dear baby. post 7.

*these are letters I wrote to our baby before he was born. we did not find out he was a boy until he was born. some of these letters are well over a year old but that doesn't make the words any less true.

dear baby,

i have not done very well at keeping my posts regular these days. it’s mostly because i’m so sleepy all the time and the days go by so fast! but needless to say, everything is going great. i feel like my nausea is beginning to mellow out a little bit although i do still have a gagging episode or two everyday. i feel like my nausea may come to an end soon, but i’m not going to hold my breath. i had one bad day this week when i woke up with a terrible migraine that put me out for the whole day. it was just awful and i hope that i never have one like that anytime soon. it was just awful.

this past week was very good. your daddy and i are getting very excited for my next appointment and i am officially in the 2nd trimester so we are sure we will be able to hear you. i am still not showing in the slightest but sometimes before i go to bed and my stomach is empty i can feel a firm area below my belly button. that’s you, little one! you are still being shy and haven’t come out of my pelvis yet but i’m not complaining. i’d like to stay away from the pregnancy pants for as long as i can.

all of your aunties and uncles know about your upcoming arrival and they are all thrilled. we are a little bummed we can’t go on the family cruise next spring, but i’m sure you will keep us plenty busy and we won’t feel like we are missing a thing.

it’s memorial day on monday and i am looking forward to a long, relaxing weekend. i can’t wait to just sleep and...well, sleep some more. i can’t get enough sleep these days.

see you soon, little one.

i love you,

love,

mama.
