Dear Baby: Week 20

DEAR BABYBEAR,

GUESS WHAT?! WE'RE HALFWAY DONE! YOU WILL BE IN MY ARMS IN JUST 4 AND A HALF SHORT MONTHS AND I KNOW IT'S GOING TO FLY BY. I'VE BEEN DOING A WHOLE LOT OF SEARCHING AND SHOPPING FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR NURSERY AND LET ME TELL YOU BABY, IT'S SO MUCH FUN! I SHOULD REALLY MAKE A JOB OUT OF IT. I HAVE AN IDEA IN MY HEAD OF WHAT YOUR SWEET LITTLE ROOM WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN IT ALL COMES TOGETHER AND I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YOU GET HERE TO COMPLETE THE PICTURE. IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE I SAW YOUR FACE LAST, BUT IT'S GETTING EASIER TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT TIME BECAUSE NOW I CAN FEEL YOU EVERYDAY. ALL. DAY. YOUR MOVEMENTS ARE CONSTANT REMINDERS THAT YOU'RE IN THERE AND EVERY TIME I FEEL THEM I GET SO EXCITED AND FEEL SO CLOSE TO YOU. YOUR PAPA CAN'T WAIT UNTIL HE'S LUCKY ENOUGH TO FEEL THEM FROM THE OUTSIDE. MY RIBS HOWEVER, CAN. THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS BEING TOTALLY STILL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT THIS REALLY TIGHT PRESSURE ON ONE SIDE OF MY BELLY. MY EYES GOT REAL BIG BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON, SO I SLID MY HAND ACROSS AND I THINK IT WAS YOU! EVERYTHING WAS SQUISHY EXEPT FOR THIS ONE HARD, TIGHT BULGE ON THE SIDE. EVEN YOUR PAPA FELT IT! CAN YOU HEAR THE MUSIC I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR YOU EVERYDAY? YOU'RE ALWAYS STILL WHEN IT COMES ON AND THEN START MOVING LIKE CRAZY WHEN IT'S ALL DONE. I WONDER IF THAT MEANS YOU WANT MORE, OR IF YOU'RE TELLING ME THANK YOU MAMA FOR TURNING THAT OFF. I HOPE I'M NOT TORTURING YOU IN THERE! IT'S BEEN A LITTLE COLD OUTSIDE FOR OUR WALKS THIS WEEK BUT I PROMISE WE'LL GET BACK TO THEM SO SOON. YOU'RE A SUMMER BABY LIKE ME, SO YOU WILL PROBABLY PREFER THE WARM SUNSHINEY DAYS OVER THE CHILLY ONES, TOO. I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BUNDLE YOU UP IN MY ARMS SWEET BABY! WE LOVE YOU TONS! XOXO MAMABEAR
