Dear... Baby,

It's Monday. Most people hate Mondays, but I don't mind today.

 It's was a beautiful sunny, 73 degree, breezy day today. Brandon and I had a great time outside drinking our smoothie and going down the "shhlii," (slide). 

We played trains, cars, chased the dogs, threw balls at the cat, played on the swings, ate sliced apples, and read a few books too!

He loves his "big brother" books.

 I always ask him what story he wants me to read and he says, "Baby?!" 

I feel like all I'm doing in just waiting and waiting and waiting... for you to make your arrival. 

And I am SO uncomfortable! 

You're just squirming around in there constantly, acting like you are really sick and tired of being cramped up in my belly. 

No rest for the weary. 

Brandon's social worker came today for her monthly visit, so I spent all morning cleaning, doing laundry, cooking muffins and keeping your crazy toddler brother busy. 

I. am. pooped! 

And you're just rolling around in there, not giving me ANY breaks. 

But that's ok, because I'm hoping that means you'll be coming out soon! 

You're "due date" is in 5 days. 

I'm still expecting you to be early though. Mainly because I think you have my personality... and we just don't have time for that!  :)

Your big brother Brandon went shopping with me and Daddy yesterday to pick you out a car seat. We spent hours in the store and even had to drive to another one to get the seat with the correct color. I picked the green one.

 I told your Daddy it will match your eyes.

 

Now we have a bet going about what your eye color will be. 

We just can't wait to see you!!

Your brother is even picking up on the excitement. I was looking at some yellow colored outfits at Babies R Us, when he exclaims, "mom! Mooom!....cuuuute!!"

So I looked over, and he's holding on to the the skirt of a very sparkly, fluffy, bright pink tu-tu.

Between him and Daddy, you will be one spoiled little princess! 

So, anytime girl... Anytime!
