23 weeks

Hey Ig,

We are 23 weeks Iggy boo. It's been a roller coaster of a week but nonetheless good. I find myself sometimes getting into a rut of sorts missing friends and feeling like being pregnant means you can't do a lot of things. I took a leap of faith though and was vulnerable about this and with the help of Daddy decided that's a choice of mine and I don't have to feel that way. I'm sorry if you have felt my loneliness at times or felt like I was sad. I wish I could only be happy all of the time so that in some sort of care-bear stare way you will innately always be happy. Unfortunately life does not work that way but that's ok. I guess I have to remember Jesus wasn't always happy but he had faith everything was ok and His Father was taking care of Him.

This week you met baby Kai and loved him I might add. I feel you will be great friends. This summer you'll also meet Lincoln and Wilson, they're your cousins, sort of, not really but sure you're cousins. It's weird to think I'm planning out your friendships. Hmm, sorry. Be friends with whomever you want! That sounds a little crazy in itself. We'll have the friend talk when you're older. Friends are great = ) I have some of the most amazing friends. One of my best friends, Jenny, will be getting married this November. We are going dress shopping Saturday. Brace yourself love, I'm very good at this bridal gown shopping event. It used to be my specialty, trade (what not).

You are kicking so much now. I'm so glad your daddy can feel you kick. This morning he introduced you to Hillsong (what we listen to in the car a lot) and you kicked so much. I think it made him really happy to feel you reacting to the music. Daddy is an amazing musician. God has blessed him with the gift to sing well and play multiple instruments. Hopefully he'll play for you a lot.

Well bugger I fell in love with you even more this week. I'm so happy for us. I'm not sure what the next year holds for us but I know it's full of great things. I'll leave you with this verse, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5. Through your dad I was really reminded of this verse this week. I love you Iggy so so so much.

Love,

Your Mum
