Hey Kiddo,
Today is Monday, November 27,2006. Today is a week later since we got to see you. Your Mommy had another girlie doctor appointment last Monday. It was a good visit. The nice lady that operates the ultrasound machine let us see you again. Guess what, now we have video of you. Your mommy and I were able to see you move around and see kinda what you look like so far. Your Mommy loves McCallisters Deli and thought it would be nice to eat lunch there before the girlie doc visit. Well that was cool because it was good food. Your Mommy drank some sweet tea. Let me rephrase that.... a lot of sweet tea. At the appointment, the doc listened to your heartbeat. It was 160!!!! You are loving the sweet tea huh? I always get teary eyed when I think about you!!! God put you in a special place in my heart and mind. I am so ready to see you and get to know you. Yesterday, the pastor at church said that when you find a person's treasure, you find their heart, and when you find their heart, then you see God in that person. Well Brody or Trinity, you are my treasure. The way I feel about you, my unborn child, is so rich and so pure that I honestly believe that is the same way God feels about me and everyone. I love you kiddo and I am so looking forward to holding you.

Love,
Your Daddy!!!

Dear Brody or Trinity,

It seems that the more that happens during the beginning of your life, the more I have to write about. Today is Veteran's Day and your mommy went to church this morning. Daddy was snoozing away in the bed. Well, it is a habit for your mommy and I to call each other on the way home from wherever we are. Today your mommy called me at home. I asked her if she was hungry, the answer of course was YES. I asked her what she wanted to eat for lunch. Here is where the story begins....... Her answer was " Well, the pastor said that we needed to put an X on the calendar because of Veteran's Day. I thought he said eggs. So all during church I have been craving an egg sandwhich"...... Well kiddo what mommy wants mommy gets. She came home and fixed a 3 egg, egg sandwhich with cheese. Just so you know... your mommy normally only cooks 2 eggs for her sandwhich but today your daddy messed with her while she was putting blck pepper in her eggs and it was a lot, so she added another egg. I made me a glass of chocolate milk and your mommy drank a lot of it and said " your baby is hungry." So now I have learned that now it is whatever baby wants, mommy gets. I hope you enjoyed that egg sandwhich and chocolate milk... Love ya kiddo!!!

Love, Daddy :)

Hey Brody or Trinity.
Here is what your mommy sent to me about you.
Your baby is about one inch from crown to rump - or roughly the size of a strawberry. Weighing in at one gram, your baby is very active, although you can't feel its movements yet. He or she now has all the major organs, muscles, and nerves; and a Doppler may be able to identify the heartbeat. While his or her testes or ovaries are formed, the external genitalia still appear sexless, which is why it is too early for an ultrasound to reveal its gender. Eyelids are beginning to form and the trunk is straightening and elongating, cartilage and bones are forming, the basic structures of the eyes are in place, and the tongue is beginning to develop. The fingers and thumb are visible, albeit short and webbed.

Wow you went from peanut to strawberry in a couple of weeks. How cool is that? Now we just need to make sure that no one calls you their little strawberry. I hope that you are doing well inside your mommy's belly. Dont ever let anyone tell you that your mommy poo-poo'd you out. I will let you in on a secret. My cousin Haley told me that i was poo-poo'd out of my mom, your grandma and I believed her. The sad part is that if this was true, then I was the whitest turd known to man. Your mommy and I think about you a lot. We are ready to know who you are. I know this much. God knows who you are already and formed you in his image. And you have a best friend that is with you at all times. His name is Jesus. He did a wonderful thing for us all. I will tell you more about him when you get here. I am sitting here trying to imagine what you are doing right now. hmmmm. still thinking...... ........ i could sit here for days and still be thinking about what you are doing. Are you swimming? peeing? poopin? listening to tv? Just curious thats all. I have so much to talk with you about and so many things to show you. I love you kiddo.

Love your Daddy!

Hey Brody or Trinity!
It's me again Dad.
I have some rather silly news to tell you about your Mommy. Tonight, lets see, you are 7 weeks and 4 days old and you are causing your Mommy to crave some weird combinations of food. Just look at what I found in the kitchen tonight!!! Yep Cranberry sauce and Macaroni and Cheese!!! Yummy!!!! Just kidding. I laughed big time. Your Mommy had a priceless deer in the headlight look when I asked her about it. All she could say to her defense was "I like Cranberry Sauce!" You really do have a cool Mommy that will feed you anything!!! Oh yeah, if you keep hearing the word peanut or the phrase "my little peanut, " just know that that is not me saying that but everyone else. Love you bunches my bundle of joy!!!! DADDY :)
