dear baby.

Dear Baby C, Today you are 25 weeks! Just about 15 more to go... You weight about 1 1/2 pounds, you are 13 1/2 inches long, and I can feel you wiggling around now! We're starting to think more about how we want your room to look and we've started moving some furniture around to try to make room for you and all the stuff you need to be comfy. It's so fun daydreaming about it and I so wish I could paint the room for you!

Every year I wonder how so many people fit in that state during the month of March. It's like every college student and elderly person I've ever met. Not to mention, all the people that actually live there!!  So anyway, who knows what we'll be doing here in empty Wisconsin, but...

dear baby.

Dear Baby C, You are 23 weeks old today.  I'm still very amazed that you're living inside of me. When I learn about how you're growing, I think about how incredible our God is, but sometimes I honestly think the whole thing is pretty strange. I'm so happy about you though.At this point, I'm told that you're already starting to look like a miniature newborn. That your lips, eyelids and eyebrows are becoming...
