Newsletter Week 10

Dear Little One,

You are now 8 weeks old, quite an accomplishment if I don't say so myself.  You have arms and legs and you're developing very quickly.  I've been trying to eat well for you lately but my stamina is is losing steam.  I want pizza, hamburgers, steak and Taco Bell.  I'm craving all sorts of crazy things, mostly your Grandma's chinese cooking though.  Yesterday, we went to see her and she fed me very well.  I hope you grow to love asian food.  The last thing I want is for you to be a finicky eater; food is so good and there's so much for you to enjoy. 

We've told everyone about you now so you better not disappoint.  Everyone is so excited about you coming.  You have so many people that love on you already.  When I told Ms. Debbie, she jumped up and down! 

Your daddy has been so great about taking care of the both of us.  You're gonna love him so very much.  You already received some Christmas gifts, your first lion (although it looks like a pregnant lion to me) from your Uncle Jay and Aunt Laura and some clothes from Grandma Lyons. 

The holidays were great but now it's time to go back to work soon.  We also went to a very sad funeral but it reminded me that God is giver and taker of life.  I'm so thankful for you Little One, you've already brought us joy in so many ways but most of all I give thanks to the Father for allowing us to be your parents.  I try to remember to pray for you often, for your health and such but most of all for your salvation. 

Sleep soundly my love as you grow grow grow! 

Love,
Mama
