Poppyseed to Lemon

 "Your baby is now squinting, frowning, toe wiggling, and possibly sucking his thumb!" How adorable is that?! I cannot tell you how much it makes my day to receive an email each week telling me what the little one is up to. I thought I'd be a good mommy and involve daddy in the whole process, too, so I signed him up for the newsletters. I knew I had messed up the date when he came home telling me that Poppy should be crawling by now and that I shouldn't look pregnant anymore. I think he's more amused by receiving the wrong information than actually knowing what's going on, so I've been too lazy to correct my mistake.
 
For those of you who are wondering where the heck our nickname "Poppy" came from, there is actually a reason behind it. We found out I was pregnant when I was just 4 weeks along and Benny made the remark, "How big can the baby possibly be?" So, I explained to him that baby was about the size of a poppyseed. Baby Edwards has been Poppy ever since. I do love the nickname Poppy, but I should've been a little more careful since Benny's had his nickname for the last 11 or so years (My husband's real name is "Nick" for all of you who do not know .. and yes, there are people who do not know).

So even though Poppy has graduated from the first trimester and is now the size of a Lemon, I think Poppy is here to stay for the next 26 or so weeks (26 .. really only .. 26?!) Good thing I already have the nursery completely planned out (shh .. I know I'm insane!)






 Until next time,
Love and Lemon Poppyseeds
