(Those two little dots are the top of my head and the bottom of my bottom)
This week Mama and Daddy took me to get my first pictures taken...aren't I cute? Mama says I look like a blob, but she is going to call me sweet pea, which is a nice word for blob. Mama and Daddy got to ask the doctor lots of questions and he says I am growing right on schedule. They got to hear my heart beat too, and Mama says that was so exciting.
In 2 weeks we are going to fly in a plane to go to Illinois. Mama talks about it all the time, so I am excited to go there. She says that we will finally get to tell all of our family about me, and she thinks they will be so happy. She is having a hard time waiting to tell them. I don't know how long 2 weeks is but it seems like it is a long time. Mama is making an Easter present to tell everyone I am coming, so that will give us something to do while we wait.
Daddy says we have to tell someone about me because the waiting is so hard, so later tonight we are going to take a present to my new friend Emsley. Baby Emsley is coming in June, but Mama says we will still be great friends. We are going to give Uncle Jake and Aunt Maddie a present for Emsley so that she knows I'm coming and I want to play with her.
Mama says she can definitely tell I am here now. She is sore in some places and she says her tummy is upset. I don't know why it is angry at me, I try to be very nice. Mostly Mama is eating a lot of crackers and ginger ale and sleeping a lot. Daddy laughs at her because sometimes she is going to bed right after the sun goes down.
Today we listened to one of our favorite worship songs, and we talked about how God is making each piece of me. All of my tiny parts are being built just right, one by one. Soon I will have lungs too and be able to breathe. Mama says that everything with breath gets to give God praise. She says for now she will praise Him for both of us. Mama says He is always bringing light and hope into our world...and even though I'm tiny and secret she says I am part of the light in our house right now. We are so thankful that He put us together.
You give life
You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope
You restore every heart that is broken
Great are you Lord
All the earth will shout your praise
Our hearts will cry these bones will sing
Great are you Lord
