doctors and family

We found you a new doctor yesterday. That's 4 doctors in the 7 months you've been in my tummy. I guess she's more my doctor right now, but she's actually a family practice doctor who also does obstetrics, so when you're out of me, she'll be your pediatrician. We loved everything about her, and by the looks of all the cute drawings and notes hanging on the walls in her exam rooms, all the kiddos love her too.

Everyday we feel a little more ready for you to be here.

I feel right on track with everything pregnant moms hear will/could/should/might happen during pregnancy. Including the constant need to go to the bathroom, but most of the time not much comes out, you just love dancing on my bladder. 3rd trimester fatigue and mild morning sickness. I threw up last night for the first time in over 4 months. I hope it was a one time thing, but I'm preparing for more. I've slowed way down at work. I only work 2 or 3 days a week now and it's almost never for a full 8 hours.

I'm having so much fun getting your room ready. (Even though I know you wont care or know the difference.)

Your Grandma Greenhalgh is busy making quilts, and sewing bedsheets, bumpers and pillows for your room. And your Grandma White is busy shopping and creating and making sure you'll be well taken care of. Your Uncle Taylor is shopping for you in Alaska. You probably won't meet him til Christmas, but he's determined to be your favorite. (He calls you Baby Taylor) But he has competition, your Aunt Annie in California and Taylor are battling with each other for the title of favorite. Your Aunt Laura works at Nordstrom and she took me on a tour of the baby department a couple weeks ago. She has GREAT taste, you'll be so GQ. You're uncle Scott supports Aunt Laura's habit. ;) And your Uncle David won't tell me what he has for you, but I have a funny feeling he's going to try and convert you to be a Miami Dolphins fan. I'm hoping for the Seahawks, but something tells me your dad and Grandpa White will win this battle and you'll be a Packers fan all the way. Your grandpa's are probably the two men in the world who want grandkids more than anyone I know.

You're the first grandchild on both sides, so needless to say, there are a lot of excited people waiting for you. You are so loved already, and you're coming into a pretty amazing family.
