Dear Baby

Dear Baby,

This week marks the 30th week since we created you, and each day that goes by I get more and more excited about meeting you.

You move around a lot now - usually early in the mornings or late at night. There are different movement, the rolling over, the kicking, the flutters and the all scary complete rolly-pollys!! You are so active that you even wake me up some mornings, maybe this is your way of preparing me for the early mornings that are to come? even as I write this letter to you, you are kicking away. It sometimes startles me the force behind your movements. It can feel like you are trying to bust out! Then I'll see a bit bump roll across my tummy as you make yourself comfortable. Your daddy has seen and felt you move a lot more now and this makes him so happy, if only you could see the smile on his face when he feels you...

Your nursery is all ready to go - your daddy even put together your new pram so when you get here we can go out for walks. Boy, our cat, (which you will get to meet very soon) loves sleeping in your nursery and I have had to wash your cot linen multiple times as he leaves his grey fur all over it. His latest possy is the feeding chair. I am sure he will be great company for you when you come.

You are growing so big and strong, it worries me how big you actually are - but at least that means you are healthy and that is all I want.

Everyone says these last 10 weeks are going to fly by, but it seems that it is dragging on - I just cant wait to meet you and see what you look like. I hope you have your daddy's eyes, but not his feet. I hope you have my olive skin but not my poor eyesight.

I still feel nervous about your future. Your dysplastic kidney is shrinking which is excellent news however I still worry about what kind of life you can live. Can you play sport? Will you be able to travel? Can you do everything in life that you want to? there are so many more questions than answers and I struggle to wait the 8 weeks in between specialist appointments to get answers. We get to check up on you one more time on the 5th April 2012 and hopefully you are still doing well.

Keep growing baby, be nice and healthy. Continue to get yourself ready - and remember you need to be head down. We cant wait for you to join us so we can start being a real little family. I love you more and more each day.

Lots of Love
