Dear Brookelynn,
This week you have perfected some simple reflexes, such as, swallowing, sucking, and blinking. I think I have felt you have the hiccups a couple times this week and I seem to have them quite often these days.
You are 5.1 inches, the size of an onion and weigh 5.9 ounces, though you are starting to form fat underneath your skin and will continue to do so later on. The fat will help you adjust to temperature changes when you are in the world and no longer in the comfort of Mommy's tummy.
As for Mommy, I have officially gained one pound but my belly is not consistently showing every day and people still have not noticed my baby bump. I am, however, beginning to feel round ligament pains which are caused by the continuous increase in size of the uterus as it pushes on my intestines moving them upward.
I am still nauseated and have gotten sick a few times this week. I keep hoping it will get better. I just need to make it through the last four days of work I have.
Glammy and Mommy put your room together this week. It is so perfect. We just need to pick up a few more decorations before we have the big reveal.
Glammy is still going crazy with the shopping too.
Grandpa has come up with yet another name. He thinks you will say Grandpa as GeeGee now and has been mimicking how you will talk to him. He is obviously excited. He can't wait for the tea parties to be had.
Finally, I had my first baby shower today. Cathy, my boss threw one for ally friends and co-workers. It was a lot of fun. She really out did herself. Christine was able to come too. She wrote a letter to you and Mommy and it made me cry. She is a great friend.
Here is to one more week of work till mommy is a Domestic Engineer at Stay-at-Home-Mom. Let's make it a healthy one. -XOX!
