Hey Sweetie

Haven't heard from you in quite some time now. I'm sure it probably has something to do with the little secret you and Haley have been hiding from everyone. Sure, you're young... I can't tell you it's the best decision you two have ever made... but it's your decision none-the-less. No matter what it takes, no matter how I really feel about it- I'm going to push that aside and support the both of you. I'm sure this is pretty hard on Haley. I'm actually surprised she's kept it hidden all this time. I think you two should tell everyone... so you've both got the support you need right now. A marriage isn't easy. Especially when you're as far apart as you two are right now. Well, enough of that.

Your father and I have some news of our own. I hope this doesn't shock the hell out of you. And I sure hope the images you'll picture in your mind don't scar you for life... Do you remember when you were little? You always told us you wanted a brother or sister?

Well... here she is.

I'm sorry it had to come out like that... I had no other idea of how to put it lightly. I'm due the end of November. They're saying she'll likely be a Thanksgiving baby right now, so that will be fun.

Anyways, I'm going to catch a quick nap... I need the rest more and more these days. Call me sometime!

I love you! Mom.
