April 16 — 15 Weeks 3 Days, Apple

Marshall,

How do you always know that stuff?

And that’s fine. We can visit your family. Just let me know what day, so I don’t make other plans.

Elsie

April 17 — 15 Weeks 4 Days, Apple

E,

I downloaded an app that keeps track for me. I check it every morning when I wake up. It’s fun. Download it.

Mamá said May 5 would be a good day to come. They’re having the annual Cinco de Mayo celebration with all the extended family, too, so you’ll get to meet everyone all at once.

I know you’re going to balk and say it’s a terrible idea, but I promise I’ll hold your hand the whole time. And if it becomes too much, we use the ‘I’m pregnant and tired’ excuse.

M

P.S. 10 days.

Marshall

You’re right. It is a terrible idea. We might as well do it now, though.

Elsie

April 19 — 15 Weeks 6 Days, Apple

E,

Can I tell mamá about the baby? Or do you want to wait until you meet her?

M

P.S. 8 days.

April 21 — 16 Weeks 1 Day, Avocado

Marshall,

I think I’d prefer if we tell her in person if that’s alright.

Also, everything is set for our vacation.

Elsie

April 22 — 16 Weeks 2 Days, Avocado

E,

Yeah. Of course, that’s alright. It’s your choice who we tell and when.

Did you get us separate rooms this time? Or are we still pretending that I don’t sleep in your bed every night anyway?
