January 19-25
Dear Poppy,
This week Mommy turned 26! We had a little party and lots of Mommy’s friends came. Mommy wanted to tell everyone about you, but it didn’t seem like quite the right time yet. Instead it took Mommy a very long time to find clothes that covered her little bump/bloat. She also secretly drank regular lemonade all night, even though she had made her favorite lemonade cocktail for her friends.
Later this week we got to see you!!! It was so exciting and you are absolutely adorable! We counted 5 fingers on each of your hands and you were squirming around like crazy! Daddy couldn’t stop saying “oh my goodness” the whole time he was watching. This was definitely the most excited Mommy has seen him. Mommy was a bit more quiet – taking it all in (and a little uncomfortable too). The midwife said you looked like you were growing and forming perfectly, although you measured a little small and so they moved your due date from August 18 to the 23rd.
The midwife was a little concerned about how much Mommy has been working, so she put her on a 40 hour/week work restriction. Mommy was a very worried about how her bosses would take the news, as it is a busy time of year and they are understaffed. Mommy’s bosses were surprisingly very accommodating so now she can get more sleep to help you grow big and strong. It is a huge relief for our family.
After the ultrasound we decided to tell your Great-Grandma. Your Andersen Grandparents have been dying to tell her, and we knew she would be so happy hear the news. We all went out to dinner and she told us how happy she is and that family is the most important part of life. She has been praying for your arrival even before we told her you were coming!
Mommy also starting wearing maternity pants this week. Her old pants still fit, but she cannot really button them any longer. Her new pants are so comfy!!
Current size: green olive (.9 inches long)
Cravings: grilled cheese, cereal, pasta. No interest in fish (a usual favorite)
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
