Hello Little Bird!
My pregnancy apps tell me that I am now 4 weeks along. You're the size of a poppy seed! It's hard to believe that we found out about you only a week ago! This week we have spent a few days in Washington D.C. We've been here before. But I have done quite a few new things this time. Our congressmen's staff was able to get us tours to the Library of Congress and the Capitol building. It was cool to see the Senate floor. It was NOT cool that the security guards made me throw away all of my food supplies I had brought along. I had tasty nuts, some fruit, and yogurt. I'm having a hard time getting to 4 servings of dairy a day. So I thought yogurt would be a good idea.
Then I went off on my own to the National Cathedral for a tour and tea! It was a great time. The cathedral looks like was built in the 1400s,. They used ancient mason techniques to build it. However, it was just finished in 1992!

Today I got to sleep in a bit, and then went to visit Lincoln's Cottage. It was very interesting to learn about how President Abraham Lincoln spent 1/4 of his presidency on the grounds of the home for retired soldiers. He likely wrote the Emancipation Proclamation in the home that I visited He certainly made many important decisions there, and spent time with his family.

I bought one book for kids ages 4 - 8 about the civil rights movement and two boys who are friends and deal with segregation. It is called Freedom Summer. I want you to be comfortable with the fact that you will have two races to identify with. You will be our bran muffin baby. Unfortunately, not everyone in the world will treat you with love and respect. That kills me, so we will need to teach you to be strong.

I bought another cardboard book for little kids about Lincoln. It is so fun thinking about you holding these books in your little hands! We can't wait for you baby. Only 245 days (ish) until we get to meet you!
I often wonder what our bran muffin baby will look like here are a few images I found of 1/2 southern Indian and 1/2 Caucasian babies.
