Hello Little One!
You're not so little anymore - in fact, you're about the size of a rather large
Meyer lemon! Last week you were a peach, this week a lemon. I'm
thinking grapefruit next week! Your rapidly growing size aside, you seem
to be bothering your Momma less and less (knock on wood) the past two
weeks! She's been happier, less nauseous and more active. She still
has terrible moments of nausea and dizziness - which are sometimes brought on,
unfortunately, by your truly - but overall things are looking up!
This could also be an exciting week in the Wakeman household because we are
supposed to close on our house in McKinney on Friday! That means, fingers
crossed, that by the time we find out in Week 20 whether you will be a boy or
girl, we will be living in our own home! I know your Momma is VERY
excited and anxious to get started on decorating and making the house ready for
you, and your room in particular. She has so many good ideas for how to
decorate your room, and I can't wait to see how it turns out. She's very
creative and smart, and I can only hope you get those traits as well.
With your Momma feeling better, we've been able to go the dog park and out to
dinner with some friends of ours. They said they're very excited to meet
you, and we are as well! At this point, almost (if not all) of your
systems are functioning, and now from here it's just downhill to the
finish. Between you and me, can you please go easy on your Momma during
the next 3 months? She deserves a little break to feel good in her own
body again. After all, she's carrying you around everywhere! I
can't imagine how that must feel, but we (and your Momma in particular) love
you very much already!
We've also been able to go to some garage sales on the last two Saturdays -
something with which you will become very familiar - and we've got some awesome
stuff for you! It's been two great weekends. We got your stroller
and car seat, a glider for us to rock you to sleep on, clothes, a swinging
chair, a chest carrier, and lots of other good stuff! We can't wait to
share our world with you, and make you part of it.
Well, I've got to get back to work so I can spend as much time with you as
possible the weeks after you're born. I'm so excited. Only 26 more weeks!
I love you!
Your father,
Conor
