Hello my darling boy!
We are now into the 3rd trimester. Time has just been zooming by! I can't believe we have less than 11 weeks until your due date. Dad and I bought your crib and dressers last weekend. We set them up on Saturday night, and got the sheets and bumper pads and everything all put together. It's adorable! We can't wait for you to come (except that we can, because you still have some growing up to do).
Since the last time I wrote, we've done a lot of fun things with you in mind. We visited all of your grandparents in Utah over our Christmas break. Great-grandma Louie (Grandpa Russ's mom) held a baby shower for you and your second cousin (my cousin Lisa is having a baby girl). Lots of my relatives were there, many of whom you probably won't have much of a chance to meet since we live so far away. Grandma Fern also held a baby shower to have her family and all of my friends come celebrate you. (Fun note: my 5th/6th grade teacher came to the baby shower, which is pretty neat after all these years!) We decorated onesies for you to wear, and they turned out so cute! You are going to be one stylin' baby. Also, you are so spoiled.
While Dad and I were in Utah, I caught a cold. I usually get over colds pretty quickly, but it's now February and I am still sick with they same cold. I guess that's one of the downsides of being pregnant - once you get sick, you stay sick for what seems like eternity! In case you're wondering, the doctors think I have GERD (acid reflux) which causes heartburn and coughing. Through it all, I keep remembering how much I love you and how much I do not regret this decision. You are the light of my life, little one. Don't you ever forget that.
All my love,
Mama
