Where We're At

Dear baby,
For the last couple of days, your daddy and I have been reading all kinds of things about babies, from how to eat properly to make sure that you get all the nutrients you need as you're growing, to choosing an ob/gyn or midwife, to what kinds of exercises are ok to do while you're in my tummy.

It's also been fun to read about what's going on inside there every week. Right now, we think you're somewhere around 5-6 weeks old, which means that right now you're only about as big as a grain of rice! It's hard to imagine that you'll grow so much in the next 8 months. Right now, your heart is starting to beat, your eyes and ears are beginning to form, and all of your organs are starting to develop already. Pretty neat, huh?

Have I mentioned how excited I am to have you growing inside me?
Love,
Mama
