Since I am using my silly little blog as a diary of sorts, I wanted to make sure I wrote this little one a note before he, or she, blesses our family and this world with their presence....
Baby Y,
I cant believe I only just found out about you in August. How the time now seems to have flown by. I have loved being pregnant. I always thought I might, but I'm sooo happy it has been the experience I had hoped for, ups, downs and all.
I get stoked every time I hear your heartbeat, feel your little legs kicking or nudging me in the middle of the night, seeing you float around in my tummy those first few months... Its rather awesome and I will miss those moments that only you and I have shared...BUT, losing those moments means we will finally get to meet you, see your beautiful face, and start our journey as a family together. And most importantly, learn if you will be a fearless little boy, or a vivacious little lady! Lets be honest, you will likely NOT be shy...
Good luck with your passage into this life... it might be a little crazy and hectic, but I promise to do my best to get you here unscathed (and keep myself in tact as well). You are coming in the Spring, which is one of my four favorite seasons. You will be a welcome addition to the sprouting flowers and trees, baby birds and bunnies, misty rain... and brighter, longer days.
You will be instantly and insanely loved and oogled over. You are the first grandchild, so be prepared. All of your aunties and uncles are super excited for your arrival as well.
I might freak out a bit at times... I may forget how to eject your car seat or to change a diaper or three, or even how to collapse the redonk stroller we got you, but please be patient... I am no Carol Brady.
I'll do my best to make you smile and keep you calm, cool and collected 95-98% of the time. Despite my inevitable downfalls, I know I will always try to kick parenthood's a$$ as best I can.
I'll love you forever, and I'm overcome with joy that you will soon be on your way.
Love,
Your Mom
Here I am in all my glory... big as a house, swollen piggies, nose starting to get bigger (how weird) and things getting super cramped in my belly (yes baby, that's my rib your foot is stuck in...).
Here's to my last few weeks on this earth as just me... I cant wait for my little Spring arrival, and for life as I know it, to never, ever be the same, in the most exciting, most terrifying and most amazing ways.

these last few moments are so special, and the joy when you finally push the baby out, cannot be estimated !!!!!! I never got bored trying to be patient waiting to know what I was carrying...5 times too.. and all of them now grown up and some with kids of their own... so I do envy you in a way, because you are at the start of a wonderful adventure... no one tells you how it will work out, you learn by flying by the seat of your pants.. all the books in the world cannot really show you how... but you will know, deep inside the best way to deal with your baby... the impossible baby, with needs that are shown by crying or screaming... but the joy is immense, and if you are lucky like I was, despite not knowing a fig about how to bring them up... you will end with a person that you love and are pleased to know them as a person.. Good luck with the birthing, and let us out in blogland know how you get along.. I never thought I would get the hang of it when I bought my first baby home, but its amazing how fast you learn!!! [when in labour I found counting numbers a great way to get a hold on the pain, and was controlable...] xx hugs from across the pond, janzi
