My baby,
Every morning before dad goes to work, he talks to you. This week, right after he finished talking to you, you started moving and kicking, I think you didn't want him to stop talking you. Probably because he tells you how beautiful you are going to be and how much he loves you... I don't blame you for not wanting him to stop, that's something everyone wants to hear! plus I know you love him very much already!

Reading through the books, I have learned that this week you almost weigh two pounds already and that you are blinking! I think that's soo exciting and totally God's work! We pray everyday that He continues to take care of you and we are certain He's doing so. Hard to believe as it is, God loves you more than we do.... I know, He loves you very, very, very, very much! And it's our prayer that you grow up to be faithful to him above anything else.

Alot of things happened this week; one of them, we put another registry of more things that we really think you are going to enjoy. We put it at Pottery Barn Kids and decided part of your room decoration is going to be little lambs, they are super cute! Cousin Jesse went and he was playing with all the toys in the store, I think he's going to be a good baby sitter.... at least he'll be entertained with your toys. 

 This week was also Christmas! and Oh my! was it a good one?!! We spend time with family and also friends and you my baby have gotten sooo many gifts that's it's incredible! I'm sure you are going to love everything you got, you are up to almost 20 pairs of shoes!!!! I'm overwhelmed to see how much we are loved and blessed by God, I cannot put in words how thankful we are to our Lord for so many, many huge blessings! 

Merry Christmas my baby, hope you enjoyed all the yummy food I had during the holidays and can't wait to have you with us during this time next year!!

I love you,

Mom

Eslie,This week we went to the Dr and thank the Lord everything is great. You are doing awesome, my weight gain, blood presure and everything looked good! It's a huge blessing to hear this, and know that once again God is in total control of you and your development. Next week I have to go for a glucose test that I have heard it's not that fun... chances are I will get sick! but you'll be fine..not to worry!:)

I'm starting to feel much bigger and I think I look much bigger too! Soon we are going to take the maternity pictures which I am very excited about. I want to keep every memory possible of this time. I wonder what you are going to think when you are big and take a look back at all these blogs and pictures. If there's something I hope you get out of it is the excitement that we have, how very blessed we feel to have you on the way and how much we already love you.. and we can't hold that back...Yes, we are making a big deal but who cares, you are the biggest blessing to mom and dad and it's worth making a big deal about!

Eslie,
This week daddy worked on your room, cousin Adriel helped him, so you better say thank you when you come out! :) They started to paint it, change the closet doors and and patch a few things here and there. When they were done, they had paint all over them. Daddy loves the color of the room and we are really excited about the other touches we are going to add. We are looking for accessories and cool things for the room. We don't want it to be boring for you but we want to keep it simple and not tooo "pink"but of course girly! It's absolutely exciting to be at this stage where we get to do this. I can't wait to put the crib together and add the final touches. We are still far from being finished but I am really happy we have started and are making progress.

During this week you also went to your second wedding...Steph and Danny's wedding (Roli and Mailin's was the very first one when you were only 9 weeks). It was beautiful and I don't know if you felt it but we danced...I'm sure you felt some unusual rocking! We are soo happy that Danny and Steph get to start this awesome journey as a married couple and we pray that God continues to bless them... I'm sure you are going to love them like we do!

Well baby Girl, you know we love you and I can't wait to meet you. It's closer than we think..I know you are excited to come out, I can imagine it's not too comfortable in there! Can't wait to hold you in my arms.

Love,
Mom

Dear Eslie:
This week we celebrated together our first Thanksgiving day! and I can't begin to tell you how very thankful we are for the miracle you are and the huge blessing in our lives. You bring joy to the whole family, and of course to daddy and I. We are soo excited to meet you and can't believe we'll get to do that in only 17 weeks! God has really blessed us with you, and words cannot express how much we love you. 

For thanksgiving we went to a house we rented near Orlando and had a great time over there. While over there we went to a few antique stores and couldn't help ourselves when we saw something for you. There were some good finds, that we think you are going to enjoy!
