My Lil Sweetpea

I got this in an email this morning and it completely delighted me:

"Baby's now the size of a sweet pea!
Growing like crazy, baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks, and chin. Those little hands and feet -- still webbed like paddles -- might wiggle by week's end, the heart is beating (almost twice as fast as yours!), and blood is starting to circulate."

I am heading to the doctor in a little while so that she can check up on you. This momma is nervous because of some of the things that my body is doing don't seem "normal" to me. But, what would I know about "normal" during pregnancy? Anyway, I'm fairly confident she'll tell me not to worry. Hopefully, she'll decide to find your heartbeat to put me at ease. But whatever happens, I just wanted you to know that I'm giddy with excitement at how fast you're growing!

Love you, Baby.

Nervous about you, Baby.

So, some things have been happening lately that have me just a lil bit worried. I'm trying very hard to take good care of you--I'm staying active, drinking lots of water, and getting more sleep--but I have a fear that somehow I'll lose you. BUT! I know that God has you in His hands, and I know that if He wants you to be with me, you will be.

This post is kinda pointless, other than letting you know that I'm doing my best to take care of you.

Love you, Baby.

Love You, Baby!

Hi, Baby. 

It has been exactly 36 hours since I got confirmation of you. (I had a pretty good hunch before that, though.) I am incredibly excited and impatient to meet you! And this is a weird feeling for me because I never imagined in a million years that I would bring a child into this world. But God has been planning this since way before you or I were ever twinkles in anybody's eye.

Since I am still fairly overwhelmed, I'm kind of speechless. I just wanted to make sure you knew that when I got the positive pregnancy test result, I was overcome with joy, shaking and crying and yelping! And I want you to know that you are already so loved that I can hardly stand it.

Love you, Baby.
