33 Weeks

Dear Baby D,

What a week you've had! A 5.8 earthquake, a hurricane, and a BABY SHOWER! After weathering the quake on Tuesday, we made the trip to Long Island on Friday despite the rest of the east coast taking shelter from Hurricane Irene, which was predicted to also be making a special trip right through Long Island on Saturday evening. The hurricane may not have lived up to the hype, but your baby shower sure did! Your Aunt Laura and grandmothers hosted a beautiful party just for you where you were most definitely showered with unbelievable amounts of love and generosity! From your first pair of soccer cleats to the handmade blanket, booties, hats, and your very first Halloween costume (a lambie, of course!) – not to mention the strollers, car seats, clothes, baby books, and countless other gorgeous gifts you received, it is quite evident that you are one lucky and loved baby already!

The quick pitter-patter of your heartbeat was perfectly within range at this week’s doctor appointment and the doctor was happy with your growth (based on the size of mommy’s belly). You aren’t quite head down but the doctor isn’t worried since you still have plenty of time (and room) to continue moving around. Aside from the ridiculous hot flashes, Mommy is still feeling great as both Mommy and Daddy count down the days until we welcome you into the world!

Love Always,
Mommy
