Dear Baby
So, here was are at 23 weeks. Your Pops Burt said to me on Sunday that he liked the counting by weeks thing, rather than by months. But if someone prefers it, I am nearly 6 months. 5.75 months to be exact. The third trimester is in sight.
This week mummy’s boss agreed to let her 4 days a week starting this week. And even just the idea of it has taken a huge weight off mummy’s shoulders. 5 days a week is just making mummy tired and cranky. Those Fridays off will be a blessing for all concerned.
And so my years leave is in sight as well. I am so looking forward to having a whole year to spend with you, just me and you and daddy. We’re going have such fun!
Since you are a summer baby, we’ll be going to the Botanical Gardens which are just a bit of a walk away. And we’ll go sit on the lawn at City Hall, if we don’t feel like going all the way to the Gardens. I imagine we’ll stroll down by the river as well. It will be very nice.
You now have skin (who knew you didn’t have skin before?!?!) and some people say you are beginning to think. I can’t imagine what you have to think about in there. Stocks and Bonds? The current economic crisis? Anyway, in another week you are fairly viable outside of mummy, but please stay in there until you’re completely done. Thanks!
Overall mummy doesn’t feel too awful! She’s tired. And has to go to the loo every 2 minutes. But other than that she feels pretty good. Ready to meet you for sure!
Mummy and Daddy made the first major purchasing decision this weekend, when we pick out your Pram. Since we don’t have a car, you’ll be in that pram quite a bit, I think. Unless I do follow through with the whole sling idea. Anyway, its pretty high tech and wicked cool looking, so I think you’ll like it!
23 weeks down, 17 to go.
Love
Mummy
You may also want to consider a snugli and/or backpack carrier. My kids loved the backpack especially — gave them a nice view — and we ended up using it for two or three years with each of them. Makes it easy to get around too.
