Our Ever,
Your hair color is a constant wondering around this house. Daddy and I both have redheaded moms, and your Auntie Kristi has a redheaded son, your cousin Jacob. So it's very possible that you, little miss, will have red hair. But...you could also easily have blonde, like Aunt Lura and I, or brown, like Daddy and his Daddy. Your eyes could be green like Aunt Kristi's or hazel like Daddy's and Ian's or blue like mine and your Lola and Dakota's. You could have the freckled sweep of cheeks that Aunt Kristi and I have or the clear fair skin of Aunt Lura. I don't know. But it's fun to guess. I can see your face. I cannot see the features, but it's like a close up- I can't see the detail but I can see what it important, the essence of you, what I will feel when I look into your face. Your nose may surprise me but your spirit will not, little girl. You weigh about 3 pounds now and I bet you are going to be about 21 inches like your brother and sister were, from how you manage your little feet up underneath my right rib cage while your tiny hands press into my low abdomen. Last night I ate dinner at Grandma Mary's and she fed me a cold veggie and bean salad on greens with chicken and homeade french fries and I ate it all and you kicked and kicked to show your delight. Then I took all my fish oils because your brain is in a big hurry growing right now. Today, I came home on lunch break and made out with your Daddy for a good half hour before rushing back, late to work. Totally worth it. You were very sweet and kept totally quiet the whole time. Thank you for that. :)
Love
Mommy
