Hello Little One!

You’ve been doing all sorts of things like kicking (or headbutting…im not really sure) my bladder. That has been…interesting. You also go through these fits where you kick and roll and dance about for a good solid minute and then you are silent like nothing happened. I think you are itching to get out and wriggle your legs and arms in the open air! Last night your dad got to feel one of these fits. He always seems to get his hand on my belly right when your finished and only feels a thump or two, but this time he got to experience you having a rager in my belly and his eyes got so wide. He thinks you are pretty amazing (i do too).

I think our days of second trimester face stuffing are behind us. We have the appetite but with you growing all sorts of crazy, my stomach cant hold what our tummys really desire. Which lately you have been craving fruity things. You’ve still got that raisen thing going on, but now we would also like all the grapes we can eat…apples…bananas…really anything light and fresh. the strange part about that is you mama looooves green apples and green grapes, but you want no part in that business. red apples and grapes all day long.

you’re doing great penny! keep up the good work in there and we get to see you so very soon! we’re almost at the 10 week count down! yay!

we love you with all our heart!

xoxo,

15 & 16 weeks.

Dear Little One,

Mamas been slackin a little bit on updates. We’ve been super busy around here. You sure are growing. My belly is starting to pop out a little and look like a little prego tummy. You are the size of an avocado which seems super huge to me. You are growing every day and so is our appetite. Oof! We’re hungry! Here are some exciting things that have been happening! Last week, we were laying on the couch and…I felt you move for the first time! It was bizarre and wonderful and a helpful little reminder that you are actually in there. I think your dad is a little jealous that he couldn’t feel it, but i know soon enough you’ll give him a good strong kick and he’ll feel like he’s in the loop. Even as I type this you are fluttering around in there…so crazy! Another momentous occasion was, you got to experience your first Pedros burrito. This is huge to us and a bunch of people you are going to love like crazy. You were super into it and mama was real happy about that : ).

Something that I’m really excited to do is start playing music for you. Your little ears can finally hear…and oh the tastey musical treats I have planned for you. Your dad is letting you borrow his giant headphones so you can hear our favorite tunes through my belly. Our first lessen will be this evening, when I introduce the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album to you. You are going to LOVE it. “God only knows” is your Grandma Teri’s favorite song of all time. I have a good feeling you are going to like it too : ).

We’re hoping that at our next appointment we will finally find out if you are a little man or a little lady. If you could work on getting in a good position for our doctor that would be super helpful : ). We love you and we cant wait to see your little face next week! Keep doin what your doin little one.

XOXO,

14 weeks.

Dear little one,

You are 14 weeks today! I think I am just now realizing that I feel pretty good today. Good Job! Last night we finally had a home cooked meal (with the help of your dad of course!) You love mashed potatoes and stuffing…this i know is a gift from me to you. No doubt we have many thanksgivings to come where our families will have to make extra bowls of things just for me and you : ). I cant believe how fast time is going by. I feel like we just found about about you and now we are chuggin right along into the second trimester. For some reason I was thinking about the Holidays the other day and I realized you get to be here for that this year. I love that the first things you will see when you are super tiny are a part of my favorite time of year. You get to come into the world during my favorite season and you get to dress up like something ridiculous on Halloween, you get to meet all our family on thanksgiving, and you get to see Christmas lights and open prezzies with me and your dad on Christmas morning! I cannot wait to watch you grow and to get a front row seat while you experience things for the first time. You are so amazing little one and we love you so very much!

XOXO,
