Things you like...

Hi wee one - It's the middle/end of February and you're going to be here in no time! I'm sure you're busy and snug in there, but I thought I'd tell you a little about what I know about you. The last three weeks you've been growing like crazy - both in abilities and girth.

Physically, I'm pretty sure you've mastered the back flip and spend between 9 am - 10 am (post Latte) and 8:30 pm -10:30 pm practicing. You are active throughout the day but love to make your presence known daily like clockwork. I'm glad you still have room to run around in there. :) You've also made your mom hungry like a lumberjack and craving all sorts of weird things. I've been out eating your dad - which amazes him and me.

Your favorite foods have been all of the sugary sweet variety - not a norm for your mom. You love donuts (as does your sister), ice cream, cookies, sugary cereal (Banana Nut Cheerios) and chocolate. Valentine's Day was a smorgasbord of delight for you - you kicked in appreciation every time I ate a candy heart. :) When you're not demanding sweets - you're asking for Italian food. Lasagna, all pastas, olive oil, vinegar, and last night, garlicky bruscetta. Your final love is watered down lemonade - I think we could drink 2 gallons a day if it were available.

The only thing you seem to dislike is seafood - I can't even look at it as much as I normally love it. I have a feeling that will change.

Today you are 24w and 4d and growing bigger and stronger every day. We find out in a week and a half when you're arriving. Keep cooking sweeting - I want you nice, plump and healthy when you get here.

Love,

Your peckish mom
