Boy oh boy

Dear Evan –

Yesterday your Dad and I got to see you again during an ultrasound.  It’s amazing how much you have grown in a month.  You used to just take up a little bit of the screen and now your profile takes up the whole thing.  The tech estimated that you weighed 2 lbs 4 oz already at 26 weeks.  Holy cow.  You are going to be a big turkey.  I should have anticipated since I’ve already gained 30 lbs…  😐  As long as you promise to go on long walks with me and I’ll wear those get-your-butt-in-shape shoes, let Mommy know what you want to eat and I’ll get it for you.  I’m worried you are going to grow up too fast and you won’t be our sweet little boy for long.  But I also know that being bigger is good for you and your healing.

You’re doing a great job exercising lately.  And your saucy attitude while the tech was trying to look at you was priceless.  Hey man, if someone was invading my space I would tell them what’s what too.  Yet you’re so shy when we are trying to get a good look at you.  Hopefully we can be a touch more cooperative when we have our appointments at U of M.  They are the ones who are going to fix your heart and make you feel better.  I’m so looking forward to seeing you again.   In the meantime, keep letting me know you are here. 🙂

Love,
Mommy
