Letter at 36 Weeks

Dearest little baby in my womb (who doesn't actually feel very little anymore),

You are getting so close to arriving and I am thrilled about it! Now, do you think that you could decide to be born near the 18th of December (give or take a few days?) If you come too soon we will miss Caroline's little ballet performance this week and she would be so sad. But if you wait too long we could end up in the hospital over the very best holiday of the year—and we'd miss our family terribly. I just want you to know what would work best for everyone and then decide from there. Thank you wiggly baby—I know you will do your very best to make your mama happy :)

All my love,
Mommy

**After another appointment with the dr today I am now at a 4 (still 80% effaced). Oh what does it mean?! This kind of thing is my hubby's favorite—anticipating a big surprise coming at any time. It is, however, not exactly my favorite...

Grandma Bobbi would like you to wait just a bit more, too, little one--4 days would be perfect. I am so excited to meet you and love you!

Let me know if you need someone to come over in the middle of the night. We'll be here. Sounds like this baby is making quick work of time spent baking.

Kristin Sokol said...

Yes, you can call or text me in the middle of the night.

I love it:) SO excited to meet this little cutie. You can call or text me in the middle of the night to share the good new...sorry I can't be of more help.

Krista said...

!!!!! :) You better text me! My mom is coming out on Sat. I'm trying to hold out at least until then. :)

I'm guessing the 22nd. That way you will be able to be home in time for Christmas and your baby will make it to 37 weeks. Considering the fact that you guessed Sam's birthday perfectly, I figured I better give it a shot. Good luck Carrie!

I half expected a text in the middle of the night as a birthday surprise but alas, I only had a niece born yesterday :-). Having two babies would have been a miracle.

I can still share my birthday month with your baby boy though and any time he comes, we will be anxious to to care for him and the rest of you.
