Hey there little one,
we've now had two official appointments with our midwives. At our first appointment we had an ultrasound done. I can't believe how small you are! You're so cute! Your dad held my hand while we watched you move on the screen. You're super active, you looked just a little gummy bear, dancing around. It made me think of the song "I'm a gummy bear." I'll have to play it for you sometime. It's a fun song :)

They said you look like you're growing well, and that we don't have any concerns so far. I've heard your heartbeat, too. It never ceases to amaze me what we can do these days. Your heart is so small, but they can still hear it, beating strong inside of me. I'm so glad you're doing well, because we just found out my dad, your grandpa, is not doing too well. He probably only has a few weeks left to live. I'm going to California as soon as summer school is over. I guess that'll be your first official plane ride. I wonder what you'll think of the feeling of taking off and landing. It's no big deal really.

You had your first Rangers' game a few weeks ago too. They played the Angels. Funny thing is, your Dad loves the Angels, and I love the Rangers. We keep arguing about which team you'll like better. Your Dad has a few friends that have promised to get you an Angels' onesie (baby clothes) so I guess we'll just have to get you one for the Rangers too. I'm sure whichever team you pick will be fine (because I know you'll pick the Rangers :P)

I had the chance to pay to have a blood test done that would tell me what your gender is sooner rather than later. I would like to know, but I can wait (the test was kind of expensive). I'll know in another month or so regardless. I guess that'll have to be soon enough. Your Dad and I do have a name picked if you're a boy. We like the sound of Kaiden Christopher, so I think we might go with that, but of course we'll change it if you're a little girl :). Looking forward to finding out.

Love,
Mom
