnancy thing. My body is tired.

But please don't let my complaining bother you. You just keep on growing and moving around nice and safe inside my belly for a few more months!

Maybe just take it a little easier on my bladder...

especially in the early mornings...

Love,
mom and dad
