Big Momma, Big Baby!

Hello Baby,

YES! YAY! HOORAY! You were a cooperative little one today! Last heart ultrasound, which you passed with flying colors, and last 4D... here you are... lips and all :)

I think you look a bit like Daddy, I don't see me at all. We definitely can't tell if you're a girl or a boy here. Only time will tell at this point (and not much more of that!)

And only time will tell how big you will be. At Monday's Happy Valentine's Day/engagiversary ultrasound, you measured 90% bigger than all other babies at this stage. So they need to check your progress in another 3 weeks. I hope you slow down sweet 'ums. I went from electing a c-section, to natural, to thinking even no epidural, I'll be so upset if I have to go back to a "c" at this point but no 9 or 10 pound baby will make it out of me. (My tight canal - a nod to Aunt Jenny LOL). No way Jose!

Your size explains my size. Your Momma is HUGE! 25 pound of baby and all its workings that I hope to all leave in the hospital before we come home to meet Stella.


One request before we ask a million things of you in life, please, please, please stop growing b/c I just can't grow anymore. I'm not complaining, well I am, but not to you at least, just Dada ha ha. The protruding belly is causing me terrible back aches and I have so much to do before you're here. We are SO busy between getting the house ready for you, deciding what to do with your room (to mural or not to mural, that is the question), working, trying to sleep, living life, and playing with your crazy big sister. I think she's just as anxious for you to join our family as us because she has so much pent up energy that she's taking out on her pillow - at least we're getting to crack up watching her drag it around the house, jump on it, and do naughty things to it. I can always use a good laugh.

Speaking of pillows, all I want is mine all day and all night. If only I could get a good night's sleep without waking up to go to the bathroom zillions of times. Another request, please stop pressing on my bladder, my love.

At least long enough for me to enjoy my Valentine's massage present. Ooh, I can't wait! And as always, can't wait to finally meet you. 5 and a half weeks to go, it's the final countdown!

XOXO
Mommy
