Dear Baby,
Hello little lemon! This week has been an exciting one for us. We had our appointment with the midwife on Tuesday, and we got to hear your little heart beat for the first time! It was so incredibly sweet...and fast! And every time she would find the heartbeat for a bit, you would swim off to another corner. She chased you all over my belly, which made me laugh a lot.
In other news, Aunt Moe was here to hang out with us this week, and that was a lot of fun. We didn't do a whole lot because both Daddy and I had to work, but she is a trooper in that regard!
Apparently by now, loud noises startle you, and you have strong reflexes. I wonder how often Lucy startles you during the day now, but hopefully it will just help you be adjusted to her and all of her random Lucy-isms.
As for food, I want Bonefish bang bang shrimp and a house salad so badly! I am still trying to figure out what else I can have for lunch that won't make me want to cry since Bonefish doesn't open until 4pm. That sounds super dramatic, I know, but it's serious! Perhaps this is the 3rd official craving? Other than that, breakfast food is a favorite this week: eggs, bacon, pancakes, special k breakfast sandwiches. I am also still loving sweets, yogurt, fresh fruit, and, added to the mix this week, long green beans (hallelujah! A vegetable!).
Overall, I am feeling pretty good this week. I still like a good nap, and wish I could just bank some sleep for those middle of the night feedings I know will be here before I know it!
I hope you are having a great time swimming around in there while you can! Pretty soon, you will be bigger and running out of room. But don't worry, we will have you in swimming lessons next summer :)
Until next week, baby lemon, Daddy and I love you!
Love,
Mommy
