To My Little Bean

Dear Bean,

Today you are 32 weeks 3 days old & you are making it very clear that you’re growing big & strong. Now I’m not complaining, but oh goodness some days I wish you would take it easy on my ribs & lungs. I noticed a very sharp pain in the top of my abdomen yesterday & was extremely worried something was wrong. You are my son & I love you more than anything so when something abnormal starts happening I instantly panic. Sure enough it was nothing to worry about just some bruising & growing pains. Thank God. So with the scare out of the way please keep packing on the baby fat & don’t pack your bags just yet. I can’t wait to meet you, only 8 short weeks maybe sooner & I’ll be able to hold you in my arms but you are not done baking so stay put wee one & just enjoy the warmth.

Your father & I have been doing tons to get ready for you to make your appearance, all your clothes & blankets are washed, we have the clothes were taking to the hospital all packed & have your little bathing corner set up. We have yet to set up the bassinet because it will be in the room with us & will take up quite a bit of space so we figured we would hold off for a few more weeks, so don’t get any bright ideas on an early arrival. The car seat base is going into the car soon & the baby on board sign is in sitting in the car with the sun window shades just waiting to be put up! Soon Jackson, soon.

I must admit as much as I just wish this pregnancy would hurry up so we can have you here I am really enjoying felling you moving inside me. I started calling you Bean when I saw you in our second ultrasound at 12 weeks & you definitely fit it, you are without a doubt mommy’s little jumping Bean. Some days I swear you don’t sleep & other days I grow anxious to feel you move even the slightest but that rarely happens so I think we’re ok. I first felt your flutters around 16 weeks & it has only gotten better! Now at 32 weeks you show me 5 fingered hands & feet & on occasion you will play tag with me by kicking me where ever I gently poke, it is absolutely adorable!

Until we meet face to face baby boy, I love you lots & am very much so looking forward to your arrival xoxoxoxox

Forever & always

Your loving Mother xoxo
