Six months . . . . that's what remains of your developmental journey in my stomach and our lives as a child-less couple. Six Months.
Six months can seem like an eternity. It is the time it takes for Winter to turn to Summer. It is the time that teenagers patiently wait through between getting their permit and their license to drive. But, it can also seem incredibly short and when you are anticipating an event or the arrival of something (or someone) it can feel like not enough time. Not enough time to get a room ready, to get a pair of first time parents ready, to visit with friends who might live farther away, to adjust schedules, and realize that in a mere 183 days - life as we know it will be forever changed.
Six months can seem like not enough time when we realize that three months have already passed. However, we promised to take things day by day - Baby Steps I call them and by taking baby steps time will slow down (or at least we can pretend!).
In the last three months so much has happened. In three months we (1) learned we were pregnant (2) heard your heartbeat for the first time (3) saw you via an ultrasound and heard your heartbeat a second time. In three months you have grown from the size of poppyseed to the size of a lemon. You have developed from a little zygote (basically a cell) into a tiny human complete with finger and toenails.
Here you are at 13 weeks and 1 day:
See you in Six Months....
