Week 4
Dear Embryo,
From what I read you have been growing by leaps and bounds over the past month. You developed from a zygote to an embryo before I even knew y you had taken over my body. Your Aunt Tera calls you munchkin but I don’t call you anything. It is hard for me to think of you as anything but a cramp in my lower abdomen. You are the size of a popee seed and your heart should start beating any day now (or so they say…) Let me tell you what has been hard for me since I found out about you. Everyone says to try not to think about you to much because in the first 12 weeks of development it is likely you could not make it to a fetus…. Yet every time I lift something or over exert myself I am yelled and told “REMEMBER YOU ARE PREGNANT….”
So the first month has been great. When I walk through a store or hear a baby scream from the other room I fear you…. When I hold my niece (your cousin) I am elated with anticipation… When I wake up in the middle of the night and have only my thoughts, I worry for you…. I want to protect you and I know it’s not in my hands or yours right now.
Well I know you are busy developing major organs and all so I won’t keep you – but please grow strong and healthy and I will see you soon (but not to soon)
With Love,
Your Mother
