Dear Bria-

For the past two weeks, you've become a pro at rolling over onto your stomach.  However, you don't know how to roll back over to your back.  Tummy time is not your favorite and so you've been a mighty cranky baby.  Somehow, you just can't seem to stop yourself from rolling onto your tummy.  This week, you've finally seemed to enjoy tummy time more.  Still.  It's been rough sailing.

You've learned fear this week.  I've scared you a number of times and you make the most adorable pouty face.  I'm guilty of purposely scaring you to see that pout.  It's adorable!

A couple of weeks ago, we came down with thrush.  After taking your medicine, you still have it.  So I'm going to call tomorrow and see what else can be done.  Sigh.

I love you, Bria,
~Mom

Dear Bria-

When I was going through morning sickness with you, my brushing habits weren't what they should have been.  Brushing my teeth induced vomiting and I just. couldn't. handle. it.  I have paid dearly for that-- thousands of dollars worth of dental work and pain plus my anxiety has been troubling me since this has all happened.

As I looked at you in wonder today, I can testify that all of this grief has been worth it one hundred times over.  I love you that much.

I love you.  So much.
~Mom
