six months and counting...

Dear my precious little bundle of energy,

You, my dear, simply take my breath away. I can't seem to fathom how the heck you've managed to creep into my life and how you've already been in my belly for six months.. yes, S.I.X! It still seems like last week we were doing the injections, hoping with all of our might, that you would stay in my belly, where you currently belong.

I can't seem to understand how you move around so much in there. I know, for a fact, that there isn't as much room as you seem to think there is. My belly is often stretched to current capacity and yet you seem to flip and flop, roll and twist, kick and punch, twirl and flail, as if you're floating around in an olympic sized swimming pool, with all the room in the world. How you do it?! I simply have no clue. One minute you're head butting my rib cage, the next minute you have a foot up as high as it can go, kicking away at the top of my uterus. The next minute you'll have your foot as low as it can go kicking way down deep in my cervix. All the while, you're laying sideways, then upside down, then right side up, then looking forward, then backward. I honestly don't know where you get your energy. Must be from Daddy. You make me tired just watching you.

I absolutely love feeling you moving around in my belly. I don't know how many times I've felt my stomach get pulled REALLY tight and when I feel at my belly, I can feel your head, your foot, or your whole back laying across my belly. Your favorite position seems to be sitting straight up, looking toward my spine, with your back pushed way out into my belly. I love the fact that you feel free enough to move about so much.

You seem to have a running schedule of your own, let me tell ya. You certainly have your own way of doing things and I have a feeling that once you make your appearance.. you're going to be a very busy little man. You're constantly on the go, already, and sometimes that makes Mommy worry. I have a feeling that you're going to be the type of little one who wants to experience EVERYTHING and only wants to do it when someone isn't looking. I can't wait to see you explore the world and enjoy each and every new milestone with you.

You have been such a blessing in our lives, in many more ways than one. Daddy and I never could have imagine how much we'd fall in love with you from day one and everyday that love seems to double.

On a side note, I'm sorry about that Dr. Pepper that Mommy drank... probably wasn't the best idea I've had, it made Mommy really jittery, too!

Daddy and I love you, my little man. More than anything in this world. Way past the moon and beyond the stars. Daddy isn't with us, right now, but will be again soon, but he does make sure to tell me that he loves you and misses you while we're gone. Pretty soon he'll be able to tell you, himself. I'm sure he can't wait for that.

Have fun in there, my little guy... Mommy loves going to sleep feeling you rock out to your own little beat only to wake up to the same exact thing. You, my son, simply rock!

With all of my everything,
Your Mommy.
