cutest

Last weekend, Chas casually handed me this drawing and said, "Oh, it's just a quick little sketch of little cryings at 8 weeks." 

There are a few things you should notice about this: 
The growing placenta attached to the tummy.
The fact that he signed it.
And, as Chas pointed out, 
"If you look closely, you can see the little toe buds coming in nicely."

But why choose to draw little cryings at 8 weeks when I'm almost 14 weeks now?
I'll tell you why.

In one of our pregnancy books, it has big illustrations of what the baby looks like each week. 
The drawing in that book of the baby at 8 weeks is probably the cutest thing I've ever seen. It looks like a sweet little marshmallow pup. 
I flip back to that page often and just love to look at it. 
(I'm weird.)

But Chas' interpretation is even better. 
And is now the wallpaper image on my phone. 

Life is good.
