Dear Baby Batts #2,
At ten weeks in utero, your vital organs are functioning and
will continue to mature. Your head is about half the length of your body, your
fingernails and toenails are growing already on your no-longer-webbed digits,
and your hair is starting to fill in. You can swallow amniotic fluid and kick!
Wow! Who knows – maybe those little kicking legs will turn you into a karate or
ballet master!
I’m finally feeling like I’m over that terrible tummy flu I
had last week… it was rough! Thanks for sticking through it with me, little
one.
Christmas is in less than two weeks and we are busy packing
boxes to mail to Alabama, addressing Christmas cards, wrapping presents, etc. I
found an ornament on line that your dada ordered to add to our tree: it has a
mama, a dada, a little girl, and the mama has a baby bump!! I labeled all of us
and we put it front-and-center on the tree in our living room.
When we go to stores, I look for things to put in your
bedroom when the time comes… but since we don’t know if you’re a little he or
she (but dada says “HE”!!), we will wait. We’ll have to do some massive
decluttering and reorganizing when the time comes so that you can fit in your
room. But of course, at first, you’ll sleep in our room in the cradle.
The preparations are so worth it, little one, for you to be
in our family and in our arms next summer!
Love,
Mama
