26 Weeks ~ A Mighty Man

Dear Son,

You have gained strength in the last week.  There is no denying you movement in my belly - karate chopping, high kicks, butt bumps, and roll overs.  You have become extremely active!  Your daddy has officially seen your movement and recently felt your movement...you made him smile one of his handsome glowing smiles.  You know when to rest though and I am thankful.  You are just like your dad, settling down around 8:30 PM and up and at 'em around 5:30 AM.  It looks like I will have two morning people in this growing family. 

We are in process of planning your own space - your very own room.  Designed and set aside for you.  I hope you like your room!

Oh and I also have discovered your dislikes - spicy food and peanut butter.  That excludes Mexican food for me personally, which is a bummer, and I have to admit that I dumbfounded why you do not like peanut butter.  Apples and peanut butter is a dynamite snack.  Oh well!

Keep growing strong Baby C. - perfect as you are and gaining strength as required.  I love you very much Son!!

Love,
Mommy and your glowing Daddy

   

24 Weeks ~ Growing!

Dear Son,

You must be going through a growing spurt because I cannot believe the amount of food I just ate, yet I feel satisfied and could still enjoy a sweet dessert.  Is this an indication of what's to come and the mass amount of food you will consume later in life?  I do know for sure that you are a growing Boy and I am thankful for that continued growth and development.  

I continue to pray for your continued strength and health as you grow in my belly!  

Love,
Mommy

  

23 Weeks - Mission Accomplished

Dear Baby C.,

I had this odd desire to participate / jog a 5K race while I was pregnant...well WE did it!  On Saturday, March 30 2013 we jogged 3.2 miles, the entire distance...no break, no walking - just a steady jog to the finish line.  I was thrilled!  Your daddy was at that finish line clapping and cheering us on, he is such a tremendously thoughtful man.  So Little One at 22 weeks you have accomplished a 5K - well done, participant #167!!

You are the best!  Please keep growing strong and know that we are preparing for your arrival in so many ways!  

Much Love,
Mommy
