Dear Baby
Truly in the home stretch now. 6 weeks to go.
Mummy is exhausted. She is struggling through her last few days of work and cannot wait to be able to rest whenever she likes.
As Mummy has said before, she is really not enjoying be pregnant. She loves feeling you move. She loves when you kick so hard Daddy can feel you move as well. She hates her achy bones and exhausted state of mind. She feels totally incoherent most of the time. And ancient. And on the edge of tears. Some say this is perfect practice for once you’re born. I say that once you’re born, Daddy can stay up all night with you on occasion!!!
All this is leading to the fact that you just might be an only child. On the one hand, Mummy has no problem with that. There is nothing wrong with only children.
On the other hand, I’d hate for you to miss out on how great it is to have a sibling. Your Uncle J and Mummy are very close, for example. As are your cousins S and R. Besides, who else can you gang up on your parents with?!? 🙂
Of course there is no decision here. This is just Mummy complaining a bit and thinking a bit. Everyone says I will forget how horrible I feel after you come. Maybe they’re right?
This week you are growing like crazy. You’re pretty much fully developed, just putting on fat and practicing breathing. If, god forbid, you were born right now? You’d probably have very little if any problems.
Daddy and I have been attending Antenatal classes, learning about how you get out of me! Daddy didn’t know a lot of this stuff and is wondering if he can bring his DS if this is going to take 30 hours! No, he may not!
What a long way we’ve come, my little love. See you soon.
Love
Mummy
