I am your Father.

Son or Daughter,

Pleased to meet you! We've been sneaking listens at your heartbeat and you seem pretty strong and smart so far, which makes us happier than you could imagine! So obviously it's time to quit fooling around and set some ground rules. Here they are - obey them!
1) You're not allowed to leave your room for the next six months.
2) Anywhere your mother goes, you stick with her and don't wander!
3) You will eat all the food given to you, even all of your broccoli and brussel sprouts.
4) Because we don't have any shoes that fit your feet, you won't be allowed to play outside, especially because there's so much snow right now.
5) You will put on seven or eight more pounds of muscle, fat, bone, hair, ligaments, tendons, skin, and anything before you're ready for the big leagues.
6) Your mother's bladder is not a soccer ball.
7) If you don't like the colour we paint your room when you're first born, I'll give you a paintbrush and YOU can paint it again whatever color you want.
8) Have fun in there, and we'll see you in a few short months!

Love, Poppa

Hello Baby! Mommy is so sick today, she has a bad cough and cold. Everytime she coughs she can picture you bouncing around in there enjoying the ride. Hope you are feeling safe and cozy today, it is -32C outside so you are very lucky to be safe and snuggled inside where it is warm. When you are born it could be 60C warmer than it is today. Wow!!


Love,

Mommy

Are you in there little fetus??

T-6months. We finally heard your heartbeat a couple weeks ago and it was the most amazing sound. It made it all seem more real. Daddy was there and when he heard your heartbeat he couldn't believe how fast and strong it was. We know you are going to be so healthy!! You have been growing lots lately and Mommy can tell because she is starting to get a real baby belly. She loves it! The only ache and pain Mommy has is in her hips and only when she is sleeping so she can't really complain. We are starting to think about names for you and we are hoping to find out if you are a boy or a girl on March 3rd when we finally get to see you!! Can't wait!

Love,

Mommy
