Things are really starting to happen now.

I feel little flutters in my belly from you. Not big kicks, just gentle flutters to let me know you are safe in there. I am very hard on myself and need reassurance every day that every thing is going to be okay. So keep those flutters coming. And, you can bring on the kicks while you are at it. I am dying to know what it feels like.

Your Mom has been very sick this week. I ended up getting my yearly strep throat. Officially been in bed for 5 day now. I am sorry about all of the coughing going on in there. So please excuse the horrible photos this week. I tried my best to look presentable and we even showed off my actual belly. Man is it big!

Did you know that I apologize to you every time I sneeze?

Yup, I cannot image what that must sound like from the inside. Sorry I am so loud. But you mine as well get used to it now.

We are getting down to the wire now. Only a few days left until we know what you are. I can tell you that I am more scared then I have ever been. I don’t exactly know why. All I want is a beautiful healthy baby, but once we know, I guess it makes it for real. And FOREVER! Right now you are just a baby but once we know what you are you are a life. Someone that will either wear dresses or pants. Someone that will have makeup parties or sports themed birthday cakes. This determines your life. I know that has already been decided for us but it isn’t real until we hear the words. I will love you no matter what you are. I have my hunches that you are a handsome little man in there. Your Dad doesn’t have any guesses at all. But the rest of the world seems to agree with me. Everyone except for all of the hundreds of gender prediction quizzes your crazy Mom has taken. Every single one of those has told us you are a little princess.

Either way….we get to know what you are…and name you…so soon!!!!

XO

Your Mommy & Daddy
