Dearest Gage...

Dearest Gage,

I'm sitting at work and trying to concentrate on what I'm doing but I can't help but notice my stomach jumping repeatedly. Yes, that would be you =) I love watching my belly move with all your movements. You could be punching me or kicking me but either one, I will never forget these feelings.

Daddy and I can't wait to meet you. It's exactly two months from today that we will get to see you face to face finally. January 8th will be your birthday if all goes according to plan. I have to say, I'm so excited and anxious for that day to be here but at the same time, I'm trying to soak in all that this pregnancy has brought to me. I'm going to miss the movements and hiccups and just knowing you are tucked safely inside. Overall, you have been wonderful and have made the pregnancy a piece of cake! My doctor even commented last time we were at the doctor that I make this look easy. Well buddy, you have made it easy. I might fuss over the awful heartburn I have and for some reason can't get rid of no matter what I take or do but it's so worth it. I don't sleep as well any more because I shift from side to side at least every hour. I'm not sure how your daddy stays in the same bed as I do but he does. That's dedication and love right there. I do complain some when I've had a stressful day and my back is really hurting but then I stop and think, I prayed and wished for you for over 3 years and I am so thankful for every ache and pain that I feel all because of you. You are more than worth it and I can't wait until you are here so I can just hold you and you can feel how much I love you. Because Gage, I love you so much already, I might burst when they hand you to me in the hospital!

I have a picture of the 4D ultrasound we have of you hanging at my desk, I look over at you about 50 times a day. And it makes me smile every time. Your sister and brother are pretty excited about meeting you as well. You are going to have a pretty great big sister and big brother. I can't wait until you are here and our family is complete. Counting down the days baby boy...
