Hello baby boy!
I know it's been a long time - Daddy promises he
will be a better co-blogger for your Momma the last 17 weeks of her
pregnancy. First, off - congratulations! You're officially a boy! We
are so excited for you! We've been thinking about names for you, sweet
papaya, but I don't think we're ready to share them just yet. We know
we have 3 or 4 we really like, and we know you are going to like them
to.
The most exciting thing that has happened since I last wrote to you
is I got to see you for the first time! I went with your Momma to her
20 week appointment in June and I got to see you on the ultrasound! Do
you remember that? You were so cute and feisty - you were kicking and
hiding your face with your hands, and flexing your hands for us. You're
quite the show-off! And that's when we found out you were going to be a
boy - sitting together in a cold doctor's office, holding hands, your
Momma's tummy covered in goo. And since then, your Momma and I have
been able to feel you kicking and moving around inside her belly. Thank
you for that! We know you're doing well when we can feel you through
her tummy. Can you hear me when I talk to you through her belly and
wish you a good night? I've been talking to you so you get to know my
voice. I can't wait to hold you and look upon your face for the first
time. That will be one of the best moments of my life.
We have some other exciting news for you - in her last post your
Momma mentioned we had put a bid in on a house in McKinney. Maybe you
felt all the walking and moving around we've done since then? Well, we
have our very own house! We are trying to get everything just right and
ready for you. We've painted your room and your Momma has some GREAT
ideas for how to decorate it. You're going to love it. And we've been
slowly collecting all the things we'll need to keep you happy and
healthy - swings, playsets, toys, cribs, a glider, diapers, onesies and
tons of cute clothes - you are going to be the sharpest dressed baby
this side of the Rio Grande!
Your Grandma and Grandpa Wakeman and your Great Aunt Robin are
coming to visit you soon - so get to know their voices! They are
excited to meet you after you are born as well, but they also want to
see your room and the new house. Your Momma and Daddy haven't had any
visitors since we moved, and we are excited to finally finish unpacking
and begin putting together the final details on your room.
Your Momma has been feeling better lately, and she hasn't had any
"weird" cravings - except for fishsticks and steak sauce. Though I
hesitate to call that weird since it is so delicious! (You will soon
discover your old man eats anything and everything - hopefully you will
be the same way!) She has just been craving the same thing we always
eat, luckily for us. We've been planning out how we are going to feed
you, since we know you are going to be one hungry little guy. Your
Momma has found loads of great baby food ideas - we can't to have you
try them (and try them with you, I'm sure).
Anyway, I should probably get back to work! I'm so excited for this
weekend with your Momma - it's her birthday on Monday! I'm going to
bake a cake for her (with her help). It's also your big brother
Breslin's birthday! I know you two are coming to be fast friends - I'm
sure the first time he licks your head you are going to be Mr.
Gigglepants.
I love you!
Your loving father,
Conor
