We have made it to 39 weeks! This is a milestone because all your organs should be fully formed and ready to function in the outside world, you should have a nice, cute layer of fat to keep you warm, and I won't have to mentally readjust to a July birthday. That would have been weird after expecting you to come in August for so long! But now August has arrived. The nursery is ready and waiting for you. We have all the stuff we need for you and a lot of stuff we don't need! Your clothes and blankets are washed and put away. I have painted and decorated and cleaned what seems like every inch of the house (apparently the nesting gene in me manifests itself in an urge to paint everything in sight). I've read lots of books and we've taken classes to prepare ourselves. I stuffed the freezer and pantry with food and my hospital bag is packed. Everything is done! All we need now is you. And we are SO excited to meet you, baby boy! So you can feel free to come whenever you are ready. Preferably sooner rather than later; you are quickly running out of room in there! We are anxiously waiting for you.
Love, Mommy
P.S. - I'm not kidding, please come soon. :-)
