21 weeks

Ignatius Von Leitner,

Hey Iggy man ; ) You are sitting nicely in the tum today. We are 21 weeks along, half way there. Different publications seem to say you are the size of a spaghetti squash, whatever that means. We've not really gotten into the typical pregnancy stuff that's been tossed at us. You'll soon learn that about most things with your dad and I. Hope you don't mind, seems to work for us ; ) For some odd reason I've been into Joel Osteen and cereal on Sunday mornings. He made a good point this past Sunday quoting Acts 20:24, "None of these things move me." "I will not make a big deal out of anything that is not a big deal today." Trying not to let my hormones get the best of me right now since they seem to be creeping back up and remembering this verse.

I got to see you again this last Tuesday ; ) Pops missed it he had to work. Doc Lindsay says we are doing great. So far I've gained 16 pounds with you which hasn't been super friendly to my back but we'll get through it. You are so worth every ache and pain right now. We can't wait to see you and hold you. I especially can't wait for you to meet your father. He is the most amazing man. You will think he is so fun, strong, hard working, loving, grateful, ingenious, creative, and loves you more than anything. He is such an amazing spiritual leader. He has so much to teach you and I pray you are as stubborn as him. Haha just kidding ; )

So far we've had a really smooth ride other than having to pee every hour on the hour, back aches, clothes not fitting, being over emotional, and craving the moon. We've not been sick and for the most part I've heard we've had it really easy. This week I'm just doing hair and working at Standard. Daddy is working really hard on our building, our home, and Huffts architecture. He thinks he's going to build you a crib as well, we'll just see about that. We also have to fix my jeep this week. Hopefully by time you get here we will have a new car.

We wanted you to have a strong name. Your dad loved Iggy, so we agreed on Ignatius and will call you Iggy. We've never met an Iggy. Your dad also thinks you will surf. You have my Paw Paw's middle name just spelt a little different. He drove me to your dad on our wedding day. We felt it fit nicely together. It's in your blood to create, to play and love music, to lead and to love others, and to create new roads. You are our blessing from God. We will do everything in our power to protect you and keep you from harm's way. We love you more than the number of stars in the sky.

Love,

Your Mommy
