Dear Baby Stewart

Mommy and Daddy are just wanting to let you know that we are ready for you to come any time now. Mommy has loved being pregnant and it has not been hard for her...that is until my feet, legs, and hands started to look like this everyday for the past month. They swell up and go almost purple and it is starting to hurt Mommy! But I will miss feeling you move, feeling you have the hiccups, and just being with you 24/7. You have come everywhere with me for the past 9 months! Although it will be nice to see my feet again and to be able to sleep on my tummy again and get somewhat of a waist back (even if it is a little rolly-polly). I have waited so patiently for the day that I would be a Mom and now it is right around the corner. There have been days when I get nervous and scared, and then there are days where I can't stand it because I am so excited. I have hit the stage where I am just so ready to meet you and see your little face and body. Daddy is so excited for you to come as well. He asks me almost everyday when you are going to come. Soooo baby Stewart- any day now!!!
(Warning- the picture below is not just the angle folks...that is the real deal!)


We have your stroller....

Your bouncer chair is just in the family room waiting for you to come as well...

We have your car seat to bring you home from the hospital in...

And last but not least Grammy helped me get the cradle all set up right next to Mommy and Daddy's bed!

So as you can see we are all set and ready for you to come. Mommy has painted the letters of your name to go above the crib in your room but we are waiting to see your little face to make our final decision. I have your outfit all ready to go in our hospital bag. We can't wait for you to come!!!

Oh Ali I hope he comes soon. You are so ready. Your poor feet look so painful. Don't worry it will go away before you leave the hospital. Good Luck and keep us posted!

FYI~ you know the way the baby got in there is the way it gets out!!! Good Luck!

Yea you are soooo close! Holy smokes those are some swollen feet! Mine did that after my C-section, haha it was kinda fun for like a second! I am so excited for you and just want you to know that we over at the Miller home wish you the best of luck with the Labor and Delivery, don't be too scared. Plus I have that same stroller and car seat combo, and is the best you will love it! Good luck darlin! Love ya!

Luke and Marin said...

You are so cute, even if you have swollen feet! I can't wait to see pictures of your baby boy!!

Laura said...

Oh man, your feet look like they kill! Mine did the same thing with my first but the second time they didn't.
That is such a cute post and you need to print it and put it in his scrapbook. Especially the picture of your feet so if he is ever naughty (which I'm sure he never will be) you will have some leverage and show him what you went through for him. Can't wait to see pictures. Good Luck!

Oh man, Ali, Hang in there. My feet (all the way up to my calves) looked exactly the same way. I hate to tell ya, it kind of gets worse before it gets better. But oh so worth it in the end. You are right about to experience the very most amazing thing you will evr go through in your whole life. Enjoy it all. We will be thinking of you. Good Luck!
