Sweet Paapu!
Gosh I love you kid! Can you believe you are 11 inches from head to rump & over a pound in weight now?!!? I can :) I love that I have the amazing blessing of carrying you, feeling you move & grow & growing with you!
Most folks around us are the "don't ask... don't tell" type of pregnant people. Especially since most folks around us probably think the white lady is just putting on some weight, next to no one has asked about you. But there are a few who do know, who are very excited & ask all the time! We already have your language tutors set up sweet baby! Our amazing language tutor, her family, Brad's friend, & our house helper already know they are to only speak our new language with you! They are so very excited too... because of course you should grow up learning it as well... so they say! :)
Sweet Baby your room is starting to come together! All the major players are now in place. Your wall decal is here, thanks to Chickfila! Really, several owners of different very yummy restaurants in America came to do a business leadership training here. A few even came from Arkansas! So that is a huge blessing in itself. We now have some paint to brighten up your dresser and the last of your canvasses are at the framer!
People talk about "nesting" when you are pregnant & expecting a new baby. I am starting to feel this urge but this is absolutely crazy to the people here. The very fact that you will have your own room & bed is ridiculous! The people who are in our home the most have come to expect that we, the whiteies, are different but the fact that you will not sleep in the same bed with us until your are 10 y/o is very surprising to our friends here. Our language tutor has 2 kids, ages 7 & 4, and they still sleep with her & her husband every night! This is just part of some of the things you will learn & experience growing up in South Asia.
We love you Paapu and are so excited to know that you are growing making your way more into our lives every day!
Grow well sweet baby-
I love you!
Your Momma
You are "blooming" you look beautiful. Can't wait to see pictures of the nursery.
