My sweet Lydia,
You are now less than 6 weeks away from being a big sister. We can't wait to meet your brother or sister!
This post is going to be brief, but with a purpose. I wanted to let you know how crazy in love your mother and me are with you. We took a week long trip that we just got back from yesterday. We went to San Francisco for a couple days, then drove the California coast, ending with a wedding in Los Angeles. We were without you for a whole week. You stayed at Mimi's house and hung out with your aunts and uncles. We thought that we'd only miss you a little bit and that it would be OK to deal with. It wasn't. We yearned for you everyday on our trip. We absolutely could not wait to get back to you on the way home. A week was just too long. All our family did a great job of taking care of you and taking pictures and video of you. They posted these pictures online so we could keep looking at you. Mommy and daddy promised each other that if we ever left for a trip again we would either take all kids with or make it a much shorter trip (like 4 days or less). We are so happy to be back in STL and with you.
WE LOVE YOU SO DEARLY!!!
