23 Weeks!!!

Margaret,

Wow...23 weeks, and Mommy has loved been nervous through them all!  I can really tell that you are growing in there.  It is getting harder to "hide" you, not that I want to for one minute, it's just that I could before.  I know that you are moving, and I am starting to let myself believe that all of the little flutters really are you!  Daddy and I like to try to "track" you by feeling the hardness of my belly...we can tell that you move around.  It is amazing how hard my abdomen gets...last month I asked Dr. Cortez if that's what having abs felt like.  haha!
We had our yard sale today, and it was successful enough for us to feel validated.  We sold all of the stuff we needed to sell and put the rest in the attic.  Now we can finally start on Margaret-Ville!  Yay!  Daddy says we can put your crib together tomorrow...hopefully it goes well!  We are going to use our profits to buy a chair for your nursery...I have already been thinking about rocking you in it!  How sweet it will be to have you in our arms!
Oh, just to let you know, we are leading the contest at Dr. Cortez's office...hopefully it will stay that way!  We are already so proud of you!

Keep getting stronger, Daddy wants to feel you too,
Mommy
