What a Christmas Blessing....our little man arrives in just 6 more weeks. That is so surreal. I'm 34 weeks pregnant and the baby is the size of a cantaloupe weighing almost 5 pounds! It's a hiccuping cantaloupe...he hiccups 3 to 4 times a day :) And moves 100 million times a day. He's always swimming around doing something, especially when Mommy is trying to sleep. He's a busy little guy.
Little man...Mommy stays up all night sometimes and sleeps during the day because you move so much. Good thing Mommy works from home, so she can work any hours of the day. That will make it much easier when you are born and you are up ALL the time at night.
So Little Man...Are you wondering what Mommy looks like now? Look at my tummy! You are growing like a watermelon! Look how big you are making Mommy's tummy. It's going to get even bigger as you grow. Oh, you just kicked me a bunch of times. Are you doing somersaults in there? You must know I'm talking to you right now ;) Oh and now you have the hiccups. You are always up to something.
So, we sure have been busy getting this house ready for you. You'll be glad to know, we have just about everything you'll need to be a happy baby in this house. And your family and all our friends are just so excited to meet you! I'm going to leave all the Christmas decorations up until you get here on February 7th. I was thinking you would want to see them so if you want to come a week or two early, that would be cool. I think you'll like how they look!
So, the nice men from the furniture delivery company came and brought your furniture! So, here's your room now. It's still not done. I have to get some art for the walls and your curtains but do you love it? I just sat in your room last night and dreamt about the day you will be here in that chair with me. I really can't wait to meet you!! Do you have any idea how much you are loved? Mommy and Daddy LOVE YOU THIS MUCH!! (My Hands are all the way out to my sides.)

| This is your special bed! I have to take the bumper out when you arrive cause they aren't safe for babies. Your Mimi Cunningham bought the bedding for you! Do you love it? |
 |
| This is the Special Rocking Chair that your Grandma Denenberg bought for you. And Sara bought you those monkeys in the corner. They are going on the wall when Daddy hangs them up. |

| Your Changing Area |

| This is your closet area. |
Do you love it? I know you are thinking, "Wow Mom and Dad...that's totally nice and perfect for me! I'm really lucky! How did you know I would love it?" As parents, we just know things like this. Now you aren't allowed to mess up this pretty room, okay? No drawing on the walls, peeing in the corners or on the wall when I change you and no messing up the furniture or messing up the closet. Got it? Great, we have a pact. :) And, Mommy never had a room as nice as this. Daddy didn't either, so you are VERY lucky. So you need to take good care of it and share it with your friends when they come over to play.
The last thing I want to tell you is that you already have a new friend when you arrive! My friend Julie just had her baby boy 10 days ago! This is a picture of your friend below. Guess what though? His Mommy and Daddy were told by the doctors he would be a girl! So they prepared a purple room, got all girl clothing, picked a girl name and got everything ready for a little girl and guess what? A little man came out! So now you will have a little man friend you can play with that lives right down the road. He is simply adorable. He'll be 6 weeks older than you! I think you'll like your new friend Ethan. I think he's very friendly, he's motivated (like his parents), he's very good at sharing, he is nice to others and has a smile on his face all the time. So you will be good friends! And don't worry, he won't dress like a girl...his Mom already has tons of new boy clothes from friends and family, so he'll be dressed like a boy when you meet him. See his picture, this is your Ethan friend. I was over there yesterday and I held him and I adore him. I can't believe you will be a little baby like him!
That's your update for now. Mommy and Daddy LOVE you very much and want you to know you can achieve ANYTHING you want in this world with hard work and dedication. Remember, to the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world. So ALWAYS be kind, happy and caring when you meet people. You are going to be such a blessing to this world!
Love, Mommy and Daddy
