Our Precious Gabriel

Good Morning! What a wonderful day it is! Only 3 more months and we get to officially meet you in person! Wow! It is really going by fast! Your grandpa and I are going to paint our nursery in about 2 weeks. I hope you really love it.

Your nursery is getting there. Painting is done, door knobs up, chair railing done. Glider being bought in two weeks and nursery furninture coming soon. We want to have it all done by your mommies birthday, January 8th! That's when we are having a shower at your house for you! She wants everybody to see what a beautiful nursery you have!

Oh, Gabriel, I swell with such pride when I think of you. I can hardly wait to see you and hold you and cuddle!

What an awesome God we serve!

PS You have a great mom and dad!

Good Morning Sunshine!

Hey little buddy!  I have really enjoyed feeling you jump around and wiggle here lately!  I cannot believe your due date is only 115 days away! Can you believe that?  WOW!  Your dad and I are working on your room really hard!

I'm sorry you're not getting all the fun food you were...Mommy's headaches are causing her to get really sick...a lot!  So I hope that goes away soon so I can get back to all the yummy food!

Well I love you!  I can't believe I will be six months prego on Wednesday!  Only 3 1/2 more months to go!

Ok little buddy...

Okay little buddy....You are sitting on my left hip, lighting up my sciatica...and now you and I are dealing with migraines and swelling!  It's been a rough week especially and I feel like I look like the Nutty Professor (I'll let you see the movie one day, hehe).  Hopefully the medicine is going to help and we are going to start feeling better really soon!

I love you so much and I love feeling you wiggle around in my tummy!  We are so excited for you!  You know, I put a countdown up and it said 3 months and 31 days on Saturday...which means today it is 3 months and 28 days...can you believe it? You are getting close to coming into the world...wahooo!

Well I'm going to bed, you make me really sleepy and tired!

Love you!

Mommy

The room is coming together!

Hey little buddy! We are so excited about you!  I am feeling you kick and squirm all the time!  You are being sneaky when it comes to your dad though...trying to play hide and seek!  Today your dad and Grandpa Martin are putting the chair railing up in your room, it is going to look FANTASTIC!  I can't wait until we get the furniture and the new light in there...it is going to be absolutely beautiful! We are also putting up the light switch covers that are etched in winnie the pooh (they are so cute!)..Well I am laying on the couch because my feet have been swelling a lot and the doctor told me yesterday to rest all weekend.  You will know soon enough my little one that I am not good at doing nothing, but for you I will do anything!  We have 17 weeks and 4 days until your expected arrival...and it cannot come soon enough!

Love ya!

Mommy

Our sweet Gabriel:

The days are flying. Before you know it you will be here! We can hardly wait! Your mom and dad went on vacation for a week and bought you all sorts of beautiful things! You will be the best dressed kid around!

Your mom looks so cute! She (you) has grown! She and your dad just love you to pieces. Grandpa Pennington finished painting your nursery while they were gone and it looks wonderful! Can't wait to see the furniture and you in it. God has truly blessed this family.

Talk to you soon!
Grandmother Martin
