Dear Little Man

Dear Little Man,
You really are a trickster. I can already see that you take after your mom and dad AND big sister in your attempts to be stubborn as long as possible. Maybe you will come exactly on your due date---that would seem to fit you very well. I don't mean to sound like I am angry with you. I am very pleased that you are already showing us you have spunk. Has listening to your big sister from inside the womb for the past 9 months taught you how to have spunk? Because she has a lot of it. I am sure she will teach you many things in your lifetime.
Ok, Mr Trickster, at my dr's appt yesterday, I know you thought it would be funny if they told me I was only dialated to a 1 again...so you tried really hard...but she changed her mind on you and said I was a 2 after all. You sneaky, sneaky baby. They keep telling me I am not as low as I think. Are you just REALLY tall or do you swim down, punch me, and then swim back up for my dr's appts? I have yet to figure this out. My many trips to the bathroom at night have got to show that I truly care about you. Many days I want to have them cut you out but I know we need to try this and see if we can have a regular delivery. Because this is my choice, you're going to make me wait it out, aren't you? I have a feeling you are because I get foot massages, go on long walks, etc. and you still haven't decidd to come.
By the way, when you DO decide to come, I apologize for the messy house. Between two children (dad counts as one of the kids) and a 9 month pregnant mommy, we just cant seem to get everything in order. I promise we will try harder to teach you organizational skills. Our parents tried to teach us and I'm sure they feel like failures but trust me, we are just always busy and tired. I apologize for all of the excuses but give me a break this once...you are probably 6 or 7 pounds and you sister came out almost 3 weeks ago in comparison to how long I've carried you. It's harder than it looks.
I hope you come soon and always know that we love you just as much as we love your sister. I hope you don't think because I like to spend a lot of time getting her clothes ready or her hair done that I love her more. I will always try and make sure you look just as stylish as she is. I cannot wait to have you in my arms, my newborn son, and rock you back and forth. I cannot wait to see the resemblance you will have to your daddy---trust me on this one, you will look like him. I pray you have your dad and sister's blue eyes and red hair would be nice too...but I'm not trying to get superficial on you. I am going to love you just the same no matter what you look like.
Please come out and meet us. Daddy wants to start sleeping in his bed again and not on a air mattress in the family room(sorry, I snore when I'm pregnant) and I would like to have you in my arms so I can physically see and appreciate the reason for my loss of sleep. We love you forever.

Love,
Your Family
