Hi. It's mom again. It's been a while since I last wrote but things have changed so much. You and me specifically. I am in my third trimester now and we are definitely getting bigger. You keep growing and so does my belly. I am feeling and seeing you flop and move and turn over in my belly. Other people can feel you too. Even though I know it's natural for you, I feel bad that you have to lay upside down in that tiny, cramped space in there. I definitely can feel your foot. It likes to pop out on my right side and I like to tickle it. I can't wait to see that foot out here. You get hiccups a lot. It makes me feel bad that I can't do anything to help you, but it also makes me laugh to think of you in there hiccuping.
As for other things, I am all ready for you to be here. We have your room all set up. We had a baby shower for you where lots of nice people gave us nice things for you. I have washed your sheets and clothes, washed your bottles, we set up your toys, we bought you a book shelf to put all your books on, I have the diaper bag ready to go even though I won't need it for a while. Now we're just waiting for you to grow bigger and stronger so that you can come join us.
We have a little over a month before you get here. It can't come fast enough for me. You're growing so big you are underneath my ribs and sometimes it makes it hard to sit, stand, lay down or breathe. But I know it's all worth it for you...
Dad and I keep imagining if you are a boy or a girl, what you will look like, how much hair you'll have; we're hoping that you get my feet and your dad's eyesight. We wonder when your birthday will be and what time of day you'll come. Sometimes I get a little scared thinking about going to the hospital to have you, but I think I will be more excited than scared when the time comes because we've just been wondering and thinking about you for so long.
I talk to you every day and even though sometimes it kind of feels funny, I know I will miss having you in my belly someday. Keep growing big and strong Pumpkin, it's almost time to meet you!
Love,
Mom and Dad
