Good morning my little baby bug! We have had quite a busy week and are very excited to announce that your nursery is coming together! The walls have been painted, all the things that we have for you have been put up there, and we've unpacked. Your dad took great pride in building your crib and getting it set up so that you have your very own space! He also changed out all the outlets and covers and light switches so that they look nice and new and updated! Mama spent the day taking out all of your clothes and hanging them up! I also got to go through all of the things that people have already given you and the things your dad and I have bought. We are so excited to see you wear and use each of these. As I pulled out each item, I took a second to just envision you using that item. I can't believe that it will only be about eight weeks and we will get to see you start using them! I am so incredibly excited for you little bug!
This coming week will also be super exciting!! Since I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and now have to take medication because diet alone and exercise weren't working, we have an ultrasound where we get to see you! I feel like it has absolutely been forever and I just can't wait to see pictures of you and get a glimpse at how big you have grown! We are also traveling to Minnesota this coming weekend for baby showers and people to celebrate you joining our family. You have been so wanted, prayed for, hope for, wish for, and all other emotions along those lines. Now our family and friends get to come together and celebrate the goodness that God has given!
According to the apps, your height has slowed down dramatically in increasing, so you are still hanging out at around 15 or 16 inches. Your weight continues to grow rapidly though! You are now somewhere between 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 pounds! They say that all of your organs and everything you would need on the outside are ready to go, except your lungs. They still need a little extra time to develop so don't have any thoughts of coming early! Your dad and I have been enjoying all the extra movements that you make on a day to day basis and I can tell you're getting pretty squished in there! Don't worry, soon enough we will be squishing you in love on the outside!
Well that's it for now little bug, we love you always!
Love,
Mommy
