Hi Eli!
I think you already know that your mom is a dork but this startling revelation will probably prove it to you. So, yesterday, I put on an oversized shirt and I felt it touch my belly. No big deal. Today, I bust out the first maternity outfit I bought - cotton jersey shirt and leggings. You know what? Your mom is pregnant. I know, I know, you have known this for 23+ weeks. However, I have never "looked" pregnant before. In the other two pregnancies where I carried longer, I put on weight but it was just general weight. Now, with you cooking in there, I have a pregnancy tummy. I feel better about things today - I am thinking I am past the looking fat stage to where people will recognize that I am pregnant fat :) Pregnant fat is acceptable.
We bought your dad a present today. I won't tell you what it is yet. In case he is slacking at work and reading your blog, I don't want him to know. Either he will be so excited or he will throw a fit and tell me to return it. I am going to tell him it is from both of us. Do you think that will carry any weight? :) I will let you know how that goes tomorrow.
I know you probably aren't thinking about this and I know I shouldn't be either but I wonder if you will have any siblings. Our stance on it is that we won't try to stop it but we won't actively pursue it either. Kind of like how you came about - as a complete surprise to both of us. When we were first married, I wanted several kiddos. Now, I am happy with you being here, healthy and full term. If you are a devil child, I will have to try to stop it. :) We joked today that come March, I will probably be complaining of another heart attack and we will know that you will have a brother or sister. Guess none of us know what the future holds so we will leave it up to fate.
Ok kiddo, off to clean the kitchen a bit...or take a nap. I think we can both guess which option is going to win that toss of the coin :)
