Dear Baby

Please listen to me ....

Dear baby,

We're nearly half way (18 weeks)! I think it is pretty cool that you are growing so big and people are now fairly certain I am pregnant, not just gaining some summer pounds; HOWEVER, can we keep this growing to an average amount? The midwife is cool with your size so far, but let's not scare her (really I mean me) by growing at 1000% over the next 20 weeks. It's cool if you want to be tall like your pops, but let's not be broad shouldered like your uncle (he broke his collar bone being delivered ... that doesn't sound fun for anyone). Remember, the goal here is a natural delivery ...

Also, I'm down with all the swimming (you were doing a lot of that at our last doc appointment), but let's keep the "pushing off the walls" to a minimum. I think I am starting to feel that and I'm pretty sure that's not going to feel so great once you weigh over 2 lbs.

Ok, glad we're on the same page.

Keep it real in there.

Have fun.

Lots of love and thanks for your consideration,

Mama
