Thanksgiving

I can't believe it is already the week of Thanksgiving. I don't usually do any posts leading up to Thanksgiving saying what we are thankful for, but little Amelia made me think I should do one or two this year.

Today I am thankful for a little baby that wakes me up in the middle of the night kicking me because I've rolled over on her. :)

To add a little to that, I don't ever remember Ava doing this to me. Audrey was a totally different baby (inside and out). Ava was as laid back inside as she was after she was born. However, Audrey would wake me up kicking me if I rolled too much onto my belly during the night. She would also kick me if I leaned into something or if she didn't like the waistband on my pants because they invaded her space.

Amelia is the same way. She kicks her sisters if they sit in my lap and squish her. She also lets me know that she doesn't like it when I sit in certain positions. I have a few pairs of pants that I feel like she would prefer if I threw them in the trash. :) She also wants me to sleep directly on my side. If I roll just a little bit forward, this cuts into her space and she is going to let me know about it.

I have to admit that I love waking up in the middle of the night because my baby is showing her personality before we even get to meet her. I can't wait to see if she is like one of her sisters or has her own personality all together. If we get two with Audrey's fiery red-headed personality, you will all need to pray for us. :) Of course, we love our little Audrey and her opinionated ways. She has the perfect personality for a middle child. She is definitely not going to get lost in the shuffle and we are thankful for that. :)

I'll try to post some more this week, but Happy Thanksgiving to everyone if I don't get around to it.
