Can You Hear Me Now?

Dear Baby G,

Today you are 18 weeks and 2 days old.

Although I am not really sure I want to rush the 'bigger belly' stage (A.K.A. uncomfortable sleep stage), at the same time I think I might.

Right now I kind of just look like I'm getting fat. And while the people that really matter know that I am pregnant, not fat, I also would like everyone else to know I'm pregnant, not fat.

On the flip side, can we stay small for a little while longer. My pants still fit and it's cold outside. If you start growing too fast I won't be able to just wear comfortable dresses all the time because my legs will freeze and break off.

They tell me you can hear dad and I now. Sometimes we yell things like "Good Morning!" or "'Daddy's Home," at my belly because we're not sure how well you can hear through all those layers of muscle, (fat), and uterus...TMI? If you can hear pretty well then we apologize for being so loud. Sometimes we just get so excited that we can't help ourselves!

Only 11 more days until my next appointment! Do you think we can make it?

Love,
Mom and Dad
