THE BUNNEE BUMP: WEEK 23

Dear Bunnee,

We’vehad a lot of fun together this week from dancing at a BBQ party, to taking our first road trip to visit friends in Kentucky. I’m so grateful that you’ve been a big trooper so far and allowing mama to be herself.(for the most part, at least!) I think you’ve got mama’s sense of rhythm from the way you’ve been dancing around in my belly too! Let’s keep dancing together for a few more months until we get to meet each other, okay?

xoxo Mama

THE BUNNEE BUMP: WEEK 22

Dear Bunnee,

I just want to let you know that I’m really happy to have you on this journey with me.  Thank you for letting me keep you safe, to help you grow, and for making me smile.  It’s such a special honor to be your “home” right now, and I’m really enjoying every minute of it.  You gave me a big hello this week when you kicked hard enough where mama could feel you from outside my belly.  I wanted papa to be there with me so badly so he could feel you too, but I guess he’ll get his chance when you’re ready again.  We both love you so much and can’t wait to meet you!

xoxo Mama

CAKEBALLS, HORMONES, AND THE SOIREE

Every year Aya has a Valentine’s Day party that’s not on or near Valentine’s Day. Tons of women come over and fill the house with scents of perfume and fancy shampoo while they indulge in foods and talk about their feelings. What makes this year so special is that Aya decided she wanted to announce the pregnancy to her friends at the party. So not only were Aya’s emotions high, but so were her hormones, making the day-before party prepping very eventful.

THE BUNNEE BUMP: WEEK 21

Dear Bunnee,

You are making your presence known more and more each day, and are the length of a carrot now!  Every time mama eats a big meal, I don’t think you like how all the food crowds your space inside mama’s belly and you’ve been pushing it all up into my ribcage.  Occasionally, mama would push myself a little too hard and feel really tired afterwards.  You remind me that growing you is hard work, and we have to work together and pace ourselves.  We’vebeen a pretty good team so far.

xoxo Mama

THE BUNNEE BUMP: WEEK 20

Dear Bunnee,

Can you believe it?  We’re already half way through our journey until we get to meet each other!  We’veworked pretty well together so far and I’m so proud of how you’ve been doing such a good job growing inside mama.  Papa and I got to hear your strong heartbeat at our birth center appointment and also got to hear you kick.  A lot.  Our midwife said that you were “pretty active.”  You’ve already surprised me with some pretty good kicks too.  Mama’s been showing you off more and more these days, and I like to rub my belly a lot to say “hello” to you.  I love growing you inside me.  I hope you like it too.

xoxo Mama
