twenty three weeks



dear baby:


* we are heading into our sixth month together and my body has begun to feel a bit cumbersome. and this is really just the beginning of the long haul. i wonder how on earth my skin and bones will stretch even more to accomodate you, my ever growing babe.


* i had two dreams this week about running for miles, getting sweaty, and feeling the "burn". much to my suprise, i miss that feeling. both dreams were so vivid and it felt glorious. i look forward to hitting the pavement with you soon enough.


* chocolate has officially taken on a new meaning in my life and i am comforted that i am not alone in this obsession. legend has it that ryan's dear granny had to have chocolate daily while with child, and i think its safe to say that i am eating a bit of chocolate every day. oh boy. or maybe i should say, "oh girl". either way its dangerous, but oh so delicious.


* this week also marked a change in your movement. it is suddenly much more frequent and much stronger-i suppose it should-you now weigh over a pound-as much as a large mango! instead of little flutters, sometimes it is like i can feel complete back flips. it is pretty neato.


* we love you, lil' mango baby.
