Love at first sight

Dear Minnow,
                Today was a windy, rainy, yucky day. The rain came down so hard this morning that I was late for school. I ran in and immediately felt sick to my stomach, apparently you have a strong dislike for preggo pop morning sickness candies. We had our first prenatal appointment today. Daddy was very nervous and asked lots of questions, it was very cute. He also decided to make mommy laugh all through her internal exam...not a good idea. Then we got to see you on the ultrasound. Right now you are just a little white line in the middle of my uterus. She printed out a picture of you for us to keep. The doctor thinks your due date is June 2, 2011 but we are going for another ultrasound next week to make sure. Mommy has to admit that she has been having anxiety attacks about loosing you. Miscarriages unfortunately happen all the time, and mommy is very scared that in an instant you could disappear. You have already changed my life little minnow. Please continue to grow safely.

           Love always,

Finding Out

Dear Minnow,
          Even though I have wanted you for so very long it still came as quite the shock to your daddy and I that in 9 months you would be gracing us with your presence. The doctors told us that it would take at least 3 months and yet after only a few weeks of trying we found ourselves staring down at two little pink lines.Your daddy has always called me his Goober Fish because I drink water like a fish, and last night laying in bed he dubbed you our little Minnow. Now here you are my little flax seed sized Minnow, making mommy's breasts ache and stomach turn with all day sickness, making me nap any chance I get. Sweet dreams my little Minnow, we can't wait to meet you.
       
             Love,
