Dear Mr. Baby,

Early tomorrow is your day! Apparently you are super comfy where you are and have chosen not to come out willingly. I swear that you were really close to coming on Sunday, but you just wiggled your way back up and decided that being born was for the birds.

Your daddy and I are really excited to meet you so soon! I can't believe that it's so close. It seems like it's been a million years that I have waited for this day to come, but I never imagined that it actually would.

I hope you like it here. I hope you like us. We just want you to be happy and healthy. We love you so much already.

Well, I will be seeing you soon, little one. Please be a good boy. I love you to the moon.

Lots of love,
Mama

Hello baby!

We went to the doctor's the other day, and nothing has changed. You're still nice and snug in there, and I need to start doing some walking and jiggle you out. It's nothing personal, but you're going to come out one way or another, and I think that we would both prefer that you do it naturally instead of having to be forced out rudely with drugs.

The doctor is a little concerned with your size, so we need to have an ultrasound to see what's going on in there. I think you are bigger than he thinks that you are, but we will see. It's a little worrisome for me, but everything else is going well with you. Your heart is strong and my blood pressure has always been good and we don't have diabetes or anything, but I still can't help but worry about you. I just want you to be healthy and strong.

I love you little one with all of my heart. I can't imagine the feeling I will have when I get to see you for the first time. My heart may just explode. Be prepared for tears. Mama's cry when they are happy too. It's just one of those weird things. {it will come to freak you out when you get bigger or at least it freaked me out when I was a little one}

We will see you soon!

I think you are going to listen to me, baby boy! We went to the doctors today {sporting a big coffee stain on my belly. It was kind of embarrassing.} and she said that we are well on our way! You are in place to make your debut and pressing down hard to make your way out. Continue to press my little one! All of those random contractions must be working in our favor.

You are really low now. Like so low that I feel like you could fall out of me if I bounced around too much. Or if I close my legs, I may squish you. It's quite uncomfortable for both of us, I am sure.

Everyone thinks that you are still pretty small, but I think that you're bigger. I mean, you're stuffed inside of me. I think I am the final authority on how big you currently are. We will see. I would love to have a small baby, but if you take after me, you're going to be huge! Your daddy was big too, but I was over a pound bigger than him when I was born. {right now I am way over a pound bigger than him!}

We are really starting to scramble to get everything set to you now, since it really could be any day now! I want our little nest to be perfect for you. You won't remember living here, and we won't be here long with you, but it's important to both me and your daddy to make it the best that we can for you.

We are ready for you whenever you are! I feel funny asking you for another week, since I am so miserable and SO ready to get this show on the road, but I think another week would go really far for us. But don't stay in there too much longer! Everyone wants to meet you and love on you!

Today is October! That means we are officially in your birthday month! {or at least I am hoping!} By the way, I will do everything I can to try and make you come out in October. I think we would both enjoy our birthday months to be separate, so we can each celebrate for a month and not have to share. {Someday you will learn about how your mama is the only child and how that explains a lot about her. I hope you will have a sibling to grow up with, but don't you worry about that now. Let's just get you out and about!} However, if there is one person that I wouldn't mind sharing it with, it would be you.

I hope that you are happy in there! Enjoy it while you can. You get all of your food and liquids provided without having to ask for them. It's nice and warm and dark and cozy. Not loud or bright. I want to make your birth as easy as possible for you, but it's also up to the hospital and doctor to comply, so we will see. {Mama has a negative opinion about hospitals and births, but I won't bore you with that nonsense.} You won't remember it anyway. Just come out healthy and happy, and the rest won't matter so much.

Anyway, I am off to cut out lots of bats out of paper to decorate for Halloween to surprise your daddy. He loves this holiday more than anything. {Well, he definitely loves you more, but it's a close call!} This Halloween will be extra extra special for him.

We love you so much!
