Gabriel's on the move!

We finally got our registry updated and working. You can now find it under my name on the Target website.

I can finally feel Gabriel move. I've been feeling it for a little while, but I wasn't sure if it was Gabriel or my stomach gurggling. I've been feeling it so often lately though, and it is something I have never felt before, that I know it his to be him. It feels like a little flutter, as he is still not too big. I am only 4 1/2 months pregnant, so he is still a little guy. It is so exciting, though!

Sean and I go in on Wednesday for another ultrasound. We get to look at Gabe longer this time because the doc is going to check out his brain and other major organs. How cool is that? I'm excited to look at him again! I love seeing him!

Sean and I have been reading to Gabriel every night. We especially like to read Dr. Seuss books, Fox in Socks in particular. It is a tongue-twister book, and we can't help but crack up every time that we read it. We're reading to Gabe every night, and I am going to make it a point to read to him for an hour every day after he is born. We know how important reading to young children is. I can't wait to start writing stories with him, but I don't want him to grow up too quickly, of course.

Sean did an amazing job on the nursery, didn't he? Gabriel is lucky to have such a great daddy. Sean is going to be the best father in the world. He is already so in love with his son. He gets this big grin and his whole face lights up whenever he talks about Gabe. He's read several books about being a daddy, and he takes great care of me, making sure I take my prenatal, drink enough water, etc. He is also a wonderful provider, and he decided that he wants the best care for Gabe and wants me to stay at home with him. He is already putting his son first.

My mom is throwing me a shower on December 27th, and I am so excited for that. My mom and dad have done so much for our family. We wouldn't have been able to get married and move to TX without them. They threw us the most beautiful wedding and spent a lot of time and money getting us down here. I can't thank them enough. Now they are providing for Gabriel. They have gotten him so many things already, and this takes such a big financial burden off us. I know they have so many other places that they could be spending their money, but they are so selfless in their giving. Gabriel isn't even born yet, and they are already the most amazing grandparents. Of course, I knew they would be. They were/are the most amazing parents. We can't thank them enough for everything they do for us, including buying me my plane ticket so I can actually come home over Christmas! :)

We started obedience school with the puppies. They are kind of slow, but they are trying, and we are working with them.

I'll write more after our visit on Wednesday. Love you guys!
