Less than 6 weeks to go!

Dear Sweet Baby Boy,

Mommy feels terrible that she hasn't been able to write an update over the last 2 weeks, but we are finally starting to get settled into our new place! It has been a very hectic couple of weeks for all of us, between moving, unpacking, and getting things in order around here. Thank goodness Grandma has been able to help so much! Now it's just a matter of finishing up some organization and decorating, but we're getting there.

Over the last 2 weeks, mommy has definitely been getting more tired and feeling very pregnant. Between you growing and all the work from moving, it has been a challenge. I want to do so much, yet feel a bit limited at times because no one wants me bending to much, standing on things, or lifting anything. I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts, since it is only a short period of time that we have left!

You have grown quite a bit in the last couple of weeks and at 34 weeks you are now about 4 and 3/4 to 5 pounds and around 18 inches long. Also, your immune system, central nervous system and lungs are continuing to mature. At times it feels like you have no more room in there especially when you are rolling around, though it is the best time for me. I truly enjoy feeling you move around even in the middle of the night. It's "our" time, only. :)

Daddy and Mommy are headed to a full day Lamaze class tomorrow where we will be learning what we can expect during labor and delivery and getting some coaching for coping with any pain. I hope that it will help us in having a smooth and safe delivery. I still can't believe how soon you will be here with us. We can't wait to hold you in our arms and are anticipating your arrival with great joy and excitement! So keep growing healthy and strong little one. Mommy and Daddy love you so very much and will do everything we can to assure that you are healthy and happy.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
