Weeks 21-23

Dear Baby D2,

 

Let me first start out by telling you how much your Daddy & I already love you.  Here's the thing - years from now, you can't compare the number of pre-birth blog posts that I wrote for you versus the number I wrote for your brother.  You just can't.  That boy keeps us busy.  But here's the silver lining to my more sporadic letters to you - Your Daddy & Mommy are completely engaged in your brother's life.  We are on the floor playing with him, outside going for walks with him, going to the park and play dates.  We aren't on the computer as much because we'd much rather be spending time with him.  Which is totally how we are going to be with you.  We promise.  I promise.  And just because I'm not taking baby bump pics and writing letters certainly doesn't mean that I'm not focused on you and thinking about you.  You also make a point to make your presence known, which I love - kicking those teensy feet and stretching those teensy arms.  I've started to see your movements now, too!  At week 23, we visited the doctor and your heartbeat sounds great - about 150bps.  And despite Mommy gaining about 10 pounds, you are only weighing in around 1 pound, which is right where you should be.  Keep cozy in there.  We love you.

 

Love Always,

Mommy
