Dear Grayson,
I can't believe I am already 36 weeks (+6 days!) pregnant with you. Everyone has been saying from the beginning to savor every moment, and that pregnancy will fly by. That was hard to believe at first. It seemed to inch by as we waited for our first ultrasound, to hear your heart beat for the first time, to find out your gender, and so on. Now, I am really feeling the truth behind their advice. I feel like it was just yesterday we found out we were expecting you. We were both nervous and so excited to be embarking on this brand new journey that would lead us to you. Now, I am full term with you tomorrow, when I hit 37 weeks. It's crazy how time flies by.
The quickness of it all really hit me in this past week or so. At my last check up with our midwife, at about 35 weeks +5 days, she told me that she is hoping I go into labor right around 37 weeks. I believe her exact words were "next week" at first. I had to do a double take and ask her to repeat herself. That's when she pointed out that you were a big baby already, and that 37 weeks was full term. So she's hoping I go right around then. Of course, I have known 37 weeks is full term since before I was pregnant. But hearing her say that really put everything into perspective. We could be meeting you next week. After all this waiting, you really could almost be here.
The following day, we had an ultrasound to check your position and growth. At our previous ultrasound, you were in a breech position, which is when your head is up by my ribs instead of down by my pelvis. When a baby stays that way, it results in c-section. I was terrified of this. I'm scared of all things medical, but in a way excited for birth as I have come to accept that is what my body is meant to do. A c-section, I have not been able to come to terms with. It still terrifies me. We went in with fingers crossed, and first thing she does is check your head, which was down by my pelvis. You are in position and ready to go! We were so very happy. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean I won't end up needing a c-section for some reason, but at least gives me the normal chance at a vaginal delivery. That's all I can ask for. In the end, though, it only matters that you arrive safely.
The ultrasound techs can't disclose any results to you, but thankfully your Dad had a very good view of the screen. You were measuring about 7.5 lbs! You are pretty much full grown, as well as in position. That just gives me so much more faith that we will be meeting you sooner than later. I had my next appointment today, in which our midwife told me you are measuring in the 90th percentile. That means that you are bigger than 90% of babies at this point in pregnancy. No wonder she is hoping you come soon! You are such a big boy! I'm okay with that though. Chubby babies are the cutest. :)
Your Dad is getting SO excited! Every time we talk about you he says, "I just can't wait for him to be here." It's the sweetest thing. He really is so eager to hold you, and so am I. He is ready as a first time Dad can be. He knows what I'm talking about when it comes to all the weird birth and labor terms. He even paid complete attention to the videos of live births in the birthing class we took. Your Dad is going to be so amazing with you, I just know it. We are hoping to meet you next week. Even though this pregnancy has flown by, it still feels like we have waited forever to meet you. Stay in as long as you need to, but don't keep us waiting too long baby boy!!

32 weeks.
Dear Grayson,
32 weeks was definitely a week to remember! Not only did your Grandma and great Aunt Anne come to visit, but we also had our baby shower, and got to see you with a 3D/4D ultrasound! It was almost too much fun for one week(or weekend, rather) to contain.
You kicked your Grandma the first night she got into town. She was so happy. Usually, you don't like to move much for anyone aside from your Daddy. But, the second she put her hand on my belly, you gave her a swift (loving) kick! You must love her tons already, and I know she loves you! She is already spoiling you rotten. She got you some really cute clothes, your crib, and made you the sweetest blanket which I'm sure you will have for years to come. Between your Grandma and Granny, you will surely be spoiled by love!
The baby shower was such an amazing time. We had it at your aunt Michele's house. Granny, Aunt Michele, and Amy planned it. They did an amazing job. It was so cutely decorated, and the food was delicious! I'm so happy Grandma and Aunt Anne were able to come out for the shower. So many of Mommy's friends and of course our family came to celebrate you. Let me tell you something, Grayson. You are already surrounded by SO much love. You really are one lucky baby, and I am the luckiest Mommy. We played fun games, took silly photos, ate yummy food, and talked and laughed for hours. & It was all in celebration of you. I couldn't have asked for a better day.
The next day, we went to have a 3D/4D ultrasound done so we could see you. Thankfully, your Grandma's flight wasn't until much later. She was able to come, as well as your Granny, Auntie Maddi, and of course Daddy. It was definitely one of the most amazing days in our pregnancy so far. (Yes, I know. I have said that about many days. But you know what? Pregnancy IS amazing and every little monument with you has been life changing!) The man and woman who worked at InfantSee 3d were SO nice. It made me think of what an amazing job that probably is.. To watch people see their sweet babies all day long. Wow! Anywho, you can tell the gentleman who did ours really loved his job. He was too funny, and reminded me of an overly excited sportscaster or something. He described every little thing he did, and every little thing we were seeing. I loved that.
You had your hand and foot in front of your face. You kept playing with them, as well as your umbilical cord. I said it about your last ultrasound and I'll say it again, you take after your dad. You don't like pictures! We positioned me a bunch of weird ways, pushed and tapped on my belly to get you to move. Even the process of trying to get a better shot of your face was amazing. I absolutely love looking at every teeny tiny feature of yours. Your little fingers, and feet. Your belly, and heart. Your big lips, and the chubbiest cheeks. You did move eventually, and we got to see your face. Oh my goodness, that face absolutely took my breath away. You are so handsome, and already the absolute cutest baby I have ever seen. Your Granny was crying, your auntie was smiling, and your Grandma had a look of pure joy in her eyes. And your Daddy... Wow. He was just in complete awe. His jaw was dropped almost the entire time. It makes me love him even more to see how much he loves you. It was completely surreal to see you. We saw you in 3d before, but this time you are almost completely developed. We saw what you are going to look like, what you already look like. I keep looking at your pictures over and over again thinking, "That's my baby, this is our son." I use the word surreal WAY too much since I became pregnant, but it really is the best word to describe it.
I can't wait even more to meet you now. Having an idea of what you look like just makes it that much more of a reality that in 8 short, short weeks, you will be here! With those pouty lips, and those chunky cheeks... Just waiting to be covered in kisses. We love you so much, handsome boy.

30 weeks.
Dear Grayson,
I can't believe it is only 10 weeks until you make your grand entrance. I feel like my pregnancy has just flown by. In the beginning, everyone was telling me to savor every moment and that it would go by so fast. At the time, I didn't understand that completely. Now, I fully understand and am so glad I took their advice and really took in every moment of pregnancy so far. I know we have 10 weeks to go, but trust me when I say that 10 weeks is nothing.
We can't wait to meet you. Your Dad says so all the time. I think it's a little different for him. I get to carry you around in my belly all day and feel every single movement. He only gets to feel you when he has his hand on my belly. Or his arm, back, or head. Actually, almost any part of his body touches my belly and you start moving! You guys love each other so much already. Anyway, I think he is extremely excited for the day that he gets to be the one carrying you around, and holding you in his arms. We both can't wait to see what you look like. Last week, we went to Florida and stayed at your great grandparents' house. It was such a nice time, and I got to see TONS of baby pictures of your dad. He was the cutest little baby! If you look like him, I won't complain a bit. Though, in your last 3d ultrasound, you definitely had that Frastak nose. I hope that means you will look like BOTH of us. Your dad seems to think you will look like him. He said he has "strong baby genes." Confused, I asked him how would he know that! He said he looks just like he did when he was a baby, and most people (according to him) don't. Therefore, of course, that means he has strong baby genes. I thought that was the funniest thing. We'll see!!
We might actually see pretty soon! Well, at least have an idea. In a couple weeks, when I hit 32 weeks, we have another 3d/4d ultrasound. We can't wait!! It's perfect too, because my baby shower is the day before. So your Grandma will be in town, and gets to come along! Of course, your Granny and Auntie will be there too! It should be pretty amazing. Last time we saw you, I was 21 weeks. You were very developed, and we got a good look at that sweet face of yours. But this time, you will be almost fully developed!! We are hoping we get a very good idea as to what you look like.
At 30 weeks, you're about the size of a head of cabbage(3 lbs) and just about 16 inches long. Oh my goodness! You've come a long way from the size of a poppyseed! It's no wonder that you will now kick and move my whole stomach! It's pretty crazy looking/feeling. Sometimes you'll kick so hard, it'll make your dad jump and take his hand off. It's very funny. Mama is feeling pretty good! I feel very blessed that you have been so kind to me. Don't get me wrong, the third trimester is turning out to not be a walk in the park. My back is killing me, and sleeping is near impossible. I toss n turn, and pee about 5 times a night. I'm also big, everywhere. I waddle, and my feet and ankles are swollen. I miss my ankles, which are now certified cankles! However, I see a lot of people that have it so much worse. Therefore, I am very thankful. I just can't wait to meet you, and hold you, and kiss you, and look into your eyes. I cant wait to watch your dad meet you, and hold you, and kiss you, and look into your eyes. I can't wait to officially be a family of 3!!
We love you so much Grayson!
With love,
Your mama.

26 weeks.
Dear Grayson,
I am now 26 weeks pregnant with you! You are currently about a pound and two thirds, and packing on more baby weight every day. You're about 14 inches long, which is about the length of an english cucumber. SO BIG! Your ears are more sensitive and developed. You can hear your Daddy and I talking to you! The other day, I was singing in the car, and you were going crazy in there. I like to think it's because you were happy to hear my voice. Your dad thinks it's because you wanted me to stop singing, but we both know the truth! You are also practicing breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid. Get those lungs strong, baby boy!
I definitely feel fully pregnant now. My back hurts, and my feet swell. I'm starting to accidentally hit my belly on walls when I turn around(not hard of course), or not realize how close I am to things. There is DEFINITELY no mistaking by anyone that I am pregnant at just a glance. Though I'm pretty sure it's been that way for awhile, I myself, am finally convinced! It's crazy though. With everything setting in and feeling completely real, I feel like it has gone by so fast so far! I feel like I am going to meet you so soon! I can't wait to see what you look like. Will you look like me or your dad? Or perhaps you will be a perfect combo of both of us? I can't wait to give you hugs and kisses and tell you how much I love you.
At the same time, I am starting to freak out a bit! Not in a bad way, I just want everything to be perfect when you get here. I want your nursery to be perfectly put together, your clothes to be washed and hung. I want our new couches and our house to be completely unpacked and organized. I want you to come into a clutter free world. I want to be completely educated and ready for you. I want to know every little thing about taking care of a baby so your dad and I can be perfect for you! I know, your mama is crazy. We have 3 months until you make your grand entrance! For some reason, at this point it just seems so close!
However, even with all these crazy thoughts of perfection before you arrive, I know we won't be perfect. I know we will fumble just as all first time parents do. I know stacks of laundry will pile up, and the dishes will get left to the side a few times. I know our home won't look like it came from a Martha Stewart ad. And you know what? That's okay with me. All I really want deep down is to know that your dad and I are surrounding you with as much love as humanly possible and doing everything we can to make sure you are the happiest baby. I'm pretty sure that much we can accomplish.
With love,
Your Mama.

24 weeks
Dear Grayson,
I can't believe I am already 24 weeks pregnant with you. You are already just over a pound, and about a foot long. You're about the length of an ear of corn! I know I say it in every single letter I've written to you, but I really just can't believe how big you are already! Your brain and lungs are developing more quickly now. You also are more proportional and starting to plump up just a bit. However, you still have a ways to go before you are my chubby little newborn. So, stay in there a few more months and keep growing!!
In all the excitement over finding out that you're a boy, I forgot to talk about your kicks in my last letter. Around 19-20 weeks, your dad finally felt you!! The very first time, I had him put my hand on my stomach and you kicked. Immediately, he looked up at me. I told him he felt you, and he said "I think so, but I don't know!" But I knew from the timing of his look he definitely did. The second time he felt you was a bigger kick and he was certain. You should have seen his smile! He was in complete awe of you. You kick him all the time now. He is the only person, (aside from your mama!) who you keep on kicking when he puts his hand on my belly. In fact, you won't be active and he will put his hand there and say "kick me, little guy!" and sometimes you actually will. You also kick him in the mornings when I am still sleeping. I think he really loves that, and is quite proud his baby boy kicks him even when mama is sleeping! It's like one on one bonding time for the two of you.
Now-a-days, you kick and flip and punch CONSTANTLY! You are such an active little boy already. I can even see you moving my stomach from the outside. The first time we saw it was actually on our honeymoon, and it was very slight. Now, you punch and kick at the same time and my whole stomach moves! It is really insane to see. Sometimes, you will kick SO hard, I swear it feels like you're just going to burst through my belly button. I love every single movement, though. It's amazing. It's yet another thing about carrying you that is absolutely surreal.
We move into your first home in a couple of weeks. You probably won't remember because we will be stationed elsewhere when you are 2, but it will be your first home. I can't wait. Not only am I very excited to be moving on base, and into your Dad and I's first townhouse, but I am excited to be able to see your room. I can't wait to walk into your nursery and know, this is Grayson's room. I can't wait to start decorating and putting everything together. Just another thing that will make this all that much more real! Also, it is right up the street from the hospital you will be born in! How exciting!
Only 3 more months until we get to see that handsome face of yours in person. We love you so much, baby boy.
With Love,
your mama

22 weeks.
Dear little one,
So much has happened in the past four weeks or so! Your dad and I have been very busy with our honeymoon, our ultrasound, work, moving, and so much more! Since I missed my 20 week (HALFWAY EEK!) letter to you this one might be pretty long.
Oh, what's that? You noticed I said ultrasound?! That's right, last week (21 weeks, May 22nd, to be exact) we found out that you are... A BOY!!! Grayson Ryan Kuhn, that's you! Though, you already know this since you are reading this much into the future, right now it is new to us and extremely exciting. Our sweet baby boy. We are over the moon, ecstatic, elated, completely overjoyed to be having a baby boy! It's completely surreal, and I feel so much more connected to you now that we know.
It is amazing seeing you on the screen. You are quite the wiggly one! The ultrasound lady kept laughing because you just kept on dancing and squirming and not cooperating too much. I would feel you kick, and a second later see it on the screen. We saw your legs, your feet, your arms, your hands, your big lips.. Your lungs, your kidneys, your brain, your heart.. Every little feature, even your organs, were absolutely beautiful to us. I was so in awe, I almost forgot about gender until she asked asked if we wanted to know. We immediately said YES!! I looked at your dad, and he looked anxious. Not in a bad way, but you could tell he was just overwhelmed with excitement.
That's when she said that she was 98% sure that we were having a... GIRL! "Wait, what?" is probably what you are thinking. Haha, oh gosh! Well, she mentioned the cord was in the way. For some strange reason, it didn't seem quite real. Perhaps because we didn't get a 100%, or maybe because subconsciously we knew she was wrong. Either way, we were so happy. Both your dad and I teared up. A few minutes later, she decided to double check and see if she could get a better shot of "the goods". Well, Mr. Grayson, let me tell you. You did NOT like being called a girl. There it was, hanging out for the world to see in every shot she got. She said "Oh my gosh, you're having a boy! That is definitely a boy!" I smile thinking of her giggle and how certain she was after mistaking before.
My world spun for a moment, and I needed to know for sure! I asked both the tech and your daddy a few times, "100%?! You're sure?!" She said, "Yes, look!!" It was there, your third leg as she later called it. "Yes babe, you can see it right there! That's definitely a boy!," said your dad. I will never forget the look in his eyes and the huge smile on his face knowing that he was going to have a son. He was certain, and therefore I was certain. I was overcome by the most immense feeling of joy. Completely surreal. I had absolutely no doubt as I did when she had said girl. Just pure happiness, and excitement. I just kept thinking, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A SON!!!!! We both had tears in our eyes. Your dad and I were both at a loss for words. We just kept looking at each other and smiling. Deep, giant, and true smiles. Smiles that neither of us had seen before. Smiles that expressed a level of happiness that there are just no words for.
After we found out for certain, she tried to get a good picture of your profile and face. You were not cooperating. You're camera shy, just like your dad! So she switched it over to 3D mode. It was in that moment, that we saw your handsome little face. It was absolutely incredible. In that moment, both your Dad and I fell even MORE in love, if that's even possible. It was the most handsome, beautiful, and perfect little face I have ever seen. I have that picture on the background of my phone, and your Dad has it as his desktop at work. We look at you constantly. We point out how big your lips are, how you have your mama's nose, how much you look like Wyatt did in his 3D photo already. We can't wait to see you in real life. To be able to kiss that perfect little nose, and those big lips! You are absolutely perfect, and you aren't even done developing yet!
Speaking of development, you are about the size of a papaya at 22 weeks! (11 inches)Your eyes have formed, and your eyelids, lips, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct. You look like a little newborn in there!! &We saw first hand, you really do. I can't wait to meet you Grayson!! Your Mommy and Daddy love you so very much!
With Love,
Your mama
So much has happened in the past four weeks or so! Your dad and I have been very busy with our honeymoon, our ultrasound, work, moving, and so much more! Since I missed my 20 week (HALFWAY EEK!) letter to you this one might be pretty long.
Oh, what's that? You noticed I said ultrasound?! That's right, last week (21 weeks, May 22nd, to be exact) we found out that you are... A BOY!!! Grayson Ryan Kuhn, that's you! Though, you already know this since you are reading this much into the future, right now it is new to us and extremely exciting. Our sweet baby boy. We are over the moon, ecstatic, elated, completely overjoyed to be having a baby boy! It's completely surreal, and I feel so much more connected to you now that we know.
It is amazing seeing you on the screen. You are quite the wiggly one! The ultrasound lady kept laughing because you just kept on dancing and squirming and not cooperating too much. I would feel you kick, and a second later see it on the screen. We saw your legs, your feet, your arms, your hands, your big lips.. Your lungs, your kidneys, your brain, your heart.. Every little feature, even your organs, were absolutely beautiful to us. I was so in awe, I almost forgot about gender until she asked asked if we wanted to know. We immediately said YES!! I looked at your dad, and he looked anxious. Not in a bad way, but you could tell he was just overwhelmed with excitement.
That's when she said that she was 98% sure that we were having a... GIRL! "Wait, what?" is probably what you are thinking. Haha, oh gosh! Well, she mentioned the cord was in the way. For some strange reason, it didn't seem quite real. Perhaps because we didn't get a 100%, or maybe because subconsciously we knew she was wrong. Either way, we were so happy. Both your dad and I teared up. A few minutes later, she decided to double check and see if she could get a better shot of "the goods". Well, Mr. Grayson, let me tell you. You did NOT like being called a girl. There it was, hanging out for the world to see in every shot she got. She said "Oh my gosh, you're having a boy! That is definitely a boy!" I smile thinking of her giggle and how certain she was after mistaking before.
My world spun for a moment, and I needed to know for sure! I asked both the tech and your daddy a few times, "100%?! You're sure?!" She said, "Yes, look!!" It was there, your third leg as she later called it. "Yes babe, you can see it right there! That's definitely a boy!," said your dad. I will never forget the look in his eyes and the huge smile on his face knowing that he was going to have a son. He was certain, and therefore I was certain. I was overcome by the most immense feeling of joy. Completely surreal. I had absolutely no doubt as I did when she had said girl. Just pure happiness, and excitement.

18 weeks.
Dear little one,
I am now 18 weeks pregnant! Though, technically we are measuring about a week ahead. So really, I am just about 19 weeks. But unless the doctor changes the due date at my next ultrasound, we are going to stick with 18 weeks for now! Speaking of which, my next ultrasound is in less than 3 weeks, right after we get home from our honeymoon. At that ultrasound, we should be able to find out if you are a boy or a girl!!! Please cooperate and don't cross your legs! I cannot wait. I want to shop and plan for you, and quit having to say he/she. Mostly, I want to see you. You are/will be soo much bigger than the last time we got to see you. You'll look like a realy baby and be doing a lot more! I just can't wait. Time is crawling by.
Then again, sometimes it seems to be going by SO fast. You are already about the size of a bell pepper!! Your ears are in their final position, and you're developing a protective coating around your nerves. Your blood vessels are hard at work, and are still visible through your skin. You are getting a work out in there, flexing your arms and legs. Practicing your own little kickboxing routine! I have felt you more regularly now. I feel you everyday!! The kicks have gotten much bigger and more noticeable. You're even kicking me right now as I write this!! I've even felt you flip a few times, which is a very strange sensation(but awesome none the less!).
The other day, I was out with your Aunt Maddi. She pointed out that you were on the right side of my stomach. I looked down, and she was right! I could SEE that one side of my tummy was bigger than the other. It was so strange. She pushed on that side to get you to kick later on, and I literally felt you swim on over to the other side. It was the craziest feeling!!! I have felt you kick with my hand once, but you have yet to kick hard enough for anyone else to feel just yet. Your Dad is dying to feel you! We know you will when you're big enough and ready, though. I already know that you love him. Last night as we were laying down, your Daddy had already fallen asleep. He put his hand on my stomach, and you immediately began to kick right where his hand was! It wasn't hard enough to feel from the outside, but it made me tear up. It was like you knew he was there, and wanted to say hello. When I told him, he was so excited. It really was amazing.
We both love you SO much already! :)

16 weeks.
Dear little one,
Today I am 16 weeks pregnant with you. 4 months. Only 24 weeks until I meet you. In a month, I will be halfway done with this pregnancy. It's so crazy. On one hand, my pregnancy is going by so quickly and I can't believe we're already at this point. On the other hand, it is going by so very slow. I just want to meet you already! Or at least know if you are a boy, or a girl! I have to just remind myself that I will never be at this point in my pregnancy with you again, and I need to savor every single little moment.
Speaking of little moments, something monumental happened this past week. I felt you. I without a doubt, undeniably felt you. It was absolutely magical!! It was something so small and so brief, yet I will never forget that moment as long as I live. I've dwelled on every little gas bubble, and tummy grumble, hoping that it was maybe, possibly me feeling you. This time I was certain. It was just a few days ago, and I was 15 weeks 4 days. I was sitting at my desk, mindelessly staring at the computer and waiting for my work day to end so I could go home and see your Dad. All of a sudden, I felt it. Three small taps in a row. South of my belly button, just to the right. If you take your index finger, and tap it lightly on the back of your hand, that is exactly what it felt like. Except, it was from the inside. I've never felt anything like it, and I knew it was you. Your first hello to you Mama. I told your dad, and he was thrilled. He can't wait until he can feel you, too. Kick him sooner rather than later, okay? :)
I haven't felt you since, but it's okay. For now, I can cherish that one moment. I know soon enough, I will be feeling your every kick and punch. Which won't be too much longer, really. You are already the size of an avocado. Your head is more erect, and your eyes and ears are moving close to their final positions. You're growing toenails, and your scalp is developing. Though, you don't really have any hair yet, per se. You're little heart is pumping up to 25 quarts of blood a day. I can't wait to hear it again at my appointment in a few days! In the next few weeks, you will double your weight, and nearly double your weight. You're getting so big, and so is my belly! I love it. I love resting my hands on my belly and knowing you are in there. It's amazing, really. I am just so blessed to be your mother.

14 weeks.
Dear little one,
This is my first letter to you. I hope I find the time to make it the first of many. I can only imagine you being older, and reading back on these letters from your mama. The thought of that alone made me decide to want to try this out. So here goes nothin'!
I am currently 14 weeks pregnant with you. That is extremely exciting! I am in my second trimester, and people consider this to be out of the riskiest zone of pregnancy. I am so thankful to have made it this far with you, and just can't wait for all the months to come! Anyway, this week you are the size of a lemon!!! A LEMON! That's huge! I know it may not seem like it, but you are getting so big. Did you know that you started out the sized of a poppy seed? When you think about it that way, you truly are growing so fast my little lemon. Also, this week, you've began to work on your facial expressions, and sucking your thumb. You've also began to pee. I know, kind of gross, but still a mile marker in your growth. So, pee like a champ, baby! You've also developed a layer of peach fuzz-ish hair called "lanugo", to protect your skin and stuff. You're my fuzzy, peeing, thumb sucking, little lemon. And you are awesome.
You're swimming around in there. Dancing and punching and kicking, even though I can't feel it yet. Your Dad and I witnessed it first hand this past week. We had our very first doctor's appointment and ultrasound with you. We saw you. We saw you wiggling, and dancing. Movin', and groovin'. We saw your precious heart beating. We heard the magical "thump, thump, thump" of a healthy heart. That was absolutely one of the very happiest moments of my life thus far. The feeling of seeing you on that screen was completely surreal. You should've seen your dad's face. He was smiling ear to ear. There you were, our baby. In that moment, we were your Mommy & Daddy. In that moment, I laid eyes on the most miraculous thing I have ever seen. We made you. & I think I speak for both of us when I say, that moment took our breaths away.
We love you so much already, little one.

Nine Weeks.
[image from thebump.com]
I'M 9 WEEKS!! Only 31 to go. Hmm.. 9 weeks seems so far along until you think about how many you have to go haha. Either way, our baby is the size of a green olive! Or a grape. It is weird to think that something that size is swimming around inside me, yet I can't feel it. Sure, olives are small, but not that small when you really think about it. HOLD THE PHONE, STOP THE PRESSES. THIS JUST IN. My baby has graduated from being an embryo to a fetus!!!! Fetus is kind of a gross word.. but that is really exciting. Let's say he/she is no longer an embryo and is now considered medically a baby. That sounds better. You go, little baby. Keep up the growing. His/her body parts are mostly there, and ready to be developed further in the coming weeks. That little face continues to become more distinct, and the tail is gone. Most of her "basic physiology" is there, and ready to grow and grow.
I've been feeling okay. The nausea hasn't been present too much this week. I am extremely thankful for that. It also kind of scares me that it seems to be going away so soon, but I am just thinking positively about how I am lucky. I have seen tons of mama-to-be's spend the first part of their pregnancy really sick. I'm thankful to be pretty functional. I am, however, exhausted. I just want to sleep.While I am at work, all I can think of is going to sleep. When I'm sleeping and wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, I am almost too exhausted to get up. The other night, we laid down for bed at 7:30!! I feel like the exhaustion, and urge to sleep more and more is just prepping me for September, when I will practically be running on no sleep. I have also been dealing with headaches every now and then. Last week, they were really bad and almost constant. This week, I am thankful they are on and off, yet still a little bothersome. I think I have started the cravings. Oh man, when I want food, I HAVE TO HAVE IT. There will be no rest until I have it. It's only happened a feeew times, so I'm sure it'll only get worse from here haha! Of course, I have still been on an emotional rollercoaster. Overall, I feel pretty fine. I am so blessed, and baby is taking it easy on me. Thank you little one! I love you so much already.
With love,

Eight Weeks.
I really cannot believe I am already eight weeks(as of Thursday 2/16)! This pregnancy is seeming to go by so quickly, yet so slow at the same time. Little one is the size of a raspberry!! His/her taste buds are forming this week. Though, I don't think those will be put to use to a good while. Amniotic fluid sounds gross, and I'm breast milk doesn't taste much better. Hah! He/she has little webbed fingers and toes now, and is swimming around my womb! I just can't wait until I can actually feel the little one. Nerve cells are branching out in the brain and preparing for all of the genius-ness. Our baby's tail is almost gone, and his/her facial features are becoming more pronounced. Our baby is looking more and more like a BABY every day!! :)
Mama has not been feeling well. Smells are starting to get to me. The smell of gasoline, cigarette smoke, and fish are the worst. They make my head hurt and make me feel even more nauseous. Both of those have been happening either way, though. My head has hurt so bad this whole week. It ranges from a pounding migraine to just aching. I'm not sure if that is from hormones, or just a headache I normally would've gotten but now can not treat. I have also been feeling quite nauseous still. I had one night where I was making dinner and just shaking from how ill I was starting to feel. I have just been breathing through it, and keeping snacks on me at all time. Also, if I need to sit down, no matter what I am doing, I do just that. I have sat in the midlle of our hallway just because I felt like I needed to. My body is in control right now, and I am not going to try and fight it and make myself feel worse. I am just going to take it one day at a time, with A LOT of water to help me out along the way. I feel lucky though. Even when I feel ill, I just remind myself that it is because there is a precious little life growing inside of me. Also, a lot of women feel really awful, and have to deal with things like throwing up constantly. I think overall, baby is being very good to their mama. :)
My belly is feeling like it is starting to look bigger. Even other people have noticed. I don't know if it's just bloating or what. It's pretty exciting though! I can't wait until I have a legit baby bump! I can't wait to rub my belly and talk to the little one. I can't wait to feel him/her kick!! It is all so very exciting. I just love this little raspberry sized baby so so much.
With love,

Seven Weeks.
So, apparently I am making a habit of writing these entries through the week, and posting them on like the last day. So, this was written over my 7th week of pregnancy!!!! Week 8 begins tomorrow. EEK!
My little baby is the size of a blueberry!! A BLUEBERRY! That seems sooo big for some reason. It's just so strange how this little baby has gone from microscopic, to something totally visible to the naked eye. (Well, if the naked eye could see inside of my body. You get the point.) Little hands and feet are developing on his/her still developing little legs! In no time, my baby will be dancing around my womb, throwing out jazz hands and all. But, for now, those little hands and feet look more like tiny paddles. I think the most exciting thing about 7 weeks is that his/her brain is developing at a super fast pace! 100 cells per minute, to be exact. I'm sure our little one is developing even more though. I mean, our little blueberry is SURE to be a baby genius. He/she does haveDaddy's Mommy's genes, after all.
Mama is definitely starting to feel some more symptoms kick in. I threw up for the first time the other morning. Yuck! I haven't again, but I have definitely felt like it. I get nauseous a lot. I have learned, though, throw my sister and the suggestions of friends, to constantly keep my belly full. My little one gets very angry when he/she is not fed apparently, and that's what makes me feel sick. When I start to get that queasy feeling, I just snack on something. It usually helps. This pretty much means I am eating constantly. But hey, that's much better than throwing up constantly! Other than, I have just been exhausted. Even when I get plenty of sleep, I am just so tired all day. For once, I am falling asleep before Justin. Insanity.
I should probably mention my moodiness as well. I asked Justin if I had had been moody at all. He pointed out some stupid stuff I had gotten angry over. Such as flippin' out over there being a wait at Olive Garden, and some other ridiculous things that usually wouldn't phase me. He then pointed out that, while making french toast last week, I dropped a piece on the floor. That triggered a full on melt down, of course. I cried so so hard. Pretty funny looking back, but yall don't understand! That was the most perfectly golden brown piece. It was a tragic morning in our household. Fast forward to Valentine's Day, yesterday. We went to see The Vow. I thought it was so good! Plus, it stars my favorite, Rachel McAdams, and eye candy Channing Tatum. Anywho, I didn't even make it to the movie before crying! A Titanic 3D preview came on, and I was all tears. Oh, the joys of being pregnant.:) At least I can laugh about my silly emotions later!!
Another amazing thing happened on Valentine's day. WE GOT OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE! So very exciting. I just can't wait for it to be signed and finally be married. Justin is everything I could ever ask for, and I just can't wait to be his Mrs. I also can't wait to see him as a dad! He's already so sweet, always rubbing my belly and talking about how excited he is. I really lucked out with this one. &This little one. I just love my fiance, and our little tiny blueberry to bits and pieces. :)

He's already so sweet, always rubbing my belly and talking about how excited he is. I really lucked out with this one. &This little one. I just love my fiance, and our little tiny blueberry to bits and pieces. :)
With love,
Brittany Danielle
