Every little thing...

Dear Elijah,
You have been moving for a while now, and I have been able to feel you for months! It still seems though, that every time I feel you move, it's like the first time. You are so active, and I get so excited when you are moving around! I kind of miss you when your sleeping. You have your usual times that you say hello. Around 8am you are so active till about 10am, then sleep till about noonish which is when you kind of roll around and poke me a little, next is around 4pm when you kick around or have the hiccups!  Finally, you start to get REALLY active around 11:30pm! When I lay down to go to sleep, you decide that's when you have to do your aerobic work out for the day. The other night I woke up and my whole stomach was sore. I think it's because in the month of December you doubled in weight, and my muscles were stretching so much. I finally went back to sleep, but when I woke up the next morning, I have no idea what you were doing! You were pushing up against the top of my yummy so hard, to where I could see a little bump right there. It hurt! hahaha, so your daddy talked to you and rubbed that spot on my belly until you changed position. It was so funny!

Your daddy and I brought in the New Year of 2011, watching the ball drop on T.V. with grandma and grandpa Thornblad :) and it was nice and mellow. We had pizza and chocolate shakes! So perfect ;) We have been tired since most of our days here in California on this Holiday break, we have been searching San Pedro for apartments. Almost every day, all day, we are talking to landlords, filling out applications, getting all our information together, and trying to see friends and family in between! I think we have done very well so far. We leave tomorrow, and we are going to be turning in 4 applications to the places we liked the most. Then all there is to do is pray, pack, and MOVE! We have decided on February, and are trusting that God will help us along the way with the details. We already reserved a moving truck, and have what we think is an awesome plan ;) haha... We shall see how that goes ;) You and mommy have to be here in Cali sooner than we had thought originally, so we changed up our plans a little to make sure you are getting the proper care you need. Oh, and good news, I just got the results from the glucose testing, and we are fine! Mommy's blood sugar is great, and I am not diabetic :) I hated that test Eli. I had to drink a bottle of sugar syrup in the morning before eating anything, and then wait an hour for them to take my blood. I was so worried about you because I thought it couldn't be a good thing for you to have all that sugar! But you hung in there, and so did I with the help of your daddy.

Your sweet cousin Nic is gone for 3 MONTHS in New Mexico visiting his cousins and other family members out there. We are going to miss him so much! :( We got to see him and spend some time with him before he left. We are just praying that him and your Auntie Jessica will have a great time, and be safe. They will be back shortly after  you are born! yay!

I hope you like the plane ride tomorrow ;) we will be back in Seattle tomorrow night. I'm going to start researching baby stuff when I get back! I have to find out what moms like the best, and what stuff is a waste of money! haha... Also, what things are recommended and safe! I love you little Ly guy!!! Your daddy is on his way to pick me up for church. He is playing the drums this morning at both services :)
