12 Weeks.

My dearest Jellybean,

This week marks 12 weeks since you began setting up house in my belly.  Your bodily structures are already fully formed.  You are about the size of a large plum, measuring about 2.5 inches long.  Last week we heard your heart beat for the first time, I think mine skipped a beat.  We are so happy to know that you are doing well.  Your Daddy prays for you every night before we go to bed.  I'm not showing much yet, but I have put on a few pounds already.  I'm looking forward to having a "baby bump" here in a few weeks.

We have all been guessing if you will be a boy or a girl.  Most people think you are a boy, although we don't mind either way.  This week I took a silly test I bought at Walgreens that claims to predict gender.  The test also thinks you are a boy, but we'll have to wait until July 25th to know for sure.

Continue growing and making yourself at home, we'll be here anxiously awaiting your arrival.

Love,
Mom
