Chocolate, Movies, and Candy Land.

What a good day!

Finally, a day to rest and lay around. Even though there hasnt been much accomplished today, it has been a busy day to say the least. Starting at 9am, I went to Josh's mom's house to visit with her and Sumerlin (my niece). You have never seen bursts of endless energy and fun until you spend the day with a 5 year old. But she is growing so fast! Her heart is so big and she shows so much pure and innocent love... I know I love her like my own. We are getting ready to go make chocolate chip cookies.... it's crazy how we forget the small things that used to make us so excited when we were small... I feel like a child again!!

I'm still feeling very good... I have no complaints and the baby seems to continue to grow strong and fast. Each couple of days I try to read books, articles, and magazines to keep me up-to-date on how my little one is progressing. They are all telling me that at this time (9weeks), the baby is an inch long AT LEAST and the arms are now long enough that the baby can touch its own face. I can't help but smile thinking about all of that... It also looks more like a real person now instead of a little foriegn creature ( I know that puts Josh at ease). I feel like baby must be extra-happy today, it got a special treat when Sumerlin and I sat down and had chocolate icecream. She is already telling me how she is going to help feed it and give it a bath, and then when the baby gets older, she is going to teach it how to play... She is going to be such a good "sister"- as she calls herself. Can't wait to find out!!!
