Dear Boo,

Welcome to the second trimester of your life inside Mama! We’re so happy to have you in our lives.

Sometimes it’s hard for your Mama and me since we can’t see or hear you yet, and we want to know how you are doing. That’s one of the reasons we love it when we get to go in to visit with the doctors, and they use their special equipment so that we can! This week was just a basic check-up, but we got to hear your heartbeat (and Mama’s!) and, well, it’s just always wonderful to know you are growing and doing so, so well.

You’ve grown to the size of a large lemon, another citrus fruit which is like the bigger cousin of the lime from a couple of weeks ago. Lemons are also sour, but we still use them in lots of yummy foods. Most people find them too sour to eat, but do you know who doesn’t? Your brother Tucker! He likes to eat slices of lemon, even though they make his face pucker up with their tartness. It’s very funny, and I’m sure it will make you laugh to see someday!

Love,

Dad
