39 weeks!

Dear Baby Brother,

 

Well, sir, you still don't have a name and we are a week from your due date! Every time we think we have a name and I'm just sure that is the name, I change my mind! SO, I've decided I'm not deciding until you're born, because I'm tired of changing my mind. Your daddy and I think we have a good couple of choices so hopefully they will work! :)

 

 

Baby Brother, I hope you come soon! I'd really like to meet you this week. But, if for some reason you choose to wait, we will for sure see you the 24th. We were given the option to induce on the 23rd or the 24th. Your daddy loves you very much - but he thought we shouldn't force you out on his birthday, so we picked the 24th. Though, if you come on your own on the 23rd your daddy said that would be okay! :)

 

This last week I felt really great. Hardly any contractions. Today I'm feeling lots! But, amazingly I do feel better  as far as soreness goes. Not sure why these past 2 weeks have been better with my back and hips - but I'll take it! :)

 

You are a very active baby - I don't remember your sister trying so hard to push her way through my belly button! But you are just ALL over the place! You can also be really quiet. I'm a little worried about your schedule - because right now you're really quiet/still in the mornings and then at about 9 p.m. you get really active for a few hours!! Just fyi, when you're out of my belly 9 p.m. is bed time!! :) So, we'll have to work on that. :)

 

Your big sister is ready to meet you! She picked out a present for you. At least once a day she lifts up my shirt and talks to you while rubbing my belly. She gives you lots of hugs and kisses. You are going to be one very loved baby brother! She did say the other day that she was ready for you to come out and play! So, baby brother, anytime now should be fine with all of us!! :)

 

Baby brother, I cannot wait to meet you, and name you, and hold you, and watch you and your sister grow together!!

Love you,

Mommy
