At this point, I am a little over 17 weeks pregnant with you, so you're actually a little bigger than a peanut. But my peanut you will be until I find out if you are a handsome little boy or a beautiful little girl in three weeks. And you will probably be my peanut for a long time after that still. After all, I am almost 24 years old and my mother still affectionately calls me her peanut (and I love it). All that aside, there's only about 23 more weeks before you'll be here!
The past 17 weeks have been an adventure. The hormones my body requires to make sure you develop and grow into a little human have wreaked havoc on my digestive system. My emotions are all over the place. I wouldn't trade it in for anything though (except maybe the throwing up - no one likes throwing up, as I am sure you are bound to find out in your lifetime).
The most exciting parts have been, of course, when I found out I was pregnant with you (your daddy was, and still is, thrilled), when I saw you for the first time on the ultrasound, when I heard your little heartbeat, and recently when I felt you move. I'm at least 93% sure I felt you move three times. I know you're moving around in there already, though. You were already being a little wiggle worm at the first ultrasound, and we could hear you moving when we heard your heartbeat.
I just want you to know, though, now and forever after, that your mommy and daddy love you with all their hearts. And we want you to be the best, most healthy baby in the world. Though we are completely new at parenting, please know that we will try our absolute best to raise you well. No matter what, we will always love you. Even when we mess up or you mess up, you are very very loved.
See you soon,
Mommy
