Seven Weeks And Counting...

Our Dear Baby Girl,

The hospital bags are packed, the birth plan is written out, we're planning on a time to go get the few items we're missing, a Baby Shower has been scheduled, things are really starting to come into place! Sorry your letter is a little late, Mommy's been having a hard time focusing on one thing at a time. :S

Uncle Paul took Mommy to the chiropractor's and midwife's yesterday because Daddy had to work. The chiropractor was nice. Mommy didn't know her body could pop that many times! But her hip and back started hurting again that night... Mommy's wondering if the chiropractor was really a good idea or if she just has to have more than one visit. Since there was half and hour between appointments, Mommy visited with Uncle Paul for a while. We talked about houses and Arizona, baby names and how awesome your Daddy is. Then we went to the midwives'.

Mommy had Rachel this time... and I don't think she likes me very much. It's probably because Mommy gave her such a hard time when she tried to take my blood. Mommy asked a bunch of questions, just to make sure the new symptoms that have come up this trimester were normal, and Rachel said that the next test would be for Group B Strep. She asked Mommy if I knew anything about the procedure and Mommy jokingly said that she knew it was uncomfortable. Rachel then became very stern and told Mommy it was necessary and that I was getting it, period. Mommy was pretty surprised because Rachel's voice didn't sound very nice.

Mommy is currently hoping she either becomes better friends with Rachel or Helene is on duty when she gives birth to you. Otherwise the ordeal may be a little frustrating.

On a happier note, you really love to spin around in Mommy's tummy, I think you're trying to dance in the limited space you have in there. You don't really respond as much to music, though, as to the talks and other things Mommy listens to to get ideas for her books. Perhaps you're dancing to the music you're playing in your head. No matter what you're doing, Mommy loves to "listen" to you express yourself so freely. Daddy plays with you a lot, too. He'll blow raspberries and you'll kick at him. Sometimes you'll be super sassy and stick your little bottom out. Daddy will try to push you back, but you just push harder, haha! I'm super excited to see you and really get to know your personality. My current feeling is that you'll be an "easy" child... with a touch of sassafras. :)

We love you so much!
Only about 46 days until Due Day!!

Love Always,
Mommy
