Dear Alee,
I think this is super exciting because I like the idea of a mini you running around this world. This is a huge, life-changing event, and I want you to know I 100 percent support you. And don't ever forget that you've got this. If you are wondering what kind of mother you will be, I already know you will be a great one. You have a big, compassionate heart (probably the biggest heart of anyone I know); that baby is lucky to have you for a mother.
People find different ways of happiness, and I am glad you found yours. Having a baby is going to be a terrifying yet wonderful thing for you. You don't have to be afraid (even though I know you will be); you have a lot of people who care about you and will always be willing to help. There will be rough days ahead. Just remind yourself that you're doing a fabulous job.
Pregnancy is more than just your boobs being sore and your tummy getting bigger. If you google any symptom between now and the next nine months, it is definitely a symptom of your pregnancy. Your hormones will hate you. I know plenty of women who cried over the ShamWow commercial when they were pregnant.
I already know you are going to upload tons of pregnancy and baby photos on Facebook, and I say go ahead; I won't get mad. In fact, I don't think you can upload enough. I don't know if I want kids, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but if you tell me your struggles, I will try my absolute best to understand your problems and be patient. And, more importantly, try to fix them. I am still so excited you are pregnant and couldn't be happier for you!
I just looked up how big your baby is and how much the baby weighs. Here's a quick note to your baby, even though your baby can't read, and I am not sure what to call your baby, so I will just call your baby Sultana because that's how big the baby is.
Dear Sultana, as your body grows, your earlobes are now visible. Your heart is dividing into four chambers, and your essential body parts are kicking into gear. Your eyelids are closed and won't open until week 26. You are still very tiny, and we wont be able to tell if you're a boy or girl for another few weeks. You are so lucky to have your mom. She is so compassionate and might be a literal angel. Even though you can't read, welcome to the world, Sultana.
