YUM!!!!!!!

Grapefruit, watermelon, oranges...YUM!!!! What a healthy baby you will be :) The only things that sound appealing are sweet, cold, juicy fruits - a perfect craving for summer! You will grow in lots of sun and fun these next coming months, appleseed!

I told your aunts about you last night and they were SO excited! Your Aunt Amanda cried and is very excited to have her baby 2 months before your arrival is due! Aunt Melissa, Aunt Cindy, and Aunt Lindsay are happy to have another bizzo baby to hold (though Lindsay will have her own in July)!!!

SO many babies and SO much love!

Just 2 more weeks until I get to see you!!!

Love you!!!!!!!

Mommy

Your journey

Morning, Apple! (Though you are the size of a kidney bean!)

"New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his

eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells

are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby

as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, yo

ur baby is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.."

I think about you all of the time. Your journey, OUR journey has begun! I wonder what you will look like. What will your tiny little cry sound like?

I am so glad you chose me to be your Mom. I bet God has great plans for you!!!! Your Daddy and I will always love and support you - no matter what. I want you to find comfort in us because family is the most important thing in the whole wide world. And we have a GREAT one!

That's all for now - just wanted you to know we are thinking of you! Could you feel Daddy's kiss last night? He is so excited you are on the way!

love,

Mommy

WEEK 8!!!!

Apple of My Eye

I just want you to know that you are loved SO incredibly much. From the first time I took my pregnancy tests (I took 2) I have been thinking about you. We are excited for you to make our family whole. A family of 4! This blog will be filled with exciting stories from doctor's visits, your birth, and your adventures.

There have only been a few days that I have woken up sick. I have actually felt MORE sick at night which is strange! This pregnancy has been different from the one with your brother (I promise to do my best not to compare you two!). I have become bloated MUCH faster and I have 4 zits - I havent had one in years!!! What is the same? My overall disinterest in food. Nothing tastes good but I usually just eat it so I can provide you with nutrition. I am still breastfeeding your brother (I can't believe you are going to have a brother and that Owen is going to be a brother!!!) so I have been extra thirsty and extra tired. I think you two are going to keep your Daddy and me very very busy! By the way, your dad can't believe he's going to be a Daddy of 2 at 30 yrs old, when, at 28 yrs old, he didnt have any children!

I will see you for the first time on June 11th at 2:30. (Right now you are the size of an apple seed and your heart and organs are developing.) I can't wait to see your little heartbeat and know you are okay. I get to have you all mine for the next 9 months :)

I love you, apple seed.
