For Baby

Dear Makay,
I love you so much! I know that sounds weird because you aren't here yet, but I really do. Daddy says that I haven't been the typical crazy pregnant lady, I guess that's a good thing. Although I've been sick, in pain, and had to give up certain activities to be pregnant- It's all worth it! I can't wait to meet you.
I know you're going to be a really active little boy because you can't seem to stop moving in my tummy. If I rest my arms, or a book, or a plate, or anything on my belly, it doesn't take you long to kick it off. I was supposed to count how many times you moved in an hour, it was easier to count how many times you didn't move. You move a lot! Daddy loves to play a game with you where he finds your foot and presses a little on it. you move it and he finds it again. You guys play this for a good ten minutes before you get sick of it and stop. Sometimes you'll play longer.
I'm pretty sure you'll love your daddy a lot because when you would first start moving around, you'd be still and then Daddy would start talking and you would move like crazy, like you were dancing. He would stop talking, you'd stop dancing. He'd talk again, you'd dance. It happened every time Daddy would talk. You like his voice. You're lucky to have such a great dad! He sometimes gets really close to my tummy and talks to you. He loves you! He sings you a song about a skunk. You'll hear it many times in the following years.
I haven't really had food cravings. There was once that I wanted a quesadilla from Taco Bell. That's it. This isn't a craving, but I've never really cared for apples, and now I love them. Apples, apple juice, apple cider, apple sauce, Anything with apples. You must love apples and that's why.
Pregnant women are told to stay away from spicy foods. The first time I ate soemthing spicy, I could tell you were a little upset, but after that you never were. It was only the first time. I think you like spicy now.
I sing 'I Am a Child of God' and 'Erump' to you. I try to sing to you every day. Sometimes I just sit and hold my stomach like I'm holding you. I try to give you hugs too. Sometimes I hold the little outfits we have for you I pretent that I'm holding you. I have lots of dreams about you: Sometimes you have dark hair, sometimes light hair, sometimes I can't find you, and sometimes you are nestled in my arms.
Although my back hurts when I stand for too long, and I hit my stomach into the counter when I wash my hands, I still try to do as much as I can around the house. I have been able to relax with the HypnoBirthing book and its methods (with a lot of help from Daddy!), and I feel like my body is getting ready for you to come. I know that eating the raw diet will help as well. I hope with all this preparation that your journey into this world isn't very traumatizing for you! I'm going to miss having you in my tummy, but I'm excited for you to come.
I love you so much!
Mommy
