Lately your momma has been noticing you kick in regular patterns. I actually look forward to going to bed each night so I can feel your kicks and turns. I feel you most often in the evenings when I am in bed or in the early morning. The past few days I have been getting up early for a bowl of cereal so that I can fall back asleep. Maybe you are demanding an early breakfast each morning? Are you voting with your feet?
I am also enjoying snuggling in the evenings with your father and you in between. Often times your fathers back is against you and my tummy - we are like a family sandwich with you as the center. I suppose this is how it is always going to feel - you in the center. It is a cozy feeling.
Today your momma went for a nice walk with Auntie Sarah, Bethany, and Emilie at Fort Funston. The sun was out - just barely though. The past few days have been rainy ones. Today was mostly clear. It was a beautiful day. We talked and walked along the coast. I came home to see your new (used) car seat that your father picked up for you. A woman in Oakland whose son outgrew it sold it to us. The colors are dark brown and light green - just like the forrest. All or most of your baby things are going to be used. A small gesture for the environment. Tomorrow your mama is going to pick out some fabric to sew a blanket for your cradle. It will be her first big project. Your grandmother is refinishing an antique cradle that your mama slept in when she was a tiny one. We are lovingly preparing for your arrival. It won't be long before you are a day to day part of our existence. We will have trouble remembering what it was like to not have you in our lives. We cannot wait.
Love,
Mama
