6 Weeks

Hi sweet baby!

We've made it to the 6 week mark :) .. well YOU'VE made it to the 6 week mark! I've done nothing except love you and think about constantly. But you.. you're the real hero. Working so hard at growing big and strong! The website I read says that you are the size of a pea this week! And guess what? That's double your size last week.. GO YOU! It also says that this week you start forming your nose, ears, eyes, chin and cheeks. And in 8 short months I will be kissing and kissing and kissing those cute little ears, eyes, cheeks and nose :) :)

No new symptoms yet! Very, very tired all the time and usually hungry 24/7. This is the week that most people get their morning sickness.. but we're going to cross our fingers that I don't! I know you wouldn't mean to make your mama sick, but still baby.. it's not a very nice thing to do ;)

Last night your daddy got in one of his cleaning moods and he starting moving all of his stuff out of the spare bedroom.. your bedroom! I won't want to start decorating until I find out if you're a little girl or a little boy.. but it's fun to see the room so empty and imagine it filled with your precious baby things :) I think next time I run to Walmart I'm going to buy a pack of baby hangers. That way I can hang some of the clothes I bought you up! It's been hard.. I really feel like you're a girl, but I know that I could be completely wrong! 14 more weeks and we can probably find out!

Tonight we're going to dinner over at your Grandma Garden's. We know that she won't be able to keep the news of you to herself for long, so we figured that we better just tell daddy's brother and sister-in-law (your aunt & uncle). I'm trying not to get nervous.. but I would be so, so heartbroken if anything happened to you.

Please keep growing baby bean,
I love you so, so much!!
