Lucy is doing well as far as we can tell. She is kicking around and let's me know if my pants are too tight or if I'm sitting in a position she doesn't quite like. She also let's me know if my bladder is encroaching on her space, as she will stomp on it until I make more room for her. Sorry if that is too much information. They say that every pregnancy and every child is different and I am definitely sensing that she is a girl who knows what she wants. Luke was more laid back I think, like his dad. Lucy may give me a run for my money, and I honestly can't wait. She weighs just over 2 pounds this week, and is almost 15 inches long according to my pregnancy books. She is as snug as a bug in a rug right now too, braving all of this snow and cold weather warm inside my stomach. I love how she will be born around the same time spring starts sprouting up around here. It will be springtime for Will and I in more ways than one on the day our Lucy is born.
As I watched our new president sworn into office today, I couldn't help but think that as bleak as our world is right now, I have hope in a nation that welcomed their first African American leader as the 44th President of the United States. Lucy will definitely be arriving to an interesting world this 2009, and I hope that equality and the pursuit of happiness for every human being - no matter the age, gender or race will be something very real in her life time.

I saw your comment on Stacy's blog asking about suggestions for Luke's Feb. 19th remembrance.
I hope I am not being too presumptuous, but I wanted to suggest maybe planting a tree for him. I know how boys love to climb trees, build treehouses, etc...It would be a symbol of his life that would keep growing every year. You could even decorate it with ornaments if you wish. It would be something that could easily be a tradition for each following year. Just my thoughts. I hope that all goes well with little Lucy and that you find much joy and happiness in 2009.
