dear baby,

this past week has been…long. your dad is still in training at apple and his days at work are very long and a few days a week he goes straight from work to band practice so i haven’t seen a whole lot of him. it’s been kind of hard but i know that he is doing what he needs to do to take care of our little family.

we have been talking a lot about what is going to happen after you are born. Mostly about where we are going to live. I enjoy being at your grandparents house but we know that we can’t be there forever and we don’t want to be there forever. we will most likely move into our own place in the fall when you are a bit bigger and we know more about what our finances will be like. it is kind of a stressful thing to think about but i know that everything will work out exactly how it should.

your dad is such a good man and does so much to take care of me. i know he is going to be the best dad. he already loves you so much. he tells you everyday.

it was general conference this past weekend. it is always great to hear the prophet speak and to get instruction about how we should be living. i feel like we are on a good path, but of course, there are so many things that we need to do better. we want to make sure that you grown up in a home where the gospel is prevalent and that you know that you are a child of God and that He sent you to us.

i don’t go to the dr. until next week and it’s a good thing because i have lost a few pounds and need to put them back on before i go again. i had a couple of days where i really wasn’t feel good and threw up a couple of times. i will be happy when i am no longer throwing up anymore. i really don’t like it and i know that you don’t either because you need all that nutrition. but i know that you are happy and healthy and growing like you should. you are getting awfully strong, little one. your kicks and rolls are quite sharp and sometimes painful. but i would take the pain of your kicks over anything else. they are the greatest ever.

i love you so much, baby! see you in 7 (ish) very short weeks.

love,

mama.
