We did it once, we can certainly do it again… can’t we?

Love,

Sophie

Hey Sexy Mama,

Just wanted to check on you, see how you are feeling, and tell you that I miss you.

I got your emails, but things have been a little tough. I’m safe and that is all I can say because of security. Please do not worry, but I wanted to let you know that I’m safe in case things make it on the news stateside.

How’s our sweet lima bean?

By the way, any update on our friends? I guess Hot Cakes let something slip the other day and mentioned to Handsy that he’s got a girlfriend – and it’s serious! That’s so not like him. I’m stunned and happy for the guy.

I wish I could see you, feel that belly swelling with my baby, and kiss you goodnight.

We are getting there slowly, my love.

Always yours,

Ryan

Hey Ryan,

Truthfully, I’m glad you aren’t here.

I’m sick as a dog vomiting all the time. I get hungry – I puke. I eat too much – I puke. I brush my teeth and the taste of the toothpaste sends me hurdling for the toilet.

My doctor said it’s normal due to hormone levels and everything is fine.

I’ve been instructed to eat several smaller meals a day to help things along. I start my day with crackers and 7-UP in bed, snack at nine, eat lunch at noon, snack at three, dinner at six, and snack at nine before bed… there are mints all over the house now, too.

Whew. It’s brutal – and supposed to fade in the next few weeks according to the doctor. There’s no belly to see yet unless I’m lying down, then you can see the beginnings of a small swell on my lower belly. It’s strangely hard… and so cool! LOL!

I love you,

Sophie

Hey little mama,

I’ve heard of women being sick during pregnancy and hope it gets better soon. I would absolutely hold your hair back for you and rub your back, if I was there… please take care of yourself.

Do what the doctor says and try to rest. Your body is going through a lot of changes, and I know deep in my heart they are beautiful to behold.

I wish I could see that small swell – I’d kiss it goodnight and good morning every day.

Love,

Ryan
