Changes...

Dear Elijah,

Last night I was totally breaking down knowing that I was going to have to part with your daddy at 5am. He goes into work so early, and it's hard for me to sleep when he leaves. So I end up usually staying up for a while, and then fight to go back to sleep later. So last night I was totally getting emotional knowing the week was beginning again, and that means less snuggling in the morning :( Plus on top of all that, I was a little worried about you because this weekend you were not as active as you usually are. It was kind of freaking me out since I seriously could not feel you moving around at the times I usually can. The weekend, although it was great spending time with your daddy, was also very stressful. I tried laying in different positions, and your daddy tried to talk to you and rub my belly. You finally moved a little when your dad was talking to you, which made me feel better. But to tell you the truth, you have been so mellow, and I miss my active little Eli! Hopefully it's just a phase. haha... I read something that made me feel a little better. Because you are growing so much right now, there is less room for you to throw harder kicks like you used to. Now your movement may be a bit less aggressive since you are running low on space! I feel you now, but it's not as much or as noticeable as it once was. 

Also, Mommy and Daddy had to move our doctors appointment from what would have been tomorrow the 18th of January, to two weeks later, the 3rd of Feb!Since we are moving and couldn't spend the money to fly down when we are going to be there in two weeks anyway! I know this was our only decision, but it still made me nervous. I like checking up on you so often, and hearing that are doing great! So now I have to go a whole month without an appointment, and it's driving me crazy. But under the circumstances, it's what we have to do. I am thankful that we were able to check up on you twice in December though. We took you to First Look Sonograms and were able to see your heart, brain, spine, kidneys, bones and cute little face :) they really did a great check up on you, and then after that, we went to our regular doctors appointment a week later. So we did get to see a lot of you last month :)

On another note, I still have an inny bellybutton! My bellybutton has yet to pop out, but I have to say, it's getting very close. Haha... We'll see how long mommy can hang on to that ;)Love you.

We Heart you Eli :)
