Baby Newsletter!

I told my colleagues I was pregnant on my 30th birthday. One of my friends, Heather, immediately named herself my unborn baby's BPA - Baby Personal Assistant (since this is my first child, I'll take all the help I can get!). Below is the first of the weekly newsletters she sent to our friends at work:


Hello Everyone,

CONGRATS TO ERIKA MELLER!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A WORLD BOOK BABY!!!!

Baby is due Thanksgiving and we are all so excited for Erika and Brent! 

Here is an update with how big baby is:



Erika's baby is just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.

She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccuping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.

Congrats Erika! We love you!!!
-Baby's Personal Assistant
