I love you, I love you, I love you!! Daddy and I saw you today for the 4th time. It was awesome!! Oh em gee... you are a lil mover and shaker for sure. In the past two weeks, you moved your little self 180 degrees, you grew to the size of a large peach and you learned how to suck your thumb! We got to watch you flip all around - at one point you were on your stomach, then your back, then your side - this is when you were sucking your thumb. You were kicking your lil baby legs. What a show you put on for us. It was wild! I think you like being on camera :)
On top of all that, you are growing like a champ, you are 4 days ahead of schedule so you measured 13 weeks... lucky 13! The doctor attributed this to good genes, which your Daddy is taking all the credit for because he says the good genes are the smart genes, which are all his, HA, and good nutrition. This was a surprise since I have not been eating very well lately. But I'm trying to get back on track and no better reason than for you, Baby. I have to tell you tho, you have a really big head. This worries me. I really hope it stops growing so the rest of you can catch up. I don't want you looking like that Giada cooking lady on TV... well, if you're a girl at least. I can't think of a guy with a big head... oh, ha ha, yes I can, Andy Applehead from my Shorehaven days. LOL. Oh, I hope Marni or Karen reads this someday, they'll get a good laugh.
I'm glad I can laugh again. I feel like for the last few days, I've been holding my breath. Once again I was worried about nothing. Right before we left for Hawaii, I started feeling a bit better and then in Hawaii, I felt almost back to my ole self. So of course, I thought something was wrong. I must have associated being sick with being pregnant and feeling good with not feeling pregnant. But it just seems like you were enjoying your short jaunt to Hawaii - the flying, the 4x4ing, the snorkeling, even the stench of volcanic sulfur dioxide. We'll have to do it again when you are here with us in person, as opposed to in tummy, and can actually get to see all of its beauty. Next hot spot for you is Tahoe. I hope you enjoy another long car ride, gambling, gondola riding and scenic views. It's nice that we're all going to experience Tahoe together for the first time, even tho, well, you're not really experiencing much, but that's ok, my experiences must be having a good effect on you, my lil overachiever.
Speaking of overachieving, I'm glad we went to the doctor's today because since you are growing so fast, we almost missed taking our prenatal screening test. We are taking a test tomorrow morning that assesses your risk for any abnormalities. I'm trying not to think about it too much, it is what it is so all I can do is pray a little that everything turns out ok. I can't imagine you being anything less than perfect so I will just keep thinking this happy thought. It's kinda exciting that I get to see you again tomorrow, Daddy may come to see you too, but nerve wracking. I'm just going to try and get a good nights sleep, not think about it and stay positive. Easier to say than to do but I'm going to try... real hard.
I hope everything turns out ok. No matter what, I love you, Baby!
Will post pics of me and you very very soon. Sorry for being a slacker Mom.
XOXO
Mommy
