Oh, baby!
We're sick. You're safe for right now in your little hidey-hole of Mommy's womb, but Mommy is sneezing, coughing, and having a sad time in general. Mommy gets sick pretty easily these days, and she is determined to keep you safe from medicines that would make you grow slowly or hurt you. No drugs for Mommy, not even Tylenol unless we get a fever, because that could hurt you too.
Daddy is being such a helper! He's been cleaning around the house and making tea to help Mommy's throat. You will love him so much, he's going to be the best Daddy ever for you.
We have your nursery filled with baby things for you, thanks to friends (Sunny and Kerry, thank you!) and the Lamb of God thrift shop. Your crib came from one of Sunny's clients, as did lots of diapers. Mommy found your little bench where one day you will sit in the shade outside and read. Since Ms. Stacy is staying in our guest room right now your nursery is FILLED with all of the extra things from when Mommy and Daddy moved into the house, but don't worry. We will get your space cleaned out and make it beautiful for you!
Noah's Ark is the theme of your room, which is a great beginning to tell you about how God keeps his promises. Plus, I get to put rainbows in your room and it doesn't matter if you're a girl or boy. We won't know your gender until a long time from now, when you're about 18 weeks old. We've still got 12 and a half weeks for that!
Don't worry, Mommy won't rush you. Take the time you need to grow. Mommy is drinking orange juice every morning to help your brain grow smart and healthy. Daddy is helping too- he makes yummy breakfasts with protein and fruit like breakfast quesadillas with strawberries on the side and blueberry pancakes. Mommy is eating right, making sure that only healthy foods make their way to you.
We will keep praying for you. We love you.
~Your Mommy
