Week 7
Dear Munchkin,
You kinda freaked me out this week, hon. I forget now if it was Monday or Tuesday, but I woke up feeling JUST FINE for the first time in a little more than two weeks. Very little fatigue, tummy was quiet and happy, and I was actually HUNGRY for things. Being me, I immediately started to worry. What if something was wrong? What if you passed, and I was going to lose you?
Thankfully (?), I started feeling like doo-doo the next day. I ended up having two and a half good days this past week, so now I know to just be grateful when I do feel halfway human.
Looks like I'm well on my way to a Ph.D. in worrying! Studying at your grandmother's feet has given me a headstart in the worrying all parents go through.
Your big cousin Cora turns three today; we went to her birthday party yesterday. Six young'un's, 3 and under, running around screaming. I was too sick and tired to really enjoy it, but we did have fun playing with the Dora Playdoh set your dad and I got for her. Grandma and Papaw E tickled me this week, when they told your dad, "Tell Christi we're thinking about her every day. Oh, and you too." He's an afterthought, the poor guy!
According to the intertubes, this week your liver started making red blood cells, and your appendix and pancreas have formed. Your brain has formed its two hemispheres, and this week it'll start building its neural pathways. Your eyes already have some color, and you're somewhere between the size of a blueberry and a kidney bean. Who'd've thunk such a little munchkin could throw Mama's body into such turmoil?
Hugs and kisses,
Mama
