HARD WEEK

October 15, 2006
This has been a really hard week for me, and I’m sorry if it’s affected you at all. People say that babies in the womb can feel what the mom is feeling, and I’ve been really sad a few times this week just b/c of a few fights Dad and I have had. So if you’ve felt any of that, I’m really sorry. Another thing that has been hard is some news from a girl at work named Kim. She’s one month behind me in being pregnant, and she went in for her ultrasound. Come to find out, her baby is a boy and has some kind of bone disease. The doctors told her the baby will probably die when he’s born!!! I called Grandpa Kerry to ask him about it, and he said that he’s seen that once before. I feel SO BAD for Kim. And it just makes me so much more grateful for you and the fact that so far you are healthy and doing well. You are still kicking a lot, which is a lot of fun to feel. My last OBGYN appointment went well. Dr. Hebert just checked your heartbeat and it was solid. Next time I go, I have to drink this sugar stuff to make sure I don’t have diabetes. It was Dad’s birthday on the 4th, and I surprised him at his internship as well as at his class later that night with balloons and cake. It was fun to celebrate our first birthday together. Then on the 10th we went and saw Man of La Mancha in West Valley for both of our birthdays. It was a lot of fun to go see that. Hopefully you will like the theater and good entertainment as much as Dad and I do.
I can’t believe that you will be here in about 3 months! That is so soon. I have so much to do to get ready for you. Dad and I have cleaned out the scary room somewhat, but we don’t have a crib, car seat, etc. So I need to start getting all of that ready for you. Even though you’re not here yet, I love you so much and am so excited to be your mom. I am trying my best to be a better person so that when you are born into our family you can have the best situation possible. And hopefully in a year or so you and Dad and I can go to the temple and be sealed as an eternal family. But just know that in the meantime you are loved and I am excited for you to come! :)
