Fifteen Weeks

Violetta, your Mommy is tired this week! I haven't been sleeping well for a few weeks, and it is starting to catch up with me. I often wake up somewhere between 4 and 5 in the morning, and just can't get back to sleep, even though I don't need to get up for work until 7. I know this will all change when you arrive. Some people think that my sleep habits are changing now in preparation for getting up with you in the night. 

This week, you are the size of a naval orange, an apple or an avocado! Have I told you how much I love avocados? I hope that you love them too. I think it will probably one of the first solid foods that you will try when you are ready. 

You Daddy has been really busy working on our new deck. This week was all about digging giant holes in the yard for the foundations. We had a big bobcat with an auger come for a few hours on Saturday because the holes have to be 4 feet deep! I wonder if you will enjoy digging in the dirt someday?

Other than that, it's been a fairly uneventful week. We told your great-grandpa Louis about you. He was excited! He'll be 92 shortly after you arrive and we are really looking forward to you two meeting each other. 

Oh, and I almost forgot, I got to hear your heartbeat again this week too. Still a completely amazing sound!
