Has it been 33 weeks already?!

I'm now in my eighth month of pregnancy and the due date is looming. At my regular check-up today (I'm going every 2 weeks), we set a date for the c-section, should it come to that. So, come what may, you will be born by May 28th, little one. We can't wait to finally meet you.

Some quick observations about you so far.
1. You are a VERY acrobatic kid. At times it feels like you are doing flips and loop-de-loops in my belly.
2. You believe that mommy's bladder is a great trampoline/punching bag.
3. Whereas your brother made me crave veggies and fruits, you inspire binges of cake eating (and, oddly, dark leafy greens).
4. You do not sleep at night... at all. This will hopefully change when you learn about day and night. Hopefully.
5. You are eager to meet your brother, Eli, face-to-face. Whenever you hear him talking, you begin kicking and squirming. Especially if he sounds really happy.

Well, little one, Eli is getting eager to meet you, too. He has big plans for you. He wants to teach you how to play with trains ("because that's hard work"), how to be an airplane, and how to sleep. Pay attention in particular to his lessons on sleeping!

Here's a picture of Mommy and Eli and you... while you are still in Mommy's belly. Eli likes to kiss you and can't wait for you to learn how to kiss him.
