Dear Isla,

I can't believe we only have 6 weeks until we can finally meet you! You are getting so big...my enormous belly is proof! I've finally started feeling you kick my ribs and you constantly like to roll around and stick your butt up in the air to make my belly lopsided.

Your daddy and I still have lots to do before you arrive, but I wouldn't mind if you came a few weeks early. Most of my clothes are not fitting anymore, and there are days I would like to write Motherhood Maternity a strongly worded letter regarding the shrinking of their clothes and their recommendation to buy my pre pregnancy size. I am enormous and small clothes are just not cutting it. So, by all means, please come a couple of weeks early!! Just wait until we have the car seat though. I don't want to be that couple who gets to the hospital without one.

I haven't been able to go to work for the past 3 days now due to a major flu epidemic at school. The kids miss us both, and I hear they have been asking specifically about you! When I'm gone they worry that you are sick...they are the cutest kids ever! It's hard not being at work for the last week, but I don't want to take any chances and put you at risk.

Your nursery is almost complete! I think you will love it :) I've been spending lots of time getting everything ready for you. Sometimes I just sit in the glider and think about how wonderful life will be when you are born.

I can't wait to see you!

Love,
Mommy

Oh I almost cried reading that last part about you sitting in the glider dreaming of her being here! Isla is gonna be the best thing that has happened in your life and you will be so in love with her! Take care until she decides it is time to make her grand appearance.
