Don't Take It for Pomegranate

Pomegranate is getting quite kicky and thumpy in there this week.  I have taken up singing to her on the ride home from work every day, and today she thumped along quite a bit.  Every single time, it puts a huge smile on my face. 

Does anyone else feel like these fruits and veggies are a little off?  I mean, I thought a cantaloupe would be bigger than a pomegranate.  But I actually really, really like calling her Pomegranate.  Something very nice about it.  Maybe we'll put it on the prospective names list.  Just kidding!

I missed the best window of opportunity to post about the Valentine's Day presents that Pomegranate received, but I'll make up for it now.  A couple of weeks ago, my mom (Granna) came through town and brought Pomegranate her first Valentine's Day outfit and her first pjs.  I love them both, particularly the elephants on the pjs since Pomegranate's room is kinda elephant-oriented.

Seth's mom (Grammy) and sisters sent Pomegranate a sweet ballerina-style dress, a pack of onesies (with elephants!), some socks, and bibs.  I can just see our Pomegranate in that pink dress, and I can't wait!

It continues to amaze me, the generosity of our families, and it also drives home the idea that we really are having a baby, a little girl. 

I'm excited to see her again next week at our follow up ultrasound so they can check out her spine, and I can hardly believe the 3rd trimester is less than 4 weeks away.  The first trimester was excruciatingly slow, because we hadn't told anyone and I was so nervous the whole time that something would go wrong.  Since then, this has been a breeze!  Hopefully the 3rd trimester will be kind to me.
