Hello little turkey.....

Dear little guy,

It’s hard to believe we are already in week 33. The last doctor’s visit told us you were in the Frank Breech position. Now, I hate to be a nag – but you really need to turn yourself around. For now I’ll just gently try to use my soothing voice to politely ask you to turn. If at 37 weeks the doctor tells me you’re still being a pain-in the ass-down position, you will begin to hear the “not so nice mommy voice”.

And just ask daddy, nobody, nobody wants to hear that!

You’ve really started to get your groove on lately. Most mothers have told me babies slow down in the 30 week range, you seem to be bopping and bumping even more. Maybe you’re trying to get comfortable in there….but you certainly seem to be having yourself a party in there. You’ve kept me awake a number of nights these last few weeks and have been intent on keeping me as awake as possible. I’m just saying, I won’t forget this and when you’re 15 and want to sleep in, I’ll pull out this card and force you to rise with the sun!

All joking aside, it’s getting close to crunch time. Your father and I are getting anxious, nervous, excited as we anticipate your arrival. We both hope it’s a safe and healthy labour and delivery and that you’re lungs are strong enough for every first breath and first cry. Mother’s intuition tells me you won’t make it to your due date, but then again, mother’s intuition had me convinced I was carrying a girl….so we know that this mother clearly has her “off days”.  But with every off day, I hope to have countless "on" days.

Stay warm and safe in there and keep growing and gaining as much strength as you can, there are lots of people out here excited to meet you.

See you in less than two months!

Love,
Mom & Dad
