Daddy's Girl :)

If you have ever met Gracie's Daddy, you would know that she is already a "Daddy's Girl."  He talks and she just dances in my belly.  In fact, there have been times when I was worried because I hadn't felt her move in a while and he talked to her and she just started to wiggle away.

And trust me when I tell you that the adoration is mutual.  He cannot even bring up Gracie without tears flowing down his face.  He is simply in awe of this little girl growing in my belly.  I will catch him staring at my belly as if he is waiting for her to do something extraordinary!  Or I will hear him talking to someone about her and there is such love and pride in his voice.  It's truly such a sweet thing how much he already loves his little girl.

It is such a double love I have for this child because I love her Daddy so much and then I love her so much already.  But then you add how completely in love he is with her, who is growing inside of me, and it just makes it even more special.

And to top it all off, she is apparently his little Mini-Me.  At first I was a little disappointed.  I wanted her to look like me.  This is my first little girl, after all.  But I do already have one little Mini-Me in Matthew.  Now that I have gotten used to the fact that she is simply going to be all Daddy and all ABOUT Daddy, I'm kind of liking it.

Here are the latest ultrasound pictures of our little Gracie Ruth aka Daddy's Girl.  Isn't she beautiful?
