Dear Baby,

(Front view)


(Side)

I am glad that you are so wiggly and healthy, but your elbow jabs are getting quite uncomfortable in my side. Dad and I like watching you squirm and wiggle and make my belly into all sorts of funny, lopsided shapes. We're going to like looking at you outside of my belly, too, I'm sure.

I'm so excited that you're coming soon! I will kiss your little elbows and poke you in your sides (softly, I promise)! I am a bit nervous- in a logical way- about my uterus shrinking from watermelon to pear-sized in such a short amount of time, but meeting you will certainly be worth it.

Do me a favor and keep cooking until after Thanksgiving, if you can. There are still a few things I'd love to get in order before the big day. Of course, since you're officially "full term" now (and our baby and the obvious apple of our eyes), you're welcome anytime.

Love,
Mom
