I was reminded that I was supposed to write a post about Emilee. She got very adamant and active about the situation. I was watching Hailey play tonight before bed. I wonder if Emilee knew that Hailey was playing and wanted to play as well. Hailey was a calm baby in my belly. I rarely felt her and it was unheard of to actually be able to just watch my belly move. Emilee is totally and completely different! I have watched from above as my belly has done the wave! I've noticed that most times when Hailey is awake and playing, so is Emilee.
So my thought. It has taken some time to bond with Hailey. No she didn't just pop out and we say, "Oh my gosh I just love you to death!" I'm sure there are some people that have had this experience. Joel was insistent upon finding out the gender this time, mostly in hopes of finding out it was a boy. But it wasn't to be. The interesting thing has been that because we know the gender and have picked a name, we can/have already started the love/bonding process with Emilee. She's not even here though?! Sure. That's true. So what's made the difference between her and Hailey? I think it's the fact that we don't have to say "it" but can actually say her name. A name is a powerful thing.
Emilee got hiccups that I could feel for the first time July 1st. I thought having hiccups myself was annoying... hers are even worse!
