I mean--born! But, this week, you're the size of an ear of corn! And also a cantaloupe? But I'm not asking questions. As long as you're healthy and on your way!
You've been brewing in my belly for six months! It's so crazy to believe; it feels like you've always been here and like we've always been waiting for you. I wake up grateful, every day. This week, you're kicking up a storm as your spine strengthens (you have 1,000 ligaments, 150 joints, and 33 vertebrae in there), your blood vessels are developing inside your lungs, to ensure you breathe beautifully, earthside and your hair and skin are beginning to pigment. You're nearly two pounds of pure love and Mama's started nesting this week: We ordered a bigger couch for the living room, for more couch cuddles and for all the people who are going to come meet you to sit, and feng shui'ed the downstairs office into an office/parlor hybrid. We can't wait to read you stories in here and to look up at the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling! Your month 6 appointment was this week and you were playing hide-and-seek behind the placenta--but I wasn't worried. You're a jokester. This week was a little scary for me, as I started to think about how much about pregnancy is absolutely unknown. Me, the control freak I am, really likes to feel like I can plan for things--I mean, we planned so hard for you. But, even that, was fully out of my control. I've decided this is a great lesson for motherhood--and I just need to get onboard! We did our second half of the birthing class on Zoom and received a certificate in the mail! I put it into your baby book, like your Bubbe put into mine! We will chronical the story of you, so that you never forget, even for a moment, how cherished you are. This week was also Valentines Day! The last one before you're earthside was spent cooking dinner together and holding hands on a long walk. Your daddy and I exchanged cards and cuddled a little extra long in the morning (a perfect day, to me)! Happy Valentines Day, baby. Happy 6 months. Happy, happy, almost here.
