Good morning my sweet baby bug!
It is funny to think that you are my little baby, when you have done so much growing and developing over the last couple of months. From where you started to now, you have become quite large! A fun fact we learned in our birthing class this week, if you had continued to grow like you did in the first couple of months, you would weigh a literal ton when you were born! To you think of how much has taken place in your short little life so far is absolutely amazing. You went from a one cell egg combine to another cell, and expanded rapidly from there. You develop cells that became your brain, heart, blood, and everything else in your body. You have grown arms and legs and toes and even a sweet little button nose. We have gotten to watch you grow from a tiny little circle on the ultrasound to a full baby moving around in my belly. It has been absolutely amazing to watch your development and read about it each week. God has designed you perfectly and thought of every little detail about who you are. He already knows your name, even if we aren't sure of it yet. He loves every little thing about you and has placed everything in just the place it's meant to be. Always remember, for God so loved the world, which includes you, that he sent his son so we have nothing to worry about. Your mama could take some advice from herself on that one. I hope that I can teach you to rely on God even when you're anxious and worried. It doesn't always take the worry away, but it sure is an amazing feeling to know that God has a plan for you.
Your dad has decided to start writing letters to you too. I can't wait for you to be able to read all these letters that we have written to you and I hope that you realize that you are loved and thought of every single day. Not a day goes by in our week where we don't talk about you or something you're doing right now or hope or dream we have for you. Every single day, your dad asks how you are and makes sure that you're OK. He is so excited to be your dad and I know that I gushed about how much I love you in these letters, but in this letter, I just want you to know how much your dad loves you.
We had a fun weekend this last weekend. Your grandma, Uncle, and Aunt came out and helped us move all of our furniture around the house getting ready for you. Your room has been completely cleaned out and now we just need to go buy your furniture. It's a good thing your dad and I have already decided on what we want, because as you know, we are not that great with decisions! The biggest one we have left is what color to paint your walls! I want you to love your room, and I know you probably won't have an opinion of it for a while, but I wanted to be perfect. It has a special place for a special little man!
According to the apps this week you have not grown too much in length, still around 11 or 12 inches long, but you are gaining weight! You are up over a pound now and it says in the coming weeks you were going to rapidly gain more weight. Right now you have a bunch of extra skin kind of just hanging around, but as you start gaining weight and fat in your body, it says that you are plump out! So I guess your job for the next couple of weeks is just to gain baby gain! It also says that all of your senses are becoming more sophisticated. Your eyes are able to better detect light, your ears are able to better hear things inside my belly and out, and your taste buds are able to start tasting differences based on the food I eat. So cool to think of all of your little senses coming online.
That's it for this week bug! Mommy and daddy love you and we are looking forward to meeting you!
Love,
Mommy
