Dear Baby,
The seeds that I planted have begun to erupt from the ground and they are looking so new and fresh! Peas grow faster than you and have only 60 days till maturity so I can eat them but I think that you are going to be a better gift than my peas. It was raining this morning when I woke up and John opened the window so I could hear the birds and the rain and it was a beautiful start to the morning. I know you will love the rain as much as I do once you realize the importance of it both for the planet and for the cleansing of ones soul. I am not myself these two days and I hope to come back as soon as I can. Mom is having a hard time coping with feeling she is not contributing to the household in a way that is meaningful to her.That, and the fact that your mom tends to dwell in sadness sometimes, is making her less than presentable to the outside world. But, I was singing to you yesterday and I was trying my best to remain peaceful inside. I hope you are not sad with me as that would likely make it worse for me. Not that I blame you, it would be hard to not take feelings from me as I am your source of nourishment. I will try and do better. I hope you are warm and enjoy these fake potatoes more than you enjoyed the sandwich and juice from this morning. Let me know if I can get you anything else. Love Dear Baby,
On Wednesday I was able to see you for the first time through the pee in my bladder. Yes, the waves that rippled through my pee made it clear that you were there in an ultrasound and you were waving at me, and kicking and squirming like it was a dance party! I was overjoyed to see you there and although at the time I didn’t show it, was so elated that there was only one of you! I would have started to cry if there were two. According to the technician you are 10 weeks 5 days old and you are due to pop out of my belly on January 4th, 2013. A new year's baby! It would be cool if you came early and were the first baby born on new year's but I won’t hate you if you aren’t. You have two arms and two legs (which I was glad for) and your head is oversized at present as you are developing the massive brain you are going to have as a result of being the child of me and your dad. I saw your heart beating and I can see that it is so little and delicate but alive and kicking! Baby, we now have some Koi fish as part of our family. Two dogs, and three koi fish. I have a feeling you are going to name the fish when you come as John does not seem to want to name them. I think whatever name you give them will be cute! We also took some ‘Ikea’ kids furniture off the side of the road today to use as a playset for you. Yes, your parents do ‘recycle’ things from other people but when you get this set it will be beautiful and representative of you and your family, more so than new furniture ever would! Your mom is also looking forward to the second trimester with you as she is hoping desperately that you like food and smells more during that time. Right now the overwhelming urge to feed you or to dispel of food when you don’t like it is getting to her and she would like to eat in peace for a while as you continue to grow strong. And eat some food with a semblance of flavour. I hope that my uterus is keeping you warm and that life in a bubble is treating you well. I will continue to talk to you and send you positive vibes through my subconscious. Love Mom  Dear Baby,
I haven't been connected to the internet in a while so I haven't been able to write to you but I have been thinking of what to write for quite some time. Lots has happened since we spoke last and our life is moving at a very fast pace. I hope you know that our life isn't going to be easy but it is going to be a blast! So we packed and moved all our stuff to Ottawa. Today we are going to receive our things and move into our new home. The drive up to Ottawa you and I both didn't like much as I was feeling terrible the whole time. Eating on the road is not something that my stomach enjoys and it was rather disastrous. At one point John didn't let me eat when I needed to and well, lets just say that he learned that it is best to get me food when I need it. The dogs were pretty stressed the whole time. Your mom is full of Rory and merlin droll and really has a distinct odor (ode de chien). The joys of a small vehicle I must say. We are now staying in a bed and breakfast that is rather quaint in Ottawa, and this was our last night! Tomorrow night we sleep in our new house! I was able to meet some of the neighbours yesterday as we went through the house. We have neighbours who love opera and who tend to be of retirement age. John is not so excited about this but to me I will fit right in! Your mom has more older person qualities than younger I am afraid and as a result, the opera music and the quite nature of our new home will be best suited for her! There is a walking park that we go to that is just around the bend. Both John and I and the dogs went there yesterday and it looks like a beautiful wooded area that will suite the dogs and me just fine. Lots of places to explore and when you come along, lots of places to see new and exciting animals! John has a cold right now and it is making it hard to sleep. He doesn't quite understand the concept of covering his mouth so his coughs radiate through out the room and likely throughout the bed and breakfast. When you get your first cold I will teach you cold manners so excessive coughing will not be a problem your spouse has in the future. You have been really calm in there for the last little bit. I don't really feel you at all, but every time I eat I am reminded of you. It is unfortunate that at this stage you are not a fan of spicy food because your mom loves spicy food and is having a hard time adjusting to the bland food. Maybe someday you will enjoy something with a bit more flavour. Well, loving you dearly and hope you are doing well growing in my tummy. I will continue to rub where you are in hopes you can feel it.
