12 weeks.

Hello my sweet little baby!

This weekend was one of the most wonderful weekends I've ever had. It started with a birthday bbq for your daddy on Friday. We ate, looked at Israel pictures, and then your Pop Pop, Nana, Auntie Nat, Uncle JJ, and cousins opened our gift to them- a simple wooden frame with a picture of you in it! There were a lot of tears, smiles, laughs, and I knew it's. I even got some of my first little belly rubs, which was so fun. Your daddy and I were on cloud nine!

The next morning we went for a nice bike ride/run before we drove out to your Grandma's to tell her, Auntie Krystyn, Uncle Tommy, and your cousins the good news. They were so surprised! They had no idea that we would be pregnant, much less 3 months pregnant! We were all so happy and spent time dreaming about you and talking about my pregnancy. Your family is so, so excited to meet you, little babe!

After we told our family, we started sharing our news with close friends. It was so special to finally make our secret known to those who are closest to us. You are so loved. Everyone, including us, can't stop thinking about you! We're going to make the news even more public in a few days. I can't wait to scream it from the rooftops.

I am feeling great this week. I'm not craving anything specifically, but boy do chips and dip sound good. And green apples. And shaped macaroni (although your dad swears they all taste the same). Speaking of all of this food, I'm going to start prenatal pilates this week, which I am really looking forward to. Other than falling asleep every night at 7:30, I am feeling so healthy and happy. According to others, we've got the "glow"! Must be all the coco butter we've been using. (Mmm...chocolate...)

A little update on you- by the end of this week you'll be about 3 inches long and weigh1 oz. You're doing a lot of growing these days...I am so proud of you! Keep it up, little one.

I love you.

Momma
