Fourteen Weeks

My little Violetta, this week you are the size of a lemon, and I am by all accounts in the second trimester of this pregnancy! Wow! It still seems to surreal, until I look through all these photos I've been taking each week. Because I can't feel you yet, see how you are making my belly expand week after week is really the only sign I have of your existence. 

This week was all about telling people that you are on the way. I had my friend J9 announce it for me during our weekly staff meeting. She told everyone that we had another staff member joining us, and then pointed at my belly. Daddy told his coworkers in his weekly staff meeting as well. We also told a bunch of our friends on Saturday night at an impromptu BBQ that they are going to be Aunts & Uncles. Everyone has been so excited for us, and to know more about you. I have to tell everyone that we have to wait about another month to find out if you are a Violetta or a Luigi. 

Daddy and I spent a lot of time outside this weekend (thus the wardrobe change from previous weekly photos, my jeans were in the laundry!) We are building a deck this spring, and Daddy was a machine, tearing down the old rickety porch and stairs, and doing a lot of digging to prepare for the foundations. I mostly kept him company, did a little gardening, polished my toenails, and napped in the hammock. Important things, right? But, I've still been really tired, so the rest and fresh air was really nice. 

Not too much else to tell you, little one. I have an appointment with the OB on Thursday and I will be eagerly awaiting hearing the sound of your beating heart.

Go check it out, it's my best yet, if I can be vain for a minute!
