Dear Bailey

Dear Bailey,

Hi honey! How the heck are you? I bet you are all nice and cozy all snuggled up in that uterus of mine that I never knew could grow so big. This whole process has really been a miracle. The things you do everyday amaze me. As nice as it is in there, aren't you ready to come out and play now and hear all these funny noises with your own ears? Man, I sure am ready. I think your nails are very long because you are using me as a scratching post at the minute. Your legs must be long like Daddy's too because the other day you kicked so hard that my ribs were bruised for a few days. Makes it hard to sleep you know. I also think your favorite hours of the days are 11:30pm-6:00am. You love it when I stand up from my nice comfy bed to walk around with you. I guess you are just preparing me for the real thing. So daddy brought me a nice dinner 2 nights ago from Costa Vida. I was eating my last bite and a stupid black bean decided to go down the wrong pipe and I started choking. I almost lost the whole meal but I mananged to cough for the rest of the night and dislodge it. Later that night, I checked the mirror at work and BAM....there was the depressing news. I think that stupid black bean made me cough so hard I popped some stretch marks. I only had 6 days till due date and was doing so good. Damn bean!

Anyways, we have done lots of fun things lately. I took you to the Rodeo Thursday night. We had lots of fun with your Aunt Heidi, Uncle Morgan, Annalee, and Buck.

We also had a wedding that we went to earlier that day. Our friend Kelly Baca got married. It was beautiful.

Although it was getting pretty hot that day. The heat does bad things to mommy. It makes me grumpy and makes my whole body swell. I didn't know I had to look like a fat sausage for daddy to feel so bad for me. He helped me get undressed and change into comfy clothes, tie ice packs to my legs, and packed the couch full of pillows so I could watch a nice movie comfortably.

Anyways, Life is getting harder day by day. Your room is all ready for you to come now. Daddy and I finished it together but I won't take much credit b/c Dad did most of it. He is good at stuff like that.

I bet you hear all the stupid comments mommy gets from people dont ya? I'm just so sick of everyone asking if I'm still pregnant!! Well obviously if I still have my HUGE belly and rolly polly face. I get laughed at every day for silly things I can't do anymore. I can't even get out of the car on my own. Daddy and I went for a nice fast paced walk yesterday but it did no good. My doctor said that you will come when you want to so not to stress too much about it. Just give me a little clue?? Your bags are packed and I started packing mine last night. Every time I call Daddy he gets scared. He loved the Fathers Day card you wrote him yesterday by the way. It was very sweet. Bailey, we love you and can't wait to see and hold you. We have all taken bets on who you will look like, how much you weigh, what day you are arriving, and how long you will be. Come prove someone right. I love you! See you soon.
