Dear Henry...


I can't believe how FAST our time together is going! You're doing great in there son, sometimes I forget I'm even carrying you until you kick me so hard I gasp out loud! Or if I walk past a mirror, or try to bend over to pick up your brother's toys, or get a sudden craving for cereal...

Nonetheless, you have been so wonderful. The dr. says you are growing nicely, and we get to see your cute little face again on August 7th (eek!), which isn't too far away from your due date on August 29th. Will you be late? Will you be early? I ask myself this a lot lately, and I also pray for a quick and healthy delivery for both of us!

As far as cravings go, you seem to like cereal and that's about it. Although we shared a bbq chicken pizza from Pieology on Sunday and we BOTH had an awesome time eating that up! You seem to be a heavy sleeper, not even the sound of worship music at church on Sundays has woken you up, but you do get a little startled if your brother screams when he's right next to you in my tummy. Or whenever he climbs all over me and doesn't realize he's climbing on you too :)

We ask James, "Where's the baby?" and he points to my tummy. It's awfully cute and I choke up a little each time. I can't wait for the day when I walk into your room and you guys are huddled together under your blanket fort talking about super heroes and trains and dinosaurs. I love being your mom and can't imagine my life any other way than it is at this moment in time.

Your dad is curious about you. We think you will be even quieter than your bro, maybe even a good sleeper (yes please!). Dad is so in love with your brother, he can't wait to fall in love with you too (even more than he already loves you now).

So keep growing baby boy (you're kicking me and rolling around as I'm wrapping up this letter to you) and we will be seeing you in about 8 weeks!

x's and o's times a bajillion,

Mom
