The Whole 9 Yards

I just sent out your baby shower invitation today. Just writing your name on a card filled my heart with so much joy.

Let me tell you about this past week my love. Your dad’s family came to visit from Seattle. Your grandparents, aunt, and great grandpa spent time with us last weekend. We ate so much good korean food, and we even went to Target to start your registry! Your grandpa got us flowers while your grandma cooked us delicious food. You’re so loved Amelia. I always knew that my parents are going to be the best grandparents ever but now I know that your dad’s parents are also going to be the best grandparents! You are one lucky girl. Mommy had a great time getting to know your dad’s side. And you know what, you are the one who brought us together. You are still in mommy’s tummy yet you are already changing our lives for the better. You have already done great things my love. You are such blessing not just to me, but to everyone who loves you. I am overjoyed that you have an amazing family waiting for you here.

Last Tuesday, I went to the doctor with your grandma. She was so happy to hear your heartbeat, and she cannot wait to teach you how to play tennis! You know your dad’s a really good tennis player. If ever you decide to do sports, you’ll do great because your dad is an all around athlete. He swims too. I love your dad so much. It’s crazy. Anyway, my doctor said that you are about two pounds and you are growing at the right pace. The only problem is that my sugar level spiked, so mommy has to diet for a little while. I’ll do my best to fight the cravings. For you.

Your dad went back to work right away. We stayed in Yorba Linda on Thursday to do laundry and let your fur brothers run around the yard. Then on Friday, mommy and daddy had to go back to the doctor for my glucose test. Mommy almost passed out right after they drew blood for the first time, I had fasted 12 hours prior to our test, then we had to fast for another three while we were there. It’s okay though, their rapid response team took care of mommy and let me rest in the nurse’s station.

Today, daddy had work and your fur brother were acting crazy. Our home was also a mess which stressed mommy out. But I did grind it through cause I cleaned our kitchen and rearranged cupboards. After my bath, Popoy was just waiting for me so I spent time laying with him on the ground. It was a tiring day but a good night. Now mommy and daddy are in bed getting ready to sleep.

In more or less 11 weeks you will be in my arms. Wow. You will soon be my everyday.

Good night Amelia. I love you so much.
