Growing

Hi my little one. I got to see you again this past Friday and you had grown so much in a week.  You are about the size of a lemon.  Why you are compared to fruit I have no idea, but the nurse said that that is about how big you are.

You kicked and waved hello, which absolutely made my day...and a few tears of joy trickled down my cheeks.  Your heart beat was 168, which is right on track.  I saw your brain hemispheres, your little toes and fingers and your little belly.   You are cute.  

Here you are at about 10 1/2 weeks.

We go back in to see the doctor in 2 1/2 weeks.  By then we will be into the second trimester.  My eyes are filling with tears of joy as I type this.  You are absolutely awe-inspiring.  

I continue to pray for you...as do so many others.

I love you,

Mommy
