Dear Baby,
I need to stop reading sad posts at www.thenest.com and www.thebump.com. Reading about women who go in for their first u/s only to find there is no heartbeat...women who suffer a missed m/c and have to undergo a D&E...women who continue to experience losses...is taking its toll on my positivity.
And you deserve better. I believe you feel what I am feeling, and you deserve to feel nothing but joy. So I may have to pass on seeing My Sister's Keeper for the next 8 months. I may have to eat more ice cream and watch more Jim Carrey movies. I may need to stop thinking ahead so much and take it one step at a time, celebrating each passing day I get to spend with you.
I can't predict the future. I have to trust that everything happens for a reason (it has been true for me so far!) and put my trust in God, my friends and family, and my own body's ability to stay strong and create this miracle.
Dear Baby, please hang in and hang on! I can't wait to meet you 8 months from now. Until then, I will do everything in my power to create a comfortable environment for you to grow in.
Love,
Mom

Oh my gosh! Congratulations!!! That is so exciting. And I totally agree that the bump is really tough in the 1st trimester. I tried to avoid going there as much as possible because I was always worrying!
Yes, lets avoid anything that makes you worry. You need to enjoy the beginning and makings of motherhood and not be so stressed out all the time.
Oh and Michael said that we will be going to the Taste of Chicago and to Navy Pier.
