Hi Baby!
I have quite a few things to tell you from this week. First off, we are at that magical 13 week number! WOOHOO for us. I guess maybe it isn't that magical for us - we need that magical 14 week number with our cerclage, don't we? But, you are 1/3 of the way done cooking and I am so excited. Thank you again for being so nice to me so far. No vomiting, very little nausea and just being tired. I couldn't ask for an easier 13 weeks. We are coming up on the "easy" and fun time now and I hope that you continue to be so nice to me.
We heard you for the first time on the doppler this last week. I was looking and looking then you appeared! We listened again later so your daddy could hear too. Made this whole pregnancy thing kind of real. I guess you are really on your way, little peanut!
I think Mommy is looking a little pregnant. I went out to dinner last night and I wore a new dress. I went to the bathroom towards the end of dinner and I looked in the mirror. The way the dress was draping, I looked HUGE - like 7 months pregnant. I was so shocked. In a way, I was surprised to be showing so quickly and in a way, I was excited. I would rather look pregnant than fat so I will take it and wear that dress everyday :) Not only did I look pregnant on Tuesday, apparently, it was also obvious to Auntie Becky & Uncle Steve. On cookie day last weekend, I guess they were scoping out my tummy. Auntie Becky was so excited about the news! We gotta hurry up and tell people before they know just by looking at me.
I have a funny for you. I ended up telling your cousin Brandi and I told her it was a secret. She said "My lips are as sealed as your cervix will be." What a good one :)
Well, baby, we have a big weekend ahead. We have Christmas Eve on Friday. Then, the big "reveal" on Christmas day to your Lang family. Finally, the second "reveal" on Sunday to everyone else. I hope that they are as excited as we are and I hope they are surprised!
