Dear Baby,

How are you doing? According to all my appointments you are doing great. I feel you move a lot and I love it. My body has been hurting a bit with this pregnancy, probably because I am getting older and also because my body has been through this a lot in the last 4 years. Sometimes during the day or night I just can't wait to lay down and rest and let the aches settle. During these times I have a fleeting thought that it will be great to not be pregnant anymore. But then immediately I take it back because I actually love the miracle of having a baby growing inside me. It is such a special time for a woman. And I am almost totally and completely certain that you are my last. And the thought of never experiencing this again makes me sad. So instead of wishing the time away I lay on my bed and rub my belly and enjoy the feeling have you moving and the wonder of who you are and will be. I love you baby boy! I admit that I am overwhelmed when I think about taking care of 4 kids. But I know that I am going to love having you so much. I know I will adore your sweet little face and body, your cries, your smiles, your warm breath on my neck as I rock you to sleep. I know that while it may be crazy I will cherish it all. So enjoy your time growing in my belly baby boy. I will meet you soon enough.

Love,
Mama
