21 weeks

Baby L,

We have had some hot summer days lately. For some reason I got the brilliant idea to walk around the hospital yesterday, instead of through the nicely air conditioned hospital to get to work. Mistake.

We have been taking our nightly evening walks a little later to avoid the heat this week. What I would really like is a pool to soak in. Even one of those little kid ones would suffice. Who cares what the neighbors think of me in my maternity swimsuit. Right? And yes, I did order a maternity swimsuit. There is no way this prego belly is going to be hanging out in public.

So many things have gotten me excited for our first summer with you next year. Taking you to the pool, the zoo, a park...you name it and I have probably thought about how much fun it will be to have around for next year.

We are going camping this weekend with your uncles, (Steven and Andrew) cousins, (Meagen and Zander) and distant cousin Travis this week (and possible his girlfriend Molly).  Yet another thing we are excited to do with you once you are here. This summer you will just have to enjoy it from inside of my belly. I promise you lots of yummy camping food and s'mores. I just read online today that you are beginning to taste what I eat. So enjoy little babe.

I think this week's pictures show how tired I have been this week. I can't really get comfortable, and can only sleep for smaller amounts of time. So much for resting up before you get here. :) Hopefully, this has just been a bad week for sleep.

Keep growing little one.

Love,
Momma
