Hi baby! You actually won’t be 11 weeks until tomorrow, but I have a packed day tomorrow and so I wanted to write tonight.  Your daddy comes home tomorrow night, FINALLY!  I feel like he has been gone forever, but it has only been a week.  I have been so emotional and sleepy (this is normal in the first trimester I have been told).  But with him being away, it made it feel even worse.  I did go down to Virginia Beach (where your grandma & step grandpa, Kevin live) for the past couple of days.  I did some work for my mom, but mostly just hung out with her and watched an entire season and a half of Downton Abbey with her.  She is in California now and I so wish I went with her.  I miss our house in California and I especially miss the weather.  Daddy and I were talking about moving back there, but when we found out that you were coming we decided that we are going to stay here in Virginia.  Our plan is to get Belle’s Pleasure up and running here in Virginia.  Between this and Daddy’s job we will have plenty of money to visit California whenever we want.  I plan on taking you there a lot.  Especially in the winters.  The winters here in Virginia are terrible, unbearable, and miserable.  The winter in California is so much better, you will see!  🙂

Speaking of California, and Daddy’s job.  He sent me some pictures a couple of days ago of what he was doing at work.

He was flying over Mommy’s hometown in Marine 1.  Pretty cool, right?  President Obama is in California today and tomorrow.  Your daddy is there because he is doing the advance for when he arrives.  Anyway, when he sent me those pictures, I immediately thought of you because these are the types of things you will never know about what Daddy or I were doing these days unless someone tells you.  So that is what I am going to do.  Maybe one day you will want to read this and think it is pretty cool.  Even if you don’t, I’m going to do it anyway.
