Second Trimester

Dear Little One,

We need to talk. It's officially the second trimester, and in case you haven't heard, the morning sickness is supposed to stop by now! :-) Mine has always gone from week 7 to week 14, but this time around we're in to week 15 and it seems to be getting worse. I have another doctor appointment next week, so I might just have to break down and finally ask for some anti-nausea medicine. Of course, I know that it is all worth it in the end, and being sick is just a small price to pay for the huge, huge blessing of being your mommy, but still...

You know, I was thinking. Both of your brothers have such distinct and different personalities, I cannot wait to see what yours will be! It is so amazing how God has created billions of people and each one is still unique. You'd think He'd run out of ideas by now! But He doesn't. Instead He molds us and shapes us stitch by stitch and trait by trait, and never duplicates His work.

I'd love to write more right now, but your brother, Canaan, is playing cars along my arms, so it makes for difficult typing! But know that I'm thinking about you all the time! We still have a ways to go, but already you're a part of our family and all of us just can't wait to meet you and have you here with us!

Love, Mommy
