Your room is almost done!

Dear Little Sprout,

Well, little man, your nursery is almost done!  Your Grandpa Scott still has to finish painting your dresser, and then we'll hang pictures and your valance over your window...  But it's mostly done!  I really appreciate Grandpa Scott and Nana Debi helping with all of the renovations in that room...  Your daddy and I are kind of new at the whole home ownership and decorating thing!  I hope that you will love your room.  It has an ocean theme, so I am hoping that it can grow with you for at least a few years.

Sometimes, I go in there and just look at your room and stare at your crib like wooooooooowww.  It makes things so much more real.  I even catch your daddy slipping in there and looking at your crib. ;)

However, just because you have a room doesn't mean that it's time for you to come hang out in it!  You need to bake at least another 12 weeks, please.  In order to make that a shorter and more comfortable process for both of us, I would kindly suggest that you get out of my ribcage. :)

You are still very active.  I'll be interested to see if you have a little brother or sister if he or she is this active in the womb.  From what I've read, you seem to be more active than the average fetus.  (If Nana Debi is reading this, she's cringing because she hates when I call you a fetus.)  You discovered my ribcage the other day, so that's your new hangout...  I don't know if you think you're playing in a cage or playing jail or what, but it's not super fun on my end. :P

You were being hyper this evening, then Daddy came over and rubbed my tummy and talked to you.  That seemed to calm you down a lot.  You'd give little kicks back to what he was saying, but you were otherwise pretty calm.  Maybe it's because he was speaking some French, and you were confused like I was. ;P

In a week and a half, you'll have your first shower!  I'm excited to celebrate you with friends and family. :)

Love,

Mommy
