Dear Little Latte,
You are growing so big and strong! I no longer just feel little kicks anymore, but elbows, knees and other limbs moving across my belly. I can sometimes feel around your feet when you push them upwards. I love to sit back and watch my belly contort and move in crazy patterns as you roll and move and dance and squirm. In fact, you do it so much that you make mommy feel a little nauseas these days. That's ok though, because I want you to use those new forming muscles and developing motor skills to continue growing stronger and healthier. I often speculate if these movements are an indication of what you may love to do when you come into the world. Maybe you'll be a kick boxer, or a dancer, or a soccer player, or a swimmer. Or maybe you just hate being confined and are looking forward to having some space. Or maybe it's none of the above and you're just a baby in the womb who loves to squirm and move and you'll be the most content and peaceful individual. I just have no idea, hence the beauty and wonder of who you are and the excitement and anticipation of finally meeting you. I look forward to discovering your personality, your quirks, your likes and dislikes, and your mannerisms. Will you take after daddy in this or mommy in that?
We had our first bubble bath together tonight too and one thing I discovered, is that you seem to like baths. You were moving like crazy as normal, until I settled into the soothing waters enhanced with relaxing bubbles and fragrance. You stopped moving and relaxed with mommy the entire time. Once I was out you started your routine again, but you loved bath time. Daddy was so sweet and cleaned the tub for us first too, as it's getting harder for mommy to bend over. We shall have more bath times together in the near future.
Another little tid-bit. Your cousin Brenna was just born yesterday. She is beautiful, just like your cousin Lucy and they are both waiting to meet you! After you are born, then you will have to wait just a few more weeks until your other new cousin, Little Bean Sprout, is born as well. The whole family is so excited for all 4 of you to join us. You got to meet Little Bean on Thanksgiving weekend. Mommy and Auntie Rachelle had buried a time capsule 4 years ago and we were digging it up to see what we had predicted about this year. You and your cousin, Little Bean, were both predicted, much to our amazement and joy. :)
Little Latte and Little Bean Sprout meet for the first time :)
Last week we went to Calgary and Sylvan Lake. Grandma W. had some time loving on you and can't wait to meet you! Grandma and Grandpa C. also enjoyed feeling you roll around and can't wait to meet you as well. At one point, when we were sitting at the table, you were bumping and kicking and rolling, and Grandpa put his hand on my tummy to feel you, but you stopped moving. You were probably wondering about this new hand and what it was doing on your home. Then out of no where you kicked Grandpa's hand. We all enjoyed that. You also got some loving from your Aunties' Shauna, Dora and Lori! Know you are already well loved by everyone and your arrival is highly anticipated by all.
I love you Little Latte and we have only 11 weeks left till you are due to arrive! Maybe you will come early, or maybe you'll come a little later, but it won't be too long now till I get to hold you in my arms and not just in my belly!
Love Mommy.
29 weeks + 1 day
Little Latte moving. Watch closely :)
