Time Passes

Dear Minnow,
           I feel guilty today little one. Lately I have really been enjoying being pregnant. As sore and huge as I feel at times I am just so grateful for every moment of it and although I sometimes burst into tears because I have run out of tank tops that fit over my belly and mother nature refuses to let it get cold so I can wear the cute autumn and winter hand me downs from Ruth, Adrianne and Melanie, despite that I still think my big round belly is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I'm happy minnow, and then I realized, exactly one year ago today I found out I was pregnant for the first time, I found out I was pregnant with you Brennan. Today is my mother's birthday and last year I went to the free clinic first thing in the morning after taking a positive at home test and had them run a test, I wanted to be extra certain I was pregnant that day so I could call and tell my mom. She was so happy she cried. I just keep telling myself that you want your daddy and I to be happy. Just because we are happy doesn't mean we have left you behind in any way, we carry you with us always baby girl, you'll always be our first and we will always love you! :-)  In other news, I am happy to tell you that all that carb loading paid off! After three icky hours of sitting in a strange waiting room, hunched over the chairs, trying not to barf hot pink glucose punch, I grateful to say that I am gestational diabetes free!! :-). I know having gestational diabetes isn't the end of the world but mommy has quite the sweet tooth lol. Your daddy has been on a mission the past few weeks to get your little sister the perfect crib. It has been quite a battle with our local Babies R' Us! First they told us we could order it and it would be in in 4 weeks, we were going to wait to order it (the thought of ordering it kind of scared me), then we went in and they told us again we could order it and it would be in in 4 weeks but that they were having a buy back sale and if we brought in an old baby item we would get 25% off the crib so we went home and came back the next day with an old swing so we could order it with 25% off. That's when their story changed, they told us the crib had been back ordered since mid August and we couldn't even order the crib and had to use the 25% off coupon that day! I was furious!! Your daddy on the other hand kept his cool and talked to the manager, darn bit of good that did, he signed the coupon and will let us use it when they can order the crib and told us to keep calling. So we've been calling for at least two weeks and although we could order it through another babies r us or through the crib website we can only use the coupon at our local babies r us that for some reason can't even order the darn crib when every one else can! Daddy finally convinced the manager to put an order through for us last week but the manager says the crib might not be here until after your sister arrives in December!! If we ordered through the crib website it would be here in 4 weeks but we wouldn't get 25% off and would have to pay an addition $150 for shipping! I seriously hate Babies R' Us right now. I just have this over whelming urge to get the nursery all set up and I can't without that darn crib. Sorry to bore you baby girl. I love you with all of my heart minnow. Please watch over your little sister and keep her safe for us.
                        Love always,
                         Mommy
