Note to the 14 week Bump


Oh, hi little Babe.
Happy (almost) 14 weeks to ya!
Last night, your Daddy and I went outside to try and get some pictures of you and I. You know, creative ones that look pretty and such... but, alas, it turns out that your Mama is just as completely and thoroughly awkward as we always knew she was. It's okay though, because we got these two shots, which aren't too shabby at all.

I'm laying in your room right now, and it's so strange that in just a few months, this room will actually start looking like your room... like you belong in here.

You already belong with us. You belong in our family, and we love you so.

We got to hear your heartbeat a few weeks ago and let me tell you, it was one of the best (and weirdest) sounds I've ever heard. You have proven yourself to be the royal stealer of all of my energy, and I never seem to be able to get enough sleep. But we are so happy that you're growing! We can't wait to feel you moving, hopefully soon! Your Daddy is so wonderful, loving on you and working hard for you and doing practically everything for me. I think you'll really like him.

He's already crazy about you.

It's been pouring rain outside all day long. I really hope you like rain and storms as much as your Daddy and I do. So, don't believe the other small fries that you'll be friends with -- storms really aren't scary at all. Kids lie.

But for now, I just ask that you stay safe and keep growing the way you should. God is so good, trusting us to take care of and love you. I pray that you'll grow to know and find joy in His goodness.

Oh, and please forgive me for not eating very healthy... it's hard, you'll learn, to stay away from foods you love when all the healthy stuff looks entirely unappetizing. I have a feeling you and I will be bonding over large amounts of milk & cookies and buttery, cheesy baked potatoes in your future. Yeah, I know, it sounds really yummy right now.

Love you, sweet thing,
Mama


P.S. Here's a horrid picture of me at 10 weeks,
right before I crashed into bed and slept for 11.5 hours straight.
