Hello little one!
It has been awhile since I have written. I am very excited about finding this crib on craigslist for you. It is beautiful and I feel so fortunate to have found it.  And...I am so excited to see you in it someday soon.  I have started purchasing the bedding for you too.  It is by Cocalo and called Snickerdoodle.


It is very neutral and has lot of nice textures.  I haven't bought the complete set yet but have started with the bumper, sheet and stuffed toy. Now to find some place to set it up.  Don't worry, by the time you get here we will have it all worked out.

Your mommies tummy continues to grow (which is a good thing), and your gramps is quite excited about your pending arrival. He never balked a bit about buying a crib and the other day when he saw your mama's tummy he rubbed it and said "I wish I had a watermelon" multiple times.  That is a excerpt from Little Rascals. We got a chuckle out of it.

You are just over 10 weeks old now and with each passing week our anticipation and excitement grows.

Your momma took this picture 2 days before you 8 week mark. It is so hard to believe that she is showing already.  It is very exciting to see new life growing inside of her.  Guess her body is so tiny that you growing inside is showing up really quickly.  I think it is really cute, and even though she is a little concerned about getting a pooch so quick, I think she is getting a kick out of it.  Speaking of getting a kick, I can't wait until you start fluttering and kicking in there.

I read today that you are the size of a red bean.  How can you do so much "damage" and be so very tiny.  Guess your house is growing to accomodate your constant growth.

I have managed to find quite a few maternity things for her to wear, but I think her biggest struggle is going to be the next few weeks before she feels like she can really justify wearing maternity stuff.

I am having a lot of fun looking at cribs and other essentials that are going to be needed to take care of you.  Yes, I am falling in love with you more each day and I can't wait to get your sugar and cuddle you and breath in every intoxicating baby smell of you.

We are a day away from you being 8 weeks.  With each passing day the excitement of you grows, and speaking of growing, you are doing a number on your moms tummy :)

Last night the St. Louis Cardinals mounted a comback from 6-0 to win game 5 agains the Washington Nationals and move onto play in the division series against the San Francisco Giants.  It was a nail-biting, nerve-racking game.  You are oblivious to it all.

This week we got to see a picture of you growing inside of your momma's belly.  Though you are just a little tiny being you are already loved very very much.  I have been busily acquiring maternity clothes for your momma.  Especially since this week an 11 year old noticed her growing tummy and made reference to the fact that maybe there are 2 in there.  Now she is very self-consciense and worried about just looking a little fat.  She does have a very cute little pooch, but would hardly call her fat.

Keep on growing strong and healthy little one.  Happy 8 week birthday.
xoxo

Yesterday marked the 6 week point.  Em is starting to feel a bit blah. Can't quite put her finger on it, just not right.  I do hope this isn't the start of a long period of being sick.  So far so good, but after watching Beth be so sick for most of her pregnancy, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.  I was very lucky that I was never sick at all. Tired and headaches, but never throwing up sick.

The days seem to be going by very slowly.  Looking forward to Em and Micah going to the doctor next week and with any luck, seeing/hearing the heartbeat.  But before that, they are going to tell Granny and Grandpa and the family on Wednesday at grandpa's 80th birthday.  Can't wait for people to know so we can talk about it.
