Dear Baby,

We only have a few days left! Six days to be exact.  I went to the doctor yesterday for my last visit.  Everything looks just right, they say.  We are all set to have you induced next Wednesday.  I am still only dilated to a 1.5, but I think that is a good thing, because all three of us are sick.  I need you to keep cooking until Wednesday, so we have time to get healthy (and to de-germ our entire house)!  Jack and I made you two more blankets yesterday, and we finally got some newborn sized diapers for you- you would be swimming in Jack's leftover size 5 diapers!  I think we are all set for you to arrive.

Love,
Mommy

PS- Here are a couple pictures of my 9 month tummy!

Dear Baby,

I have a wisdom tooth coming in!  There's not much to do about it until after you arrive, but soon after I will have to have them removed.  I have another sinus infection, too.  I seem to have gotten sick so often this winter!  Hopefully everything will be cleared up by the time you enter the picture, and you can come home to a healthy family.  I finished your baby quilt today, and it is waiting for you in your crib.  One more thing checked off the list!  We can't wait for you to join us.

Love,
Your Mom
