10 weeks

You went on your very first trip this past weekend - Chicago :) Daddy, Owen, and I tried lots of different foods but nothing sounds good to me -- don't you want to try new things? Ice cream, fruit, and cereal are the only things that sound appealing MOST of the time. Other days I stick to crackers and juice. I haven't felt sick in weeks - its just that food is just...gross. I am starting to show a tiny bit but right now its mostly bloat. I would really like to make it to the end of the school year (7 days) without anyone suspecting your presence :) I want to show up in August with a beautiful round baby bump!!!!!!

Speaking of seeing you - I will be seeing you in a few hours. I wasn't suppose to see you until Friday but I had some spotting yesterday and they said I could come in and make sure you are ok.

Please be okay. Please be healthy. Please jump around and wiggle and show me your beautiful beating heart. I want to hold you so badly. I want to love you and kiss you and make you a part of our family. You are just so little... You have so much growing to do.... Please show me your little arms and legs and model your perfection - and say LOOK MOM AND DAD - I'M GROWING IN HERE!!! I LOVE YOU! RELAX!

Really, please be ok.

love, MOM
