A Crazy Beautiful

24 weeks ( a bit late)

Dear Little Bean,

You are a growing little boy and are about the size of a rutabega right now.  You are really moving these days and i absolutely love it!  The midwives said you are right on schedule with your growth and mommy is staying very healthy.  It has been really hot lately so we have been spending lots of time by the pool!  You are going to share a room with mommy and daddy so we bought you a dresser for all of your adorable little clothes...we are getting so excited for your arrival in just a few short months!  We love you!

All the love in the world,

Mama

Dear Little Bean,

This week has not been too fun...mama has been sick since we got back from vacation.  I found out I had a sinus infection, so have been trying to get lots of rest and take care of my body and sweet little you!   We did however, get to see you yesterday during our sonogram....you were a litlle wiggling bean and flexed your little muscles for you brother and sister. They loved seeing you and you are definetely a boy!!!  We are counting down the days until we get to meet you! We love you!

All the love in the world,

Mama

Dear Little Bean,

This week we celebrated 4th of July by lounging by the pool and swimming...the pool felt so good!  We gorged ourselves with food and mommy ate too much, but still had room for one small rice krispy treat!  You get to go on your first airplane ride in my tummy this week..your big sister and brother really wish you would come out so you could be on vacation with us, but you have some more cookin' to do in there, so we'll take lots of pictures to show you some day! We love you so much!

All the love in the world,

Mama

Dear Little Bean,

You are getting bigger and are really starting to squirm around in there...I love it.  Today you wouldn't stop moving while I was right in the middle of my work out...I guess that means you like it.  Our midwives said you have a good strong heartbeat and that you are growing just perfectly.  We leave for our big vacation to Deer Valley YMCA Camp in Pennsylvania this week and your brother and sister are so excited! We bought you a shirt to tie dye while we are there....your sister couldn't believe how tiny it was.  We love you more than you know. 

All the love in the world,

Mama

Dear Little Bean,

Summer is officially here for your big brother and sister, so we have been spending a lot of time by the pool swimming and eating lots of popsicles. I hope you're enjoying them, they sure are keeping your mama cool!  My belly continues to grow and the kids love to hear how big you are each week.  This week you are the size of an apple.  We are gearing up for our big vacation to Deer Valley YMCA Camp in Pennsylvania.  Your big sister asked if you were going to go with us. I said, "of course, but in mama's belly." Next year you will get to experience it with your own eyes! We love you so much and look forward to each day that gets closer to us meeting you!

All the love in the world,

Mama

Dear Little Bean,

I think I am starting to feel you flutter in my tummy...one of the greatest feelings ever!  This week your daddy and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary.  We had big plans of going out to a fancy dinner, but since we were both sick with bad colds, we grabbed food and came home and watched a movie together cuddling and talking about you.  We are so excited to meet you in November! I love you will all my heart!

Love, Mama

Dear Little Bean,

This was an exciting week for us.  We found out you were a boy this week...we are so excited!  We also had a big Memorial Day Party and revealed your gender in a cake that we had made...everyone was so suprised (especially your Nana).  Your brother and sister are so excited....You are such a lucky boy and have so much love around you! We love you!

Love, Mama

Dear Little Bean,

You are the size of a lemon this week.  It is exciting for your brother and sister to ask me each week how big you are, so I try to always give them an example of something they know.  Your big brother still thinks there are two of you in there and he has even named "the two of you" in there...a boy and a girl...Jack and Rosie.  I hope he is not too dissapointed that there is just one of you when you make your arrival. We love you so much and your big sister gives you a big kiss every morning before walking to school...she can't wait to meet you!

All the love in the world,

Mama

I'm loving this cute ensemble...pregnant or not, you can wear it!  I am dying over mint green jeans these days. asos.com had some mint green maternity jeans, but unfortunately, they were all sold out...so, I picked myself up a pair at Anthropologie and got them two sizes up from my normal size so that I can wear them for a while during my pregnancy and afterwords.  Then pair it with your favorite long gray t-shirt, some comfy Toms (my favorite) and some accessories and your set! By the way, I own those Warby Parker eye glasses and absolutely LOVE them!  I don't know if it's bad to start carrying around a diaper bag before you have your baby, but hey, I've got two kiddos already who require lots of  "stuff" so why not?

Dear Little Bean,

We got to hear your heartbeat this week which was so exciting for all of us.  It was a good, strong heartbeat and your big brother wishes he could hear it again.  Mothers Day was this past weekend and your daddy spoiled me so much...I am a lucky mommy and wife!    This week I have been eating lots of avacado sandwiches...I hope you are enjoying them! We love you so much and your big sister and brother already have big plans for you little one!

All the love in the world,

Mama
