Hi Little Peanut

It's been a week since we found out that I'm pregnant, and it's been a LONG week.

Even after 4 home pregnancy tests and 1 positive urine test result at the hospital, a part of me still can't believe that I'm pregnant. Other than fatigue and sore breasts, I really don't feel all that pregnant. Sometimes I feel like doing another home pregnancy test to make sure. I've been reading books and magazines and watching videos on pregnancy just to get a peek inside. They say at this point, your little heart has already started pumping. So as I lay in the quietness of the night, I cover my ears and concentrate on the muffled drum beats, hoping that I could hear yours echoing mine.Your dad laughed when he heard about how I tried to hear your heart beat. "It's microscopic, babe," he said. Personally, I really don't care that much about the science part of it. All I want is to feel you.

I learned this morning that you're about 3/4 of an inch in length this week and the formations of your lungs, jaw, nose, and palate have begun. Your dad and I tried to imagine what you will look like. We think you're going to have dark wavy hair, big dark brown eyes, and pouty lips. When I teased your dad about the possibility of you inheriting "the Martin nose", you dad put on his scientist face and concluded that you're going to have a cute button nose because you're half-Asian.

"Martin nose or no Martin nose," you dad said, "it's gonna be cute. That's for sure."
