Dear Little Goomba,

Today, we saw you for the second time.  You are 7 weeks and 5 days old.  Your heart rate is 167. :)  We told the world about you! (aka Facebook)  People are so excited that you exist, and so are we!  I loved seeing your little heart flicker up on the screen.

I've been sicker with you than I was with your brother, so it has been a pretty rough time.  I hope that we will be feeling better soon.  I'm wondering if you are a girl because of the old wive's tales about high heart rates and more sickness with girls.  I can't wait to find out who you are!

Stay nice and cozy. :)

Love,

Mommy

Hello, Little Goomba

Dear Little Goomba,

I've been afraid to write to you even though I've known about you since October 20.  After losing my last pregnancy, I was so afraid I'd lose you, too.  Now, I've been through some blood work, and am now feeling quite crappy and nauseated, so I feel a little bit safer, though I will never feel totally safe because the miscarriage robbed me of that blind happiness and innocence.

We are so excited to have you!  We prayed for you so hard every day, and we have even more so since we found out about you.  We call you our little "Goomba" because Goombas are a Mario character, and Daddy and I are big Mario fans...  But what I really call you is my rainbow.  Please shine on and hang on so you can meet us.  We are thrilled about you!

Love,

Mommy
