Well Baby, I must admit, I am getting a little impatient. I have told all of your relatives, and most of my close friends about your pending arrival, I have begun to eat better, your grandpa has bought you a crib that your father and I lovingly put together, and I have even bought a pregnancy yoga video. Now I just get to sit and wait. Since I don't know if you are a boy or a girl, I can't buy you anything, or crochet you anything. I don't have a baby bump (well not an official one, visible to a stranger) I just have a pooch that makes it look like I ate a big lunch. So here I sit thinking "What do I write about?" What do I do next besides wait? It is even hard to daydream about you because I my dreams I don't know what to call you (our boy name or our girl name). And I don't think that if you're a girl I will deck you out in nothing but Pepto-Bismol Pink, but if you are a boy I also don't think you will own a pink dress (unless you later in life verbalize that you would like one). So unless I picture you in nothing but a diaper in a white room, there isn't much to fantasize about...
I did get to see a picture of you though, and that was really neat. I think the doctors were worried about you because I didn't have any symptoms of pregnancy except for a little bit of tiredness in the first few weeks. I guess lack of both morning sickness, and breast tenderness can be caused when you have a baby that is not compatible with life. Thankfully the doctor waited until after she showed me your "strong heart beat" on the ultrasound before telling me the aforementioned facts. But even your ultrasound I can't show to many people. You look like a blob. Your father said you look like a gummy bear. Either way you are OUR GUMMY BEAR, and we are excited to look at you, but anyone except for us (with exception of your grandparents) just sees you and says, "Oh that's nice." I don't blame them, I wouldn't know what to say about someone else's blob. You can't say, "Oh, how cute!" After all a blob is no more cute than a circle or square.
Well I guess I will have to keep doing what I am doing, even if it doesn't seem to be much. I am very grateful that you are healthy, and that I haven't been to sick or miserable with symptoms of pregnancy. I know that I can't expect all of my pregnancy to go this smoothly, so instead I will have to sit back and try to enjoy the parts that are easy.
Much Love,
Your Mom :-)
