Dear Baby Girl
Got a long one for you today! I just got back from the doctor's and you are still sounding pretty good in there! Always good to hear your heartbeat. We're almost 26 weeks now, getting closer and closer, and there is still so much to do. We hardly have ANY of your stuff yet, but we'll be working on it very soon. Dad and I want to take a class before you get here and we also have to decide a few things yet, and time flies so it'll be here before we know it. Yikes! Mom's not ready...
I've gained 20lbs since you decided to come along. I'm not sure if that's very good or not. Doctor hasn't said too much about it, so I'm guessing its okay. I get the glucose test next time I'm there. That will tell me if YOU will end up being a big ol' sucker potentially. Let's hope no gestational diabetes for me, cuz then I can't have any more tasty snacks for awhile!
I ran into your friends Mason and Sophia at the doctor's office! Auntie Erika goes there too and she was leaving when I got there for your check up. Mason was being a silly and thought I was a weirdee, but Sophia was happy to see me. She showed me her monkey backpack (which Auntie Erika said will end up for you someday) and gave me a big kiss when they left. I bet you two will have some good times in a few years.
After I done at the doctor's and almost went to visit Grandma Charyl. She just had knee replacement surgery. She has been having trouble for awhile and it was finally time. She wanted to get it done with time to recover before you come around. I will go visit her later this week when she's feeling a little better. She's at the same hospital that you will be born at. Still wrapping my head around that. She's throwing a baby shower for you next month, and so is Grandma Patti. It should be fun, but it's still about a month away. We'll get to that soon!
Last week was Auntie Kara's birthday. We went to dinner and went to visit some animals and stuff. Then on the weekend we went to an apple orchard. It was pretty amusing. It will be more fun when you can come too! We went and ate some donuts, bought some apples and wine, which I can't have until you come into the world. I'll save it to celebrate! We walked around the orchard a little too. Next year, you can come. Mom LOVES this time of year, because of apple orchards, fall colors and Halloween. I'm so happy you'll be getting pretty big and be old enough to do a lot of those fun things!
Anyway, since Mom is getting bigger and I never started doing the regular belly photos, I like to include them when I can. This is when Auntie Kara and I were out at the apple orchard. Forgive Mom for looking weird, but that's you in there!
Love, Mommy!
