Dear Baby Dickinson,
You've been kicking my tail this week. I am so fatigued all the time. We are getting a whole lot done to the house, though. We don't have it ready to list yet, but there is a realtor who wants to go ahead and show it to one of her clients. It will show with the understanding that we don't have everything finished yet, but we will finish it before he takes possession if he wants it. I'm feeling pretty positive about it. I don't know if this guy will buy it, but somebody will.
The hardest thing for me right now, especially while trying to get so much done to the house, is not lifting heavy items. I'm so used to always lifting and carrying real heavy stuff. Everybody keeps getting on to me... especially Nana and Papa.
We get to go to the doctor again this Thursday. I've always disliked going to the doctor, but I look forward to it with you. I know we won't get to see you again, but I'm curious what they will do.
You are now the size of a green olive. Isn't it crazy to think you could ever be that size?!? You're about 0.9 inches long and weight about 0.07 oz. You are officially considered a fetus now... You're no longer an embryo. You're devloping more distinct facial features. I can't wait to get to see that precious little face.
I Love You!!

8 Weeks
Dear Baby Dickinson,
You flew again today, and you did great! We had an awesome time in Malibu! It was so exciting to know we were carrying you around with us everywhere we went. We think about you ALL the time! We bought your first Pepperdine shirt. Someday you'll realize how cool that shirt is because it was bought when your Aunt Kerri was graduating with her PhD. That's a huge accomplishment, so that's why we all went out there for her graduation. We are so proud of her!
We did quite a few things with you in my belly while we were out there. We went to the Santa Monica Pier and ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, walked Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood, went to Pink's Hot Dogs, drove the coast, and just enjoyed sme time on campus hanging otu at Nucle Zac and Aunt Kerri's house. We tried to go to Disneyland one day, but sweet Jaxon got sick on the way. We were all so sad for him because he loves Mickey Mouse so much.
I got a bump picture while standing in the bathroom at their house. I think my "bump" is more bloat than baby right now, but it's so funny to me.
You are the size of a raspberry right now... approximately 0.63 inches long and 0.04 oz. You're growing by about a millimeter each day. Although I can't feel it yet, you're moving your arms and legs like crazy. Your taste buds are starting to form, and your fingers and toes are only slightly webbed.
As for me, I'm still just really tired. As long as I eat about once an hour, though, I don't have to deal with too much nausea.
I Love You!!

7 Weeks * 1 Day
Dear Baby Dickinson,
Today, at the size of a blueberry, was your first ever flight. You did great! I opted out of the x-ray while going through security screenings because I just didn't want to take any chances with you. But they did a pat-down and it was all good. We flew from Little Rock to Dallas, and then from Dallas to Los Angeles. Nana, Papa, Nucle Jeremy, Aunt Tara, Jax, and Aunt Kerri picked us up (Nucle Zac was working). We went to their house (awesome house on Pepperdine campus with a beautiful view of the ocean) and rested while some fixed supper. Nucle Zac got home from work, so we decided it was a good time to spill the beans. We let Jax do it again with his shirt. Nucle Jeremy took the best ever picture capturing their reaction. They were SO excited!! It was really fun! Everybody loves you already!
I Love You!!

Dear Baby Dickinson,
It's Mother's Day! The last two Mother's Days have been sad for me because I longed so much for you. Today was so awesome, though! Daddy gave me flowers, a sweet card, and an Under Armor aerobic outfit. After church we took Nana, Papa, Nucle Jeremy, Aunt Tara, and Jaxon to the airport, then we went up to MawMaw and Dandy's in Newport. We gave MawMaw a Mother's Day gift similar to the picture frame we gave Nana & Papa. They all congratulated us.
We had our pictures made outside in MawMaw's campaign shirts (she's running for her third and last term as state representative) and then hung out outside for a bit. I got sick again and had to run in and throw up. If it means I get to have you, though, I'll take it!! :-)
I Love You!!

6 Weeks * 6 Days
Dear Baby Dickinson,
You taught me my lesson today: Always keep food handy! Apparently I need to eat at least once an hour. If I don't I get sick. Today we were at Aunt Tara's graduation and I started getting hungry. I checked my purse and didn't have anything to eat. Suddenly I was so hungry and weak that I thought I would vomit. Your Papa is ALWAYS prepared for EVERYTHING, so I asked him if he had food. He went to his car and came back with a granola bar to save the day. Lesson Learned!
We went to eat at a pizza place in Jonesboro after graduation to celebrate Aunt Tara. Daddy and Jax were so cute together.
I Love You!!

6 Weeks * 5 Days (based on the new due date)
Dear Baby Dickinson,
I forgot to mention yesterday that they changed your due date to December 30th, which seems more accurate to me. We told Nucle Jeremy, Aunt Tara, and Jaxon today. They are so excited! They have been praying hard for you to be created. We put a shirt on Jax that said I'm the Big Cousin...

... Then he walked into the room where Aunt Tara was and told her to look at his shirt. Her reaction was cute.
Nucle Jeremy was in bed sick, so we had Jax go show him the shirt, too. He was excited and responded with as much excitement as he could considering his horrible headache.
Nana, Papa, Aunt Tara, Jaxon, Daddy, and I (and, of course, you) went to eat at Red Goose Deli afterward. Tomorrow is Aunt Tara's graduation.
I Love You!!

6 Weeks * 5 Days
Dear Baby Dickinson,
We got to see you today. You are so tiny that it's hard to see you. You're somewhere between the size of a grain of rice and a blueberry, so you aren't that easy to spot. The best thing, though, was that we got to hear your heartbeat. It was 119 beats per minute. Your daddy and I both cried with joy. We were so elated it made the nurse cry. We can't even begin to tell you how excited we are. They say you look healthy and that we're safe to fly, so we'll be leaving Monday for California. First we're going to tell Nucle Jeremy, Aunt Tara, Jaxon, and all of Daddy's family about you.
I Love You!!
