I feel like I have so many things to tell you and I just wrote to you a couple of days ago!
On Friday, I had an appointment with a psychic and he told me you were a girl. No surprise there. Then, he said there was a twin in there with you. Ummmm...not a possibility. Since we know there is not a twin, he said that you will have a baby brother some day. He said that your brothers (4) & sisters (2) are up in heaven but they are with us everyday & that we will be reunited someday. That has always been my personal belief but it was nice to hear it from someone else.
Today, I finally talked your dad into getting me a new laptop. After wanting an apple for a long time, I finally caved! He got a free itouch out of it so he was happy too. Your scrapbook pages are going to be awesome.
As a spur of the moment decision, we also traded in my car! Your dad has always hated my car and we ended up getting the car that we have always wanted - a Mazda 3. I would like to say that we are going to hand this down to you but 16 years is a long time for a single car. But, this will be the car you are brought home in and raised in!
OK, the news that impacts you most. You went to your first concert today! I doubled up on my anti-nausea and we rocked at 3 Doors Down. WOOHOO. Awhile back, your dad and I talked about who our #1 concert choice would be. His was Sheryl Crow and mine was Bobby Seger. Both of those came true. My #2 choice was 3 Doors Down and it was fulfilled tonight. I wish you could remember your thoughts in the womb because I am sure you were quite confused tonight. For one thing, we were out of the house from noon until midnight. WOW - what a day of activity. I was also jamming in my chair at the concert. On the last song, I couldn't help but get up and dance. You probably didn't know what the heck that was all about since we are not very active! Finally, it was LOUD. I don't think you can hear that well yet but if you could, at least it was good tunes! My all-time favorite song is Kryptonite by them and it was played tonight.
A side note, the psychic told me that I need to learn not to stress about all the little things and learn how to not take on people's problems as my own. I knew that this was true but I didn't realize how true it was until today. I will work on it for you kiddo because you don't need to be feeling stress in there!
Tomorrow is Father's Day and it is bittersweet. For years, we had TOO MANY places to go - Lang's, Brigham's, Faiman's, and Blankman's. This year, we only have one dad left. This is probably going to be hard for your dad since it is his first father's day without your grampa bob. But, knowing you are on the way is also going to help him get through it. For me, I am not missing your Grampa Larry as much as I had been in the past - it has almost been two years. However, I am missing your Great Grampa Lang for Father's Day tomorrow. He was always our master griller and chef. Last year, we all hung out over there and celebrated his last Father's Day with us. I am sure all those grampas are up there and taking care of you - Grampa Larry, Grampa Bob, Grampa Faiman, Grampa Lang and Grampa Bill. Even though we know that they are looking out for you and are in a "better place," it doesn't make the loss any less painful for us left behind!
I don't think we have any big plans this week but I will have lots to tell you next weekend - we are going on your first road trip to Minnesota to see your "Uncle" Brian play soccer. Then, when we get home, it will be time for our 3 week doctor appointment and we will get to see you again! I am betting you are shaping up now and aren't going to look like such a little blob!!
