Then in October we took a trip to Florida. We visited my grandparents and met up with Dave's family for Disney. We think she was conceived during this trip. It was around my birthday that I thought maybe. I told Dave a few days later and took a test. He didn't trust it, so I took another. We told his family on his birthday. We told my family on Thanksgiving (pictured below with Momo and the sonogram taken the day before Thanksgiving).
The pregnancy went well, and I didn't have much symptoms or problems. I worked up to the day I gave birth. That day was the first day I felt any "preliminary" pains. It was a Thursday night she was born. We were in the hospital a few days with "Baby Girl" before we picked her name. Now we have a sweet precious angel named Julia Grace. Here's her announcement:
Julia is five weeks old now and is growing too fast for her mom to accept. I want to see her grow and become a beautiful thriving young lady, but I also want to enjoy her as a precious baby now! She loves her sleep and likes flat surfaces. She is not a fan of the carrier (unlike every other baby we've heard about). She can stand her swing for a little while, but is not fond of the bouncy chair. Her vision is, I think, above average. She loves lights and sunny windows. She is a happy baby with a bit of spunk, even at her young age.
So, back to the story, we built a house and started a family at the same time. Although we were supposed to have the house completed before the birth, we had a few construction problems (one included a roof leak) so we did not have the house finished on schedule. To top it off, Julia arrived two weeks early, so we moved into the new house a week after she was born.
