January 4, 2016

Dear Nugget,

Today was a good day. After weeks of worry about whether or not you were okay, Dad and I got to see your cute little self. Your little heart was beating at 174 beats per minute, which the doc said was just perfect. You were all curled up in there and for the first time I realized that this is really happening. We are bringing a new little life into this world and mama couldn't be happier! Based on your size of just over one inch, our due date has been declared as August 6, 2016. We're not sure yet what your actual birthday is, but we now have an official due date. So glad that you'll be arriving just before it gets hotter than hell. We'll be spending some quality time inside after you arrive!

I have to admit that I was SO relieved to see that you didn't have company in there! Holy shit were Mom and Dad both a little worried about THAT possibility. Okay, A LOT worried. Your grandma is a twin and mom is old, so the odds of having two babies go up. I'm pretty sure that I will be able to handle one little baby, but two would have been a stretch.

Hopefully, I'll be able to sleep better tonight now that I saw your little heart fluttering. What I really want is a big fat glass of wine, but looks like it's going to be Ginger Ale for this girl.

I'm so happy that you're okay, kiddo. So far, so good.

Love,
Mom
