Babymoon etc.

Dear Reagan, (written April 16, 2013)

Today was a good day because we got to see you! At today’s ultrasound, the doctor told us that you weigh 3.2 pounds, which means you are in the 80th percentile! It made us beyond happy to hear that you are so big and strong. Also, and this goes without saying, but you are the cutest baby I have ever seen. Dad and I both looked at your picture and fell in love with you all over again today. We studied every little feature – your cute nose, small smirk, perfect hands with 10 fingers . . .  You are beautiful. You are  also an active little baby. Lots of kicks all the time.

Last week, Dad and I went to Maui. While we cannot wait to meet you, it was nice to spend one last vacation just the two of us. We spent lots of time on the beach, Dad went surfing, we ate some wonderful seafood, and we drove the Road to Hana. It was a wonderful and mostly relaxing trip. We got to do a lot of reflecting on our marriage and our soon-to-be family of three!

Life is speeding up and slowing down at the same time. Like any new mom, I am overwhelmed with trying to be as prepared as possible for you.  It is kind of unbelieveable that you arrive in only12 weeks! I am getting bigger and bigger each day. You keep me up a lot a night with constant kicks, trips to the bathroom, backaches, and leg cramps — but I suppose it is good practice for your arrival 🙂

Love,

Mom
