Jude,
I remember when I first started looking up how big you were, and you were just the size of a blue berry. A tiny little blue berry, and now you are the size of an eggplant. You have eyes, a cute little nose, perfect lips, and even brain function/lungs. I can't believe how much you have grown, and how you are just growing inside of me. I love that I am that safe place for you right now. In ten to fourteen weeks it won't be that way anymore. It's a bit bittersweet for me because I would so love to be holding you and seeing your little face, but there is this part of me that wants to keep you safe forever. Right now you are safe, and I am really going to treasure this last bit of our journey together.

We went to the doctor this week, and like usual, she said you looked really good. You're even growing a little ahead. I can tell you are a big baby (If not chunky and long, at least long.) I can tell that you're long because you have really been moving and grooving in there, and at times I can feel you move at the same time at the very bottom of my tummy all the way up to my chest.

The girls from group threw us a baby shower this week too! It was amazing because we got some really big items for you, including a crib and stroller/car seat. Papa and I put together your crib, and now all we have left to do for your corner is get a mattress for your crib. We are almost ready for you!

Other than that, we are gearing up for all the holidays, and I couldn't be any more excited. The holidays will always remind me of you from now on because we entered into the end of this journey in the holidays.

I love you! See you in 10-11 weeks!

Love,
Mommy

Facebook status 28 weeks; Seems like Jude is growing upwards now instead of out, which has got him chillin' up into my chest already. Gah he seems like such a long baby! We went to the doctor, and again she said he looked really good. Also we were super blessed by all the girls in my bible study group. They threw us a shower which we received some pretty big items off our list including a crib and stroller/carseat. We got to put together the crib! Other than that, we are just gearing up for the holidays!
