April 4th and SNOW!

Hi Baby Freddy,

Well you woke up to lots of new fallen snow on the ground. You see your Mommy and Daddy picked a state for you to live in with lots and lots and lots of snow. The movie Frozen (someday Mom will make you watch it with her. Please don't mind all her bad singing) is actually called Minnesota! The lakes freeze, the wind blows and the snow falls in inches, sometimes feet.  But soon it will be Spring and Daddy won't have to snow blow the driveway anymore (yet another thing you'll learn about as you get older). Mommy's only complaint is that all her "winter" clothes don't fit and she refuses to buy new winter clothes. If it doesn't get nice out soon you'll be able to see the bottom half of her belly hanging out. Not a good look!



Other things have been going on as well. You are now 19 weeks! They say you're the size of a heirloom tomato. You're 6 inches from head to toe! Can you believe it! Almost an entire foot. You are growing each week. Mommy still can't feel you kick, Daddy said it's a good thing because if you're anything like Mommy you'll be kicking all the time! 

Mommy got pretty sick last Monday (March 24th). She woke up at 1:00 am with some really bad morning sickness. It was very odd because during your first 12 weeks she wasn't really sick at all. Mommy was sick from 1-11 am. So your wonderful, amazing Daddy brought her to the Urgency Room. She had gotten too dehydrated and needed some fluids. Mommy even had the nurses check your heartbeat just to make sure you were doing good. 165! Your little heart sure beats fast. The nurse also said you were kicking and moving around in there quite a bit. But that you were strong and healthy.  Mommy was so happy to hear this she started to cry (take note: your Mommy and Daddy are both criers).  After about 4 hours Mommy was feeling much better and they let her go home.  She did however take the next day off to really recover.

Daddy has been working hard in the bathroom. And it's coming along quite nicely. He asked Mommy to pick out some paint colors. So the painting will take place soon.  



Mommy has been working on your Gender Reveal Party. She has been making pink and blue poofs and a few other things. Auntie Sara has been a big help as well and is really good at crafting. Someday you'll get to craft with her.  



Mommy is still skating lots! She's doesn't want to give it up when she gets bigger but knows that it's for the safety of you! 

Auntie Ali turned 18 last month also! Mommy can't believe she's 18 years old.  She remembers the day she was born.  Your Auntie Ali has a very big heart and loves you dearly.  You will be her first niece or nephew!  She can't wait to meet you! 

Daddy and Mommy love you very much! Only 2 weeks until we find out just what you are! 

Love you Baby Freddy!

Daddy & Mommy
