Hi Kiddo! Man, was it ever an exciting day today. Well, I woke up in a panic as I had a bad dream about you and that didn't start the day off right. But, I kept thinking positive thoughts. I figured if I listened for you on the heart rate monitor, I would feel much better about ignoring my dream. For the longest time, I had no luck and I even started getting more nervous as the normal sounds were not even there. Then, you moved and hit the microphone and I breathed a sigh of relief. As I was just about ready to shut it off, YOUR HEARTBEAT came through. My whole body relaxed! It was the first time I had heard it on the monitor - we have heard it at the Dr. office but it isn't the same as when we hear it at home. It was a welcome sound and one I have missed over the past year. Thanks for cutting your mom some slack and getting closer to the microphone.
Since I have been pregnant with you, my nails have been growing like crazy. Not only have they grown long, they are so strong. I don't remember that with any of my other pregnancies. I had your cousin Erica take a picture so I wouldn't forget it when they all broke and I have to put it in my scrapbook! As of today, I have only gained 5 pounds so I can't holler at you for that! Unfortunately, I was carrying 20 from last year but I am trying to be more careful with you!! Now, if you would only quit turning my hair gray, we would be getting along just fine!
