Dear Jimmy,

Dear Jimmy,

     It's me.... your Mama.  Just wanted to say hello and tell you that I love you.  I always have and I always will.  I love how active you are... you have the cutest little kicks.  And you seem to know when I need some reassurance that everything is going OK in there.  You're supposed to meet us all in 6 weeks but I am not sure you're going to wait that long.  I've been having contractions (Braxton Hicks) every ten minutes for the past 5 days.  I think you may be trying to get out, but I probably thought that about Jaylee, Jennibelle and Jackson.  Speaking of, your sisters and brother are so very excited to meet you.  Jackson talks to you every day and thinks that you can see out of my belly button.  Jennibelle likes to rub my belly and loves when you kick her.  Jaylee is excited, though she's not too lovey dovey with you, quite yet.  I know she'll be all over you once you are born.  They think it's neat that you'll be born right at the end of our driveway.  I guess that's a good thing, since we don't have a car to fit all of us in yet, anyway!!!  I'm super excited to meet you and see your beautiful eyes and to smell your new smell.  I can't wait to rock you to sleep and sing a song to you... we'll have to figure out which song is "our" song.  I'm also nervous about the day we meet you... not for you, but for me.  Heaven forbid things go array, I just want you to know that I have enjoyed this pregnancy so stinkin much.  I remember waddling down the stairs after I found out you were in there.  I remember feeling you kick so early in the pregnancy.  I remember when the Dr said that we might lose you because my body was out of whack... I remember she sucked the air out of the room and I could hardly breathe.  I remember seeing your bits and pieces on the ultra sound and being so ecstatic that you were a boy... my mind instantly filled with the childhood you and Jack will share.  I remember them telling me that your ultrasound looked perfect, and I felt relief... and pure joy. I just want you to know that you mean the world to me... you will be my baby, from here on out.  Jackson has been fantastic and I know that you will be just as great!!!  See you soon...

We are getting so excited to meet this little guy!!! I just wonder what his personality will be like and what he will look like. It is going to be fun to see how Jackson reacts to a little baby!! I bet he will feel like such a big boy and a big helper.
