25 weeks
Dear Baby,
Less than 15 weeks to go before I hit that 40 week mark. I can't believe that in just four days we will only have double digits left until your due date. I still feel so unprepared for your arrival, yet we can't wait to meet you.
Your Dad has been busy scraping the paint off of the hardwood floors in your room (that was so kindly left by previous owners) but we haven't moved all of his equipment down to the basement yet—which to me is when it will really start to feel like we are making some headway. Tim and Laurie gave us a beautiful crib that is still in pieces down in the basement (and needs a mattress so you aren't sleeping on the wooden bottom. Gam bought us a glider and rocking ottoman set for Christmas this year that has nice creamy colored cushions which will go great with your bedding. We are planning on painting your room too—probably a sage green or blue color. Once that is done and the closet is cleared out, we can start filling up your room with the furniture and goodies.
I'm getting bigger and bigger everyday, but you must be too because your new favorite thing is to kick and squirm all over the place. You're strong enough that it's really obvious when you're moving around inside of me. We've started reading books to you and it will be interesting to see whether or not you have any recollection of that once we start reading them to you when you're in our arms.
Slowly, but surely we are acquiring things that will help to make your transition into the outside world a safe and comforting one. The barrage of goodies won't come until your shower—which will probably be in February. That will be so much fun. Hopefully we will get a lot of those necessities for you then and I won't have so much anxiety about not being ready for you.
In just over two weeks your Dad and I start our "Birth, Babies, and Beyond" classes. They are for two hours on Tuesday nights and run for six consecutive weeks. I'm not sure what all will be included, but again, I'm sure they will help ease our anxieties. On Friday I have another appointment with the doctor. I'm really looking forward to this one because your Dad will finally be able to come along and meet the doctor as well as hear your heartbeat again. He hasn't heard it since you were just 12 weeks old and it's one of my favorite parts of each appointment. I'm sure he's excited for that too.
Love,
Mommy

I love LOVE the belly!! How cool the nursery is well on its way to being finished. Kinda makes it even more real, right?
You are looking good!
My sister read to my nephew when since when he was first born. Someone said to my mom, "She is already reading to him!!" LOL. I think it is a good thing!
Looking gorgeous!! :-)
