When are you coming?

Dear baby,
When are you going to come? I think the anticipation is really starting to build and daddy wants you here like yesterday. Unfortunately, you being inside of my body is not helping me to sleep very well. Although from what I have heard, you being outside of my body wont help me to get much sleep either.

I keep thinking of things everyday that I want to get done before you come, but you cant wait for me to finish EVERYTHING. There is less than a week to your due date. All along I have been afraid that you would come before that date and I was worried about missing the orchestra concert I am supposed to be conducting the day after---but now I don't really care. The orchestra kids would be fine without me at the concert and they will be fine the few months that I am staying home getting to know you. That's good I have stopped worrying about them and what will happen with them when I am gone. You are much more fun to think about. And I am pretty sure that pretty soon I am going to be a million times more worried about having to leave you to go BACK to those darn orchestra kiddos. *Sigh*

Baby, are you extra small? Cuz it seems pretty amazing to me that a little person can fit inside this belly of mine. When it's time to go to sleep my tummy feels big, and when I am walking in crowded halls trying to squeeze past people (like after church when our ward is leaving and the ward after us is leaving Sacrament meeting to go to Sunday school----ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Why do they do that?) my stomach feels gigantic; but when I look in the mirror and try to imagine you inside of it, it just seems way to small. You must be so squished inside of there. See, if you come out you can stretch your legs and arms and move and be comfortable and mommy will be more comfortable too.----At least you have stopped attacking my ribs. Does that mean you have moved down in anticipation of coming out soon?
I am just saying, you are allowed to come whenever you are ready. You don't have to wait until your due date. And I wont be mad at you if you feel like you need to wait till past your due date. Just come sometime and be healthy and safe and cute and lovely and we will love you.

I am excited to see you, to find out how you will look with combining mine and your daddy's genes, to hold you, to touch your little tiny toes, to snuggle with you........ Don't worry!---I am not crying too hard as I type this. You might see me cry a lot though because apparently bringing you into our lives has made me a big cry-baby. We love you already baby and are so excited (and maybe a little bit scared) for you to come be a part of our family!!!!

Love,
Mommy



P.S. Doctor said yesterday that I am dilated 2 1/2 or 3cm, last week was 2, the week before was 1. He said my body is doing a good job of getting ready for you to come and agrees that you are allowed to come now whenever you feel ready. I know it might be scary for you, but you can do it. You will do great!
