22 Weeks!

I know that it is probably silly that I make these weekly post, but I didn't have a blog when I was pregnant with Lillian and wish that I had done a better job keeping little notes on my pregnancy with her. I am trying to do a better job remembering the little things about this pregnancy with Baby Hays. Shaun has really been feeling him or her bounce around these days. It took a long time with Lillian for Shaun to feel her the way he is feeling this little one. Also, I am much rounder this time around. When I was preggers with Lillian my stomach was long and not round at all. I remember being so jealous of Alli because she looked like she had just shoved a basketball up her shirt; it was too cute! But Baby Hays has done a good job rounding out my belly for me this time around.

Sweet Baby Hays,

Next week is your Daddy's and mine third wedding anniversary, and we will be finding out whether or not you are a little boy or a little girl. You are kicking me right now as I type this post...I love you so much already. It is amazing the love that God gives you for your child. You and Lillian are the best things that your Daddy and I have ever done, and I am forever grateful that He specifically created you to be our child. Our prayers for your little life are simple- we pray first and foremost that you find God's perfect salvation. We pray that you constantly and actively seek His will for your life, and that you grow to become a healthy and happy child. Oh, sweet baby how much you are loved...how grateful I am to be feeling you grow and bounce around all over the place. You are most active at night time right before I go to bed, which is completely opposite from your big sister . Lillian only moved in the mornings and sometimes when I was driving. She was not the mover and shaker that you obviously are. Keep on growing in there...soon I will be calling you by a name other than Baby Hays!

I love you more everyday!

Mommy
