Hi Anne! I had no idea how rough the pregnancy expience is for you! I'm so sorry you are confied to bed rest. It will be worth it in the long run, of course - not much consolation now, though. Hang in there! Love, Peter
Hi Annie,
As rough as this seems, it will all be worth it when you look Luke in his beautiful baby blues and say "what the heck ". I know time seems to be going slowly, but just yesterday your Dad and I were waiting to meet you.
Hang in there. I am so proud at how you and Rob are handling this bump in your road.
Keep up the good work...
Love you
Mom
