Apple Update - Week 16

Little Apple,

You are now the size of an avocado and things are really starting to turn around for us!  Mommy is 100% certain she is gaining the necessary weight (yahoo) because I am able to eat every few hours and our visits to the bathroom have all but stopped.  I'm still not able to eat the best foods for us but if you are anything like your big brother I know in about a week or two it will be all fruit and veggies for us for a while.

We did some testing to check on your health and everything came back GREAT.  Your Daddy and I were so thankful.  We were also very thankful to our friend Sarah who kept your big brother for us while we did the testing because it took a few hours and he would have gotten so bored at the doctors office for that long.

The good thing about the testing was that we got to see you!

Just one more round of blood work next week and I will feel good in knowing that you are as healthy as we can determine at this stage and we can focus on getting some healthy food choices in.

Two of your future playmates were both this past week.  Lachlan and Evelyn.  They are the younger siblings to Conor's friends (Neve and Adelle).  I am so happy that you and he will both have friends to play with at playdates now!

This past week the last of your immediate family found out about you and Mommy started telling people at her work because her schedule for October is starting to be made.  I can't believe that it has come time to start sharing the news already but time moves fast around here.

In two weeks we find out your sex and then the real bonding and fun can begin!

Love you little Apple!

Yaaaayyyyy! We are SO happy for you! You are both amazing parents. I am especially glad that Josh changed his thinking about the one child thing. More is definitely better! Congratulations!
