Week 19, Day 7: Great with Child

This picture is you and me reading the book at the crack of dawn on Saturday because your father decided to blast the rugby on his iphone when I was trying to sleep. 

Dear Junior,

People love giving me, a new mommy advice. On the most part, I welcome it except the bit when people tell me that I should '[go out] more' bc you won't be sleeping or doing much when he comes out. It doesn't sound like advice to me.

Your dad and I go out and do too much in my opinion. I miss the days where we would watch marathons of greys anatomy and snuggle on the couch. All we have time for is an episode here and there of persons of interest. We don't even watch my favorite show, call of the midwife.

I know they mean well so I listen to all of their advice except the 'you wouldn't sleep at all when he comes out' bit. Because it's more of a statement rather than advice.

On the flip side, I read three blogs. One of them is called Cup of Jo. She is my favorite and she gives wonderful advice. She recommended this one book called Great with Child. It's a book of letters to a first time mother. Its sweet, funny and extremely on point. I am savoring the book by reading only a few pages at a time.

I have enough baby books to sink a battleship but this one just makes me feel better. Kinda like if your grandma was still alive. It may have been the advice she may or may not have given me.

Switching topics, I love your little body. I saw you on the screen at the anatomy scan on Wednesday . You were very still. You wouldn't give the technician a view of your heart. My appointment was in the afternoon when I'm usually not as busy in the clinic so maybe you were napping or tired. My next scan will be at 8:30am so you will be more active then. You were cute as can be. I look forward to see you again in two weeks.

Love you lots
Mom
