Well, Grace and I went over to check on you today, Lilly, and you ARE getting big!!! Jamie is definitely in her 3^rd trimester now, and she looks just amazing. You are so big now that when you move she can tell what part of you she is feeling. The other great news is that if you were born today you would have a viability rate of 88%! Amazing!!! Keep on growing though in your wonderful, safe, and cozy home… We will meet you soon enough!

Grace was also super excited to see how big you are. She immediately gave you a kiss and told you that she loved you. It was really adorable. Jamie said that she just loves seeing Grace’s excitement over you. It really is something to behold!

Jamie has told me many, many times lately how very glad she is that we all decided to go down this road less traveled. She loves making a difference, she loves the conversations she gets to have about you and her decision to do this and she loves the example that she is setting for her own four children. What a role model she is!

Grace told me today (while we were in the car on the way to Jamie’s house) that when she grows up she wants to help people have babies. I’m not sure if she meant by being a doctor (either OB or infertility) or by carrying a baby for someone else. Either way, I would be VERY proud!!! I hope that each of you do something that makes this world a better place than you found it. If you are a great Mom, that is good enough for me! Just be your very best at whatever you do, OK?

That’s it for now… Grandma Marin is here and your Daddy is taking me on a date!

Xoxoxoxoxoxo,

Your Mom
