Neglegent

Dear Baby,

I've been a bad pregnant mommy.  With your sister, I was so good at taking regular maternity photos of my belly growth and everything.   With you, until now, I haven't really taken any.  I'm so sorry, baby boy.  This doesn't mean that I love you any less.  It simply means that I am already a parent of one child, so business and forgetfulness keep me from commemorating this unique part of your life.

...But, if you look on the bright side, with you, I wrote a baby blog!  ...Something I never did for your sister.  So, in this way, my pregnancy with you has been recorded uniquely.  Each one of you is different, so each of you have a different story.

So here it is, baby, my first real prego belly pics.  Me at 34 weeks gestation:

...Sorry it took me so long to capture you under my belly in photos, little guy!

Love,
Mama

Getting Rounder

Dear Baby,

This is my pathetic existence now:

As your daddy says, "Now I'm helping two girls in my home with their socks."  Yep.  I'm to round to comfortably reach my feet and get my socks on.  It's a good thing you have such a loving daddy who is willing to help me with even the most mundane of daily activities.

Love you, baby!... Even if you make things inconvenient!

Love,
Mama

Charity's Game

Dear Baby,

Your big sister and I have a little game that we play together, to help her understand that you are going to be part of our lives...

Mama says, "Where's Baby Brother?..." 

"...There he is!"

This is largely a game of peek-a-boo with my belly, but Charity seems to have at least some small concept that you, a baby, is in my stomach or related to my stomach. It's pretty adorable to watch, and I am just glad that we got it represented in photos.

...She is just going to love you, baby!

Love always,

Mama
