(Week 12) Wednesday, April 20th
Dear Little One,
I guess you are now the size of a large plum. Wowee things are going by pretty fast as far as you growing. I have yet to gain any extra weight, but I definitely have noticed some areas getting soft—tummy and bummy for example. But guess what is going on with you! Hopefully your bone marrow is making white blood cells. That is just nuts to me that your little plum sized body has bones, marrow, and white blood cells. This is your best weapon against germs once you are born, so hopefully things are all going well in that department for you. Yeeesh! What a miracle you are.
As for me, I am still tired and pretty sick. Eating is a must, even though most of the time I don’t even feel hungry. In fact, I think I have stopped feeling hungry all together. Instead I just feel sick.
This evening was a good one. I got paid, ran to the grocery store, picked up some fruit for R.S. and drove home. Then I cut up the fruit and put it in a bowl. I know, not all that exciting, but that is when things picked up. Next I drove over to the church for the R.S. Activity and you would not believe how many people are excited for us. It feels good to have such a wonderful support system surrounding me all the time. They are sweet, kind, and full of wise insights that I am sure I will be implementing.
At the activity we talked about gardening and I cannot wait to get outside and start working in the yard again. This is probably my favorite summer chore. Lawn and garden care is just something I was born to do. I do however often find myself wondering if you will be born with green thumbs or carpenter hands or maybe something completely different from your dad and I. It is something to look forward to for sure.
Keep up the good work in there my marrow producing plum.
Love you,
Mama
