What is up, Duck?
Congrats! You are half way baked today! It has been 2 weeks since we talked so I thought I should check in. I have a little silky blue book that I carry around now for every time I talk to your Mom so I can fill you in on the haps just in case she forgets. She's got the pregnancy stupids. Before she went home to welcome your cousin, she claimed she was too dumb to book herself a flight. I laughed and harbored a secret sense of pride at the thought of being the smarter friend for several more months.
Your Aunt and Uncle ditched your cousin for the first time last night to attend a Dave Matthews Band show with 2 of your other Uncles. I say it's a legit reason, he's supposedly not touring next summer. Gotta get your Dave on now! Good thing you already went. I know this whole DMB thing seems confusing now, but you'll get it and you'll like it.
Your Dad has a big movie coming up! He even has one of the bold co-producer credits on Yahoo Movies and IMDB! It's very exciting. I would say "He's made it now!" but I thought that when your Mom agreed to marry him and went through with it so this is all extra cake. You will be attending the New York premiere soon. Let me know how it goes. I'm really proud of him, you should be too. He's bigtime.
Your Mom is currently looking for a dress for said premiere. She doesn't seem too worried yet, but I am preparing myself for a mental breakdown anyway. She asked me to dig up a picture of us at dinner with your Dad from SO long ago on Saturday night. I believe she's trying to look for what she was wearing and if it is maternity suitable. Her next comment was "Man, I'm glad (your Dad) got rid of that picture smirk." Ha!! She also cleaned out her closet using a system called "will I still wear this when I'm a Mom?". She said I would be surprised at how few things made the cut (though she has no problem wearing knee high spike heel boots while prego, go figure). I'm just sad I wasn't there to drive off with these discarded items in my car. Dragsville.
Let's get to you!! You are growing at a rapid rate! You are supposed to be about 10.5 oz and 6.5 inches from head to cutie buns! Today is your 3D ultrasound! I am using many exclamation points! You have fingerprints now. Your arms and legs are proportionate so you're apparently no longer a T-Rex. You can hear stuff now. You should be figuring out a sleep pattern right now as well, so try to go with this: NIGHT=Sleep, DAY=Awake, ok? That will make everyone really happy. If you're confused about which is which, day is when your Mom moves more and drinks milk. I call or text right around 9am your time, so listen for a high-pitched "Hiiiii!" and immediate bossy tone to follow. Night is when she's eating pizza and wings. Easy, right? Another way is if you hear Jon Gruden and Al Michaels, it's Monday night. If you hear Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso, it's Saturday morning. Let me know if you have any questions. Also, from what I hear, you are NOT going to go hungry when you're born. Word on the streets is your Mom is packing heat up top. One of our friends actually said "Can you put those things away? It's like Vegas up in here!" regarding her boobs. Amazing! I hope that happens to me when I'm knocked up with your future best friend!
I may be coming to visit you for Christmas. Even though your Mom says "I'm fine flying! The baby likes it!", her Dr and your Father are not going to let her fly that close to your birthday. I have to say, I agree. If I make it out there, I will read lots of books and sing lots of songs to you while your Mom and I decorate cookies! If I don't make it there, other than your baby shower, I will see you in February when you make it outta the joint. I have been meaning to ask this... do you think you could safely hold out til the 13th? Because you would be an AMAZING birthday present!!
Hang in there, keep getting fatter and growing and stuff. Call, text or facebook if you need anything. I'll chat you up in another 2 weeks.
Eat you up I love you so, xoxoxo
