Mark,
First I'm so sorry I'm writing this a little late again but here lately I'm just so tired, you seem to drain me of all my energy but you are so worth it. I got some great news this week. First, Momma passed her GD test which means no diabetes YAY! Second your great-grandma Nana let Momma know she is going to buy your crib for us which made Momma so happy. I can't wait to order it and get it all set up and ready for you! It's so hard to believe how close we are getting to meeting you, I'm so excited and yet still so nervous. I feel like this pregnancy has flown by and I know I'm going to miss having you move around and poking me in there no matter how exciting it is to have you here finally. We love you so much little boy!
Love,
Your Momma
This is what's happening in there this week:Baby's now the size of a squash!
As baby's skin smoothes out, his brain just keeps getting more wrinkled. All those grooves and indentations increase surface area, meaning more room for that oh-so-essential brain tissue. He's also adding some brawn -- his grip is now strong enough to grasp a finger.

29 Weeks and late again...
Mark,
I know I know I'm late again but this time it's not entirely my fault, your partially to blame lol. I had plans to type this up Sunday after your Daddy got home and took my picture but no you had to throw a wrench in my plans. Saturday you weren't moving much but you were moving so Sunday when I woke up and you weren't moving like you normally do I was thinking it was odd. Fast Foward several hours later and still no movement I was concerned and so was my Dr. so off to L&D we went again. Of course once we got all hooked up to the dopplers and they were pressing around on you, you woke up and started moving lots and made me look like a big fat liar and that's not nice little boy lol. Since then I have just been plain tired and haven't got on here but you are moving tons. I love you so much Mark and so does Daddy, I can't believe how close we are getting to meeting you!
Love,
Your Momma
What's happening in there this week:Baby's now the size of a squash!
Baby's energy is surging, thanks to white fat depositing beneath his skin. And since he's growing so fast (weight will triple by birth), things are getting kind of cramped in the womb. What all this means for you: Get ready for some more kicks and jabs to the ribs

28 Weeks!!!(A couple days late)
Mark,
First I'm sorry your letter is a couple days late but Momma has just been exhausted here lately. I finally got your nursery all cleaned out and I'm setting up the stuff we already have for you. I love sitting in the glider and think of how in just 2-3 months I will be rocking you to sleep in it. I can't wait to see what you look like and who you look more like but at the same time I love being pregnant and I know I will miss feeling you move around in here. We love you so much little boy! I failed my glucose test so I'm waiting to take the 3 hour test and really hoping to pass it.
Love,
Your Momma
This is what's happening in there this week:Baby's now the size of an eggplant!
Baby's lungs are mature enough that, if born right now, he has a pretty good chance of surviving (with help from medical technology). His skin is still pretty wrinkly (one byproduct of living in amniotic fluid) but will smoothen as fat continues to deposit.

27 Weeks!!!
My sweet son,
Mark, we have reached a big milestone this week, Momma is in the third trimester which means we are in the last leg of this part of our journey! I'm so excited to see you and meet you after all this time but I'm still pretty nervous too. Your kicks are getting stronger all the time, on Monday Momma actually SAW you kick! It made a part of my belly jump, it was so neat! Daddy is still waiting to feel those kicks, everytime I get him to put his hand where you kick, you stop kicking. I have finally distinguished when you are getting hiccups, nothing in particular seems to trigger them though. We love you little boy and hope you know just how much.
Love,
Your Momma
This is what's happening in there this week:Baby's now the size of an eggplant!
Baby's lungs are going through some major developments these days, which (combined with the opening of previously plugged nostrils) means he's now able to practice inhaling and exhaling. The lack of air in your womb means every "breath" is filled with amniotic fluid, but hey -- it's progress.

Week 26!!!
My sweet son,
Here we are another week has passed, I can't believe there is only 98 days until your due date.It feels like this milestone was so far away in the beginning and now it's already here.Today is Father's Day, I can't wait to celebrate this day with you here next year! You are moving in there tons but Daddy still hasn't got to feel one yet. I'm starting to sleep better now that we bought a body pillow for me. I'm starting to get super bad heartburn though and I have had some Braxton Hicks this past week too. A stranger told me this week how small I look and how there was no way I was due in September, it made me want to laugh b/c I definately don't feel small these days lol. I hope that you give me a few strong kicks when Daddy is around this week so he can feel you finally. Mark, you are such a loved little boy and I want us both to remember that always.
Love,
Your Momma
Here is whats happening in there this week:Baby's now the size of an eggplant!
Baby's soaking up your antibodies, getting his immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and he'll soon be practicing the blink...perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.

Week 25!
My sweet son,
Well here we are one week closer to you being here. You are causing Momma to lose sleep and I mean that literally. It's getting harder to get comfortable at night and my hips have starting to give me some problems and pain. You are worth every pain and wink of lost sleep though. I just look at it this way, at least it's preparing me for when you get here lol. Another exciting thing happened this week...Momma got to feel you kick on the outside!!! It was a sweet moment and I just wish Daddy would have been home for it but he was working to take care of us. You are being a stubborn little bugger, you haven't done it since and when I think I can feel one and put my hand there you stop until I take my hand away. I'm hoping this week you give me a few good kicks that Daddy can feel, we love you so much Mark.
Love,
Your Momma
This is what's going on in there this week:Baby's now the size of an eggplant!
That oh-so-handy sense of equilibrium is kicking in, and baby's learning to distinguish right side up from upside down.

Week 24!
My sweet baby boy,
24 weeks today means we have reached viability day!!!! This excites Momma so much since you now have a fighting chance of survival outside of me but I want you to stay MUCH longer that way it's not just a fighting chance but a normal chance at life. It's so hard to think in 3 and a half months you will be here, its seems like we just saw that beating heart in a little blobby baby last week and now your in my belly dancing around and a little person already. I still feel like there is so much we need to do to prepare for you but I know it will all come together and I won't be worrying about those things when I'm staring at you. We love you so much Mark!!
Love,
Your Momma
This is what's happening in there this week:Baby's now the size of a papaya!
Baby's skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, his newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow.
