Dear Henry {Week 35}

Dear Henry,

We're almost 5 weeks away from your due date. 5 weeks from our lives being turned upside down in the best way possible. 5 weeks until our family of 4 is complete.  We're completely in love with your beautiful sister, but the 3 of us know we're missing one piece.  And that piece is you.

You are active as ever. You immediately wake up and kick me when you hear your Sissy on the monitor. You love my sweet snacks every evening and kicking my right side so hard until I push you back in. When I rub you, you always kick back. I think you're just as excited as we are :)

This pregnancy has really been wonderful.  Mama's ankles are beginning to grow and getting out of bed in the middle of the night is quite difficult, but I have no complaints. I've soaked up every second of you in my belly, knowing you are my last, trying to never forget how you feel inside me.

When I see boys of all ages, I dream about what you will be like. I wonder if you'll love the Cubs as much as your Daddy. Or if you'll be artistic like he is.  I wonder if you'll be wild like your sister, or calm and cool.  I wonder if you'll love trucks like your cousin Lou, or playing pretend like your Sissy.   I just cannot wait to get to know you. I cannot wait to see your little face and squishy body. I cannot wait to hold you in my arms and know you are healthy and perfect.


Week 27
Week 32 w/cousin Owen at 29!






Week 34

Mama loves you so much, little boy. Stay in there and keep cooking. I promise I'll try to take it easy like everyone keeps telling me. And of course feeding you as many sweets as I can ;) I love you, I love you, I love you!
