8 weeks and counting!

Dear Sweet Baby Boy,

Wow, the 8th month! Time sure is flying by and there is still so much to do! At 32 weeks you are getting closer to 4 pounds and are about 16.7-17 inches long. It seems that you will be gaining about a third of your weight over the next 7 weeks. You have fully grown fingernails, toenails, and hair or at least "peach fuzz" on your little head! Your skin is also becoming more soft and smooth as you plump up.

Daddy and Mommy spent Father's day putting together your crib and getting the bedding fitted on just right. I even did a first load of laundry for you! All of your sheets and receiving blankets are now washed! Next will be your towels and clothes! :)

We are still in the mists of moving and will probably be in the new place by next week. Mommy is getting anxious to get everything over there and done already. I want to be able to get the house ready before you join us! I'm sure with lots of help from Grandma we will get things done.

In the meantime, I am finishing up teaching summer school this week as well as enjoying the company of great friends who have come for a visit from Boston. Kristin and Jonathan are here to see Mommy's baby bump! They are so excited for us and will probably be back to see you after you arrive as well. So as you can tell we are quite busy, but with all good things!

Daddy and I watched as my belly moved everywhere the other night. Daddy's face lite up when I called for him to look. It was very cute. You have been moving a lot lately, like you're swimming around in there. I bet the space will get more cramped as time goes by. Keep up the good work though. Grow healthy and strong! We can't wait to meet you! Loving you more and more everyday....

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
