6 months old
Well young lady, you got the chicken pox 5.18.84. You had them everywhere and I mean everywhere. You weigh 18 1/2 pounds now. You roll everywhere and you are never quiet. You say dadada all the time. You have stolen your brother and sister's heart. They play with you every chance they got.
I always thought I had the chicken pox when I was 8 months old. Apparently I believed a lie most of my life.
Well, I got to feed you three time today. You vomited twice on me. Rick and Kassie came up and saw you today. Kassie was all eyes. Ricky wanted to move out of home. (he had wanted a brother.)
Thanks Kassie for appreciating me on day 2. Typical Rick.
I didn't feel very good today at all, they kept checking my blood count. Before delivery I had a high white blood count and after I lost so much they had to give me a blood transfusion. I didn't get to feed you today but your dad and I looked at you from the nursery window. You look just like Kassie and Ricky when they were born.
Had a Dr. appt this morning. I weigh in at 195 lbs and measure 45 weeks and dilated 2cm. They scheduled me for a stress test, so I went into Mercy for it. They said you were in no danger. They also said that I was in labor; I knew that I was. They wanted to keep me, but I talked them into letting me go home. Contractions continued on the way home. Grandma Nixon picked up Ricky and Kassie from daycare. I watched TV until 10 and then decided it was time to go to the hospital. We got to Mercy about 11pm and found out I was only between 2 and 3 cm.
I know what happens tomorrow.
Ricky and Kassie went to a class at Mercy today for kids who are going to be big brothers and sisters soon. They both really enjoyed it. I got the report from Amy in the mail. It said more or less I am 38.5 weeks.
Well you are know five months along. I had a sonagram done. There is only one of you. I still cannot believe that, but the doctor ought to know. It was kind of a disappointment. After seeing you I kind of think you are going to be a boy. I weigh 187 1/2. So I better get on thinking about boys names. You were so active, the doctor was trying to get a picture of your heart and you kept putting your arm in front of your heart, so he couldn't see it. Ricky was really active too when I was pregnant with him that is why I figure you are a boy.
Well it has been a month since I wrote in here. I have been busy packing. Next week we will be moving. I can't hardly wait. I have been nauseous every day the past month. I haven't felt good at all. A friend of mine who was due in Sept. miscarried last week. I felt so sorry for her. I smoke too much. I have to cut down. I bought a bedroom set yesterday. It cost $1200. I wonder how much they will cost when you get to the age you will need one. Your brother Ricky goes to kindergarten round-up next Tuesday. Time sure does fly before I know it you will be going too. Your sister Kassie is sitting next to me right now crying because she can't get a dress on her doll. Well I better go help her.
I bought this book to write things that I think are important, and I want to share with you. I hope to give this to you as a graduation present. Also in case something happens to me before you are grown. It will give you a little ideal of what kind of person I am and how much I care about you. Well, today I'm exactly 1 month pregnant. You were conceived on 2.13.1983.
Ricky will be 6 September 28th and Kassie will be 3 on October 1st. You will be born somewhere around Nov. 11. My guess is Nov. 4th. If you are a girl I'll probably name you Kaci. As for a boy's name, I like Ryan and Justin. I'm sure as I write through the months in here, your name will change many times. At first I wonder, if I would have a miscarriage because when I was pregnant with Kassie, they thought I would miscarry her. But she turn out just fine. But I feel fine. I am overweight, so I already look about four months pregnant. I feel really bad about it, and your dad won't let me forget it.
I really wanted a third child really bad. I guess I always felt like I was the third child and look what I would miss if I didn't have you. I plan on spoiling you rotten. I hope you grow up to be a good person. Thats all I really want of my children. I don't care what you do for a living, as long as people consider you a good person. I'll try my best you raise you that way.
I haven't gone to the doctor yet, but plan to go next month.
Our home burned down last Sept. 2oth (1982). And we are building a new home, hopefully we will move the end of April.
Your brother Ricky weighed 9pds 1oz when he was born. I wonder if you will beat him in weight. Kassie was the longest at 21 3/4 inches. Well you can't say I didn't give you a head start. You got 8 more months to beat them. Well, I better close for now or I'll use up the whole book before you even say your first word.
