A note to juliette

Munchkin.
It's mom. (holy cow this is strange)

Wondering what you are doing, how you are doing and what you think about all day. Do you think about anything right now? Are you like Danny DeVito in twins, yapping away in the womb? It sure feels like you are doing something in there, that's for sure.

Also, what's taking so long? I'm going to have to warn you beforehand, I'm pretty impatient. I think most people are but I'm more of a "hurry, hurry, what's the hold up?!?!" kind of impatient. Not the meany kind. Just nuts.

There is a lot of stuff going on around here. Your grandma flies in tomorrow from AZ. It's pretty rad that you are waiting for her to get here. We were sure you were ready to come a few weeks ago! I'm going to be honest here, I was ready too. We just want to meet you already. There are so many questions! What do you look like? What's your temperament? How will you know who we are? What will be your interests? Will you be as restless as me? What will you think of the world in 20 years? Who are you?

I never thought I could love someone so much that I have never met (besides David Bowie, we shall teach you great music, my love) and that's why we need you here now!
And then there is the perfect example of how scattered I am. See? Wasn't I filling you in on stuff? You'll learn. Maybe you'll be like your dad and just look at me and wonder what the heck is going on in my head; maybe you'll be like me and wonder why dad is so solid, stable, predictable and perfect for mom.

We'll have to see.

Love you,

Mom

p.s. sometimes we are not going to sound fair, but I promise it will be in your best interest. Just putting it out there.


(your aunt Denise drew this when she found you were coming. isn't she awesome?)

Only 4 days left!

GET HER OUTA HERE!
I don't think she can be any lower. I have run 2-3 miles every day since the last wedding I had and nothing! Going a little nutty......

I just want to meet her already.



see? even ranger is anxious

Forgot the STATS!!

At the whale-like girth which is the 9/10th month of pregnancy, here are the stats:

Weight: 141
Height: 5'6" or 5'3" depending on how much I have to hunch over to support the 25lb bowling ball
Shoe Size: SAME! feet never swelled- thank god!
Days spent wearing non-jeggings: 2 (one skirt, one dress)

tips for how to minimize the girthy-ness: (is that even a word?)


Always ask for pictures from the back. I know, I know, normally odd- now it's totally ok. boots wider than your calves seems to work too.

big vests! big boots! big hair! big stuff period!

kidding. i love that bump- my baby girl is in there!!
