Dear Sprout,

There has been a lot going on these past couple of weeks.  About a week and a half ago, your daddy and I went back to the doctor to make sure that you and I were doing okay.  Everything went great, and Daddy and I got to hear your heartbeat.  It made me so happy to be able to hear that you are doing well and growing strong!


This last week we went on our annual family beach trip.  I can’t wait until next year when you get to join us.  I can’t wait for naps on the beach, splashing in the water, and digging in the sand (although you’ll still be too small for some of that next year.)  Everyone else is excited for you be there too.  Your grandpa is excited about having someone else to dig his world famous holes for and build sandcastles with.  And I am sure that next year your Uncle Travi will ask for your help in talking to the ladies.


There is still a lot to do before next year though.  It is time to start getting ready for your arrival.  I feel like there is so much to do, but it is going to be so much fun!


Keep growing healthy and strong little sprout!  I love you lots!


Love, 
Mommy
