There are still two full weeks until your due date, but I already feel like you're late! I have become very impatient for your arrival. It's almost like being a child and waiting for Christmas day to arrive - only you don't know what day it is and no one will give you a calendar. You feel like Christmas should be today or tomorrow, yet it could still be weeks away! Every morning when I pray I ask God to let today be the day that you come. I know that He knows best and so I trust Him, but that doesn't stop me from hoping that I will get to meet you SOON! I think about you all day long. I imagine what you will look like, what color your hair and eyes will be, whether you'll seem tiny or chubby, what the nurses will say about you. I imagine you in your daddy's arms and seeing him stare at you with a new look of love. I spend time in your room organizing your clothes. (You have SO many clothes!) I choose my favorite outfits, plan what you'll wear to church, fold and re-fold your blankets. I guess it's a way to feel close to you while I wait.
If the doctor's measurements are right, as of last week you weighed about 7 pounds and 8 ounces. That's much bigger than I had anticipated. You gained around 13 ounces in one week! When I was born I weighed 7 lb. 12 oz. and when your daddy was born he weighed 7 lb. 9 oz. If my doctor's guesses are right you are going to be a big girl!
For now you are still safe and sound in my belly all curled up and as wiggly as ever. I can't wait until you decide to make your entrance into this crazy world!
Me at 37 GIGANTIC weeks. ;-)
Your bedroom was mostly ready by the end of June.
You had SO many clothes!
We stocked up on diapers early to spread out the money we would spend on them.
