Well, though I'm still feeling nice and cozy in this womb of mine, I am starting to get ready to join the rest of you in the world. Mommy's uterus has been contracting a little. Nothing too painful--just uncomfortable at this point. She gets them more and more frequently and each time wonders "Will this be it?" No, Mom, I'm not quite finished cooking yet! I need to get some fat on these bones. Three days ago was my cousin Taylor's birthday and yesterday was my aunt Jan's. Today is Uncle Tim's birthday and, of course, I'm due on Uncle Todd's. We wondered if I'd share a birthday with someone. It looks as though Uncle Todd is the only one left to wonder about...unless something miraculous happens today!
Mommy is trying to be patient. Once I come, her life will change forever. She can't wait to meet me and I can't wait to meet her and Daddy and all my grandmas and grandpas and aunties and uncles and cousins and friends. But I'll come when I'm ready, and Mommy knows that.
She went to Maryville with Aunt Kelly and my cousins Alyssa and Abby two days ago. She wasn't feeling any contractions then so she felt confident she wouldn't be having a baby on the road. Anyway, on the way home they had a flat tire. And would you believe no one would stop for a nine-month pregnant lady!! Even my cousin Alyssa's little shorts wouldn't stop anyone. But that's OK. Between the four of them they stayed safe, called highway patrol and started to change the tire on their own. Great job! Mommy knew that if that action didn't send me into the world that she had some waiting to do still.
Love,
Sophie
