Dear Munchkin,
Yesterday I was officially 6 months pregnant! And today is 26 weeks. Just a couple more weeks left in my (your) second trimester. I feel you move more and more, and Daddy and I are just enthralled watching the movements we can actually see in my tummy. And every day, we love you more and more. Your Daddy covers my belly with kisses nearly every day, and now he's trying to teach you to count. He's really hoping you take after me when it comes to math ability.
Keep growing and cooking, baby girl! This week, depending on which website I read, you're the size of a head of lettuce, or a scallion, or a hothouse cucumber. Which is to say, approximately 14 inches, and about 1 lb, 10-12 oz.
Our babymoon last weekend was wonderfully relaxing, and of course it got us thinking about what our next trip will look like - with a suitcase full of diapers and wipes and baby clothes and all the accoutrements we'll need. You'll be a lot of work, Munchkin, but it's work we are SO excited to do. We are so looking forward to meeting you on the outside!
love,
Mommy

V-Day and then some
Dear Munchkin,
As of today, I am 25 weeks. Last week, 24 weeks, was an important milestone: Viability Day. Babies born at 24 weeks have a 50/50 shot at surviving. On my forum, it's called V-Day and we all celebrate it. Of course, we want you to keep cooking for a lot longer, but it's still comforting to know we've made it this far.
I still feel you moving around, and it's still exciting every time - not much in the way of deliberate kicks, but apparently yesterday you kicked or punched the transducer my doctor uses to hear your heartbeat hard enough to move it! I love that you're already feisty. The appointment went well - you're measuring right on track, and my doctor is pleased.
This weekend, Daddy and I are going on our babymoon - our last weekend trip as a family of two instead of three. We are just planning to relax a lot.
I love you so much, baby girl. Beyond words.
Love,
Mommy
