Dear baby,
Well, I did not see this coming. You and me, still hanging out preggers-style, nearly a week past due. You've given me some extra anxiety this week: you were quiet in your movements on Monday and I let fear get the best of me before I called the midwives and they calmed me down. On Tuesday you were much nicer to your mama and bounced around full force all the day long. I love it when I feel you move. I am so ready to see you do the things I've been feeling.
Your daddy and I have had some really good laughs this week. He has taken to referring to my belly as the moon orbiting my body and occasionally pretends he's been hit by a passing meteor when we're siting next to each other on the couch. Man oh man, baby- it is incredible what you have done to me. I am very curious to see how big you are, because this moon is getting bigger by the day. It rests on my lap when I'm sitting and I rest it on the counter when I'm doing dishes. What a sight we are!
I don't have much left that I want to say to you before we meet. The big things are what I want you to hear now- that we love you, we are so excited to see you and know you, and that there is a community out here waiting to hold you with us.
I love you.
Love, mom
