How to Grow (and Raise) an Alien...or Two

Hello Little Tadpole,

Up to this point, I've been feeling pretty good. I've gotten a little nauseated and tired in the afternoons, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. Then I woke up this morning. Ugh. I got out of bed to wake up your big sister and it hit. I have morning sickness. To be honest, it makes me feel better having it. It's normal...it means that something is going on in there.

Everyone is already asking me if I want a boy or a girl. The first time I was pregnant, I really wanted a girl and I got her. Now it really doesn't matter. I'd be so happy either way. If you're a girl, Ainsley would have a sister to play with. This would be awesome, and I speak from experience. I would also have less shopping to do, because we already have tons of girlie clothes - some still with tags. If you're a boy, I'd have one of each. A nice little balanced family. As much as your daddy loves playing with Ainsley, I know that he'd have a blast with a little boy around. I don't have any boy clothes, but I guess you could wear dresses for a while. You won't know the difference.

I'm feeding you oatmeal right now. Hope you're enjoying it.

Love,
Mommy
