32 weeks!

Yea, 32 weeks! Why are Mommy and Daddy so excited about 32 weeks? Well it's because if I am born today then I will get to stay at Washington County Hospital and be close to Mommy and Daddy. If I had been earlier than today then they would have said I'm too early and I would have to ride in a helicopter down to Baltimore. Mommy still says that I should stay inside her tummy for a few more weeks though, it's much safer inside of her than at the hospital. Mommy and Daddy had their prepared childbirth weekend this past weekend. They learned all about giving me baths, and CPR and choking. They also learned about relaxation and breathing, and labor. Right now I'm still having fun playing in Mommy's tummy. I really like transverse and breech positions. If I'm like Mommy and stay breech Mommy might have to have a C-Section. Daddy says that if Mommy has to have a C-Section he hopes that it is planned and not an emergency. If it is planned he gets to stay in the OR with Mommy, if it is an emergency that he can't be in the OR with Mommy.
Uncle Paul came over on Sunday. He and Daddy picked out some cool toys for me to play with at Target. I am surprised that they didn't set them up and start playing with them when they got home.
Mommy got to see my friend Emma yesterday. Her Mommy brought her to work. She didn't stay too long, because she looked tired. She is very pretty. My friend Josiah is still having fun in his Mommy's tummy. He is due next week, but us babies have our own schedules and we don't let anyone know what is up:)
Time for some playtime.
Love always,
Gideon

31 weeks

We're down to single digits now. Just under 9 more weeks to go. Mommy and Daddy had a very busy weekend. Friday was Mommy and Daddy's 4th wedding anniversary. Daddy bought Mommy very pretty flowers. Then on Saturday, my Aunt Diana threw my Mommy a beautiful baby shower. There were lots of friends, family, and food. Yummy. Mommy and Daddy were blessed with wonderful gifts. Now Mommy and Daddy have to find a place for everything. Mommy has been having fun doing my laundry and organizing all of my little things. On Sunday we got to spend the morning with my Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, then we went to church. I wanted to be able to go up front when they called for the kids. Mommy took me swimming at Mrs. Karen and Mr. Tim's house. I really like swimming. Mommy is going to sign my up for swimming lessons when I am 6 months old. It sounds like fun.
Monday Mommy had a doctors appt., now appointments are every 2 weeks. I am having fun growing in Mommy's tummy. I was acting silly at work today and wiggling all over the place.
Well it is getting late, and we are waiting for Daddy to get home from work. I think that it is time for bed now.
Love always,
Gideon

30 weeks

Here we are with only 10 more weeks to go, we're 3/4 of the way there. It seems like only yesterday that we were saying we're half way there and Mommy and Daddy found out that I am a boy. Mommy still says that there are lots that need to be done around here before my big arrival. I'm not too picky about most of it, as long as I have a comfy place to sleep, and I'm with Mommy, Daddy, and Holly I will be happy.
Saturday Mommy, Daddy, and Holly took Mac and Clover home. I got to see Bubbie and Pop-Pop. On Sunday morning, I showed them how I like to dance. Then I went to the movies with Aunt Diana, Isabella, Gramma and Pop. I liked the popcorn and Daddy says that he can't wait until I'm bigger so that we can go to the movies together. Then Mommy went to a party for my friend Dominic. Dominic should be born in the middle of August. Dominic's Mommy and my Mommy have been friends since they were about 7 years old, that's a really long time.
On Monday Mommy and Daddy went to tour the daycare where they will take me while they go to work. They said that it looked really nice, and I liked it because I didn't hear any upset babies. I think that I will make a lot of friends there.
Daddy says that he wants Mommy to watch Lost now, so I'd better let her go.
Love always,
Gideon

29 weeks

Wow, it has been a pretty exciting week. On Saturday, June 30 my friend Emma was born. Mommy hasn't met her yet, but she has seen pictures and she is very pretty. Daddy had to work all weekend, so Mommy spent lots of time with Mac, Clover, and Holly. I had fun when Mommy would try to relax, and I would make sure to move around lots for her. Then on Tuesday Mommy and Daddy had dinner with their friends Jenn and Jeremy. Jenn has a baby in her tummy too, my friend Josiah. He will only be there for a few more weeks. Our daddies took pictures of the mommies with their big bellies. It will be fun to look at when we are bigger. Yesterday was July 4th. Mommy and Daddy didn't go to see fireworks this year, they just watched them on TV. This was okay with me, I go wherever Mommy goes.
Mommy is busy making a list of things that she wants done before I arrive. Daddy is worried about this nesting because he says that it looks like it will make him very tried. Little does he know that when I get here I'll just have fun making lots of messes.
Mommy and Daddy are tried, so I guess I'll let them get to bed.
Love always,
Gideon
