Monday Morning Pop Tart

Week 38 - You’re still in my belly and seem to be doing great! You are just moving right along and apparently have a good-sized noggin. =) Brain power baby! There’s a little concern about you being on the big side but we’re certainly not too worried about it at this point. Every day I wonder if this will be the day I meet you. We’re getting so close now. You’re sleeping more throughout the day now - or are at least too cramped to move as often. If I haven’t felt you in a while, your dad will get real close and talk to try and wake you up. Sorry about that. =) I’m sure you’ll pay him back in the middle of the night once you’re here! Hang tight Pop Tart, we’ve just about got this!
