Tuesday

Well, your dad has done quite a bit of work at our house to prepare for you! At this point we've retreated to Lexington to Grandma and Grandpa Mayhew's house (with a short walk to the beach). The house was just too dusty and messy on Saturday after daddy, Grampy, and uncles Ryan and Jon got through knocking down a wall and taking out all of the plaster. And Daddy was hard at work again last night knocking down the wall in your room. Hopefully we'll be ready to start putting it all back together on July 6.

On Saturday night we also enjoyed the Port Huron fireworks...I hope the booming wasn't too loud for you, it was loud for mommy :) I've taken some pictures to share with you!

Today, mommy bought the new Rob Thomas cd...which I'm sure you're going to love, if not love then at least tolerate, because we'll be listening to it A LOT! I am hoping after my meeting tonight you and I can sit and watch the dvd I also purchased. Hopefully you'll get to hear RT live in a few months, if all goes as planned! And of course if the dr. says it's o.k.

And the registry process has begun baby...and let me tell you, I wish I could just be a millionaire and buy everything for you...it would be easier than trying to decide what I like the best so all of the other people that love you so much can buy things. Aunt Caitlin has already promised to buy you your cute little bedding that I have picked out. Hope you love looking at stars as much as mommy! Looks like this week while daddy is doing more demo work at the house I might take a trip to Target to speed up this process! And Aunt Emily has graciously taken "charge" of planning a baby shower for us...so all your Carter aunties will be helping with that :)

So tomorrow's a big day for us, we get to see you again. We have an ultrasound scheduled for 3:40 tomorrow afternoon. JoJean has promised us lots of pictures of your pretty little face. Daddy and I are both looking forward to this. And don't worry, I'll update all of your fans (which I would like you to know--you have quite a few!) as soon as I can! (probably Thursday) We're also going to find out if I have gestational diabetes. So say a prayer that we're clear on that front...and no, it's not too early for you to learn the power of prayer kid!

Get some rest for your big picture day tomorrow my little bell pepper. We can't wait to show you off! And maybe, just maybe if you dance around that screen enough we'll find out what you are on "accident" and then we'll discuss sharing that news with the world too!

I'll post pictures of the house so you can appreciate the cozy room you're going to be coming home to!

Love you bunches baby!

  1. Oh dear baby peanut shell... You may now be the size of a bell pepper but that doesn't mean we can change your name:) Peanut Shell seems to fit you very well. Yes I am going to be the happy purchaser of the adorable baby bedding your mommy picked out. It was too cute for me to pass up. So that is my gift to you I just hope your mommy teaches you to use it properly unlike your Aunt Caitlin:) Your mommy can tell you all about that later in your life! And your Aunt Emily is taking charge of the amazing baby shower we plan to throw for you and your mommy. Because as you'll learn through your life, that's what happens when you have 3 sisters! Things are never boring or dull and we do only the best for each other:) The 4 of us are a rare find in life and I think you'll enjoy growing up with each one of us. Even though I'm not close by, I'll be helping out as much as I can as I want it to be a very special day for your mommy and of course you too. I'll be making my second trip home since moving for the shower and am looking forward to it. I've been hearing all about the demo to the house so your parent's are ready for your arrival. I can't wait to see pics and get home to see it before you arrive! You'll be all the surprise I can take when I come home for your arrival I won't want to have to get used to all the changes to your house at the same time. Always remember how much your loved by each and every one of us. Especially your aunts. There is something about being an aunt that the 3 of us wouldn't trade for the world. You mean the world to us already and your still in your mommy's belly. But your mommy means a lot to us too. Keep growing strong and we can't wait to meet our little peanut shell and add to the Carter family. Because there's really no telling how long it will be before another one comes along!!! Just look at the difference between you and your cousin Dakota. All my love to you and your mommy. Just know I think about the 2 of you everyday. But when your old enough, your mommy can explain my crazy existence so far away and the part she played in it:) If you were going to be born to anyone, I'm glad it's your mommy. She's pretty smart and special and that means you'll grow up to be one of a kind as well. She'll teach you everything she knows and take it all with you and carry it through life. All the love my heart can send to Michigan.
