Mommy has been so busy at work. She's very sorry she hasn't gotten to write to you as much as she'd like, but that doesn't mean you aren't loved a TON!
You are 4 months old in there- 14 weeks. We're officially in the 2nd trimester, and past all of the scariness of miscarriages and nausea, even though you've been pretty nice to mommy on that front. Thanks for letting me work and feel pretty good most of the time, besides making me tired. But I want to make sure you get plenty of beauty rest.
This Saturday we find out if you're a boy or a girl. I cannot wait. Daddy insists your a boy. I can't tell, and to be honest I don't care. I just can't wait to spoil you and buy you tons of awesome clothes, and toys, and blankets, and get your nursery all set up. If you're a boy, I'm going to decorate it with puppies and sports balls with pale blue walls. If you're a girl, I want to do a Bambi theme with soft pinks and purples and greens and cremes. I'll work my tail off to make sure it's the best nursery ever with the coziest crib and pretty decorations for you to soak it all in.

We're inviting just our family over and our best friends. Grandma and Grampa Koehler will be there, and Auntie Jillian and her boyfriend Tim, and Uncle Danny and his girlfriend Brittany. Your great grandparents on Daddy's side are already down in Florida. Great Gramma and Grampa Mulac will be there, and they are bringing your Poppy. Gramma Logan will be coming with her boyfriend John. Auntie Kali can't come because she's at pharmacy school and working very hard in the hospital, but we're going to film it and send her a video. I know she's very sad she can't come, and she can't wait to spoil you either! And mommy's best friend who will be your Auntie Deena and Uncle Scott, who are pregnant with your first friend- Carli Keller, are going to be there too. Mommy got a ton of decorations and set them up two weeks in advance. That's how excited we are to have you and know if you're a boy or girl. I decorated it all "Trick or Treat, Blue or Pink?" with pumpkins and baby skeletons, and lots of candy and treats- Daddy has such a sweet tooth! I can't wait to find out with everyone. We are going to have the ultrasound tech put a boy pumpkin or a girl pumpkin in a box at the appointment, and we'll open it in front of everyone and all find out together. You'll be the first grandchild, you know, so this will be an extra special moment for everyone. I cannot wait- 3 more days!!!!!!

I'm not really showing yet, which is good because besides my boss (who is very nice) and my closest friends at work, I haven't told work yet. I can still wear all my clothes, so that's nice. Thanks for being a fit little one in there for me. So far I've gained about 6 pounds. Every day the scale varies between a few pounds, but the doctor says I'm right where I should be weight gain wise. Daddy says he can finally tell that my stomach is sticking out a bit more. I swear I've felt you flutter or flip around in there a few times. It's the most amazing feeling. Flutter and flip all you want, Little One. It's so reassuring to know that you're in there and alive and moving about. I like to think it means you're happy in there.

As far as cravings, I sometimes want buffalo wings, or oranges, and I still eat a breakfast sandwich every morning, so you might be a morning person, or maybe you just like breakfast sandwiches. I eat lots of salad with chicken with you too. And lots of fruit- apples, bananas, oranges, berries. You seem to like all of that.
I hope you're happy in there baby. I was reading in my baby book that you start to be able to hear around 18 weeks. I can't wait to start playing music for you (Daddy and I both love music) and sing to you. I'm sure Gramma Logan will want to sing to you too.
Grow big and strong in there, Little One. Take all the nutrients from me you can, and get as healthy as possible in there. And don't come out until you're ready. I love you so much, Little Pumpkin. Can't wait to find out if you're a he or a she.
Love you,
Mommy <3 xoxo
