Little One,

We have definitely taken an interesting turn this week.  You and I are BIG and so incredibly close to full term, and we can feel it.  Sleeping is starting to get tough, and your kicks are awfully brutal these days.  Sometimes when you roll over I feel like you might bust out of my tummy and sometimes you are tucked so far to the right its hard to believe my tummy can stretch that far.  You are definitely out growing this little place you have been living for the last 8 months.  Your dad and I are SO excited because next week is our 36 week check up and we finally get to have another ultra sound.  We’ve been wanting to see you so bad!  Its hard to believe that you can really come at any time these days.  I keep reading these stories about babies coming 4 or 5 weeks early and I think about how crazy it would be if you were here so soon.  I’d really like it if you came earlier, but I understand if you need to cook a little longer.  Just not too long okay…your mama isn’t too keen on that 42 week possibility.  We still have SO much to do to prepare for you but we are so incredibly ready to meet you!

We love you Penelope Joy.

XOXO,

M
