Pregnancy - Week 24

Dear baby,
I was hoping to have an ultrasound picture of you today to post here, but I'm out of luck. In fact, I'm terribly disappointed with that whole doctor's appointment Daddy and I had this morning. You were fantastic, your little heartbeat was chugging as normal, but our doctor is rather rude, and rushes us all the time. The good thing that came out of today is that Daddy and I got the Whooping Cough vaccine, and I got my blood tested for all sorts of things that could be dangerous for you. So I'll have my results by tomorrow morning.
I didn't realize how important it was for me to be able to see you. I feel like crying about it now. I want to see how big you've gotten. I guess I'll just have to wait. Baby, the love I have for you has grown so much these past few months, not because I never loved you, but because I didn't expect to feel this way, so protective, so excited and so full of honest anticipation of you. I want to see you so badly it's eating away at me. I can see you kicking, raising your little body parts through my skin, and I can feel when you turn, do rotations, and have hiccups, but your face. I want to see it. I've dreamt of you so many times already. I'm sure your face as the rest of you will be perfect as pie. I just have zero patience.
I'm really tired today baby, and I don't feel like myself. I worked 14 hours yesterday and I'm so exhausted. I can't imagine the exhaust I'm going to feel after you're born and still not sleeping a full night. God help us all. I've been so cranky that I'm even aggrivating myself.
The good news is, you've given me a new-found resolve. I seem to be very productive these days. Procrastinating drives me crazy these days, so when I'm faced with something that needs to be done, I'll do my best to just get it done without putting it off. Procrastination has been a struggle of mine for many years. So thank you baby, I can see you changing me already! Also, I haven't been getting anxious at all, I'm more eager now than anything. I'm trying to slow down and enjoy our time together as one. Everyday I try to talk to you or sing to you, so you can get to know my voice. I don't know if it's working at all. I know that when I tap you sometimes, you tap back. So I know you can feel me. That's what's so cool baby. You can feel me too. At least when I directly touch you. You don't seem to like it much when I sleep on my side, but I have to according to my doctors. Being on my back for too long can limit your blood supply and restrict your oxygen. Plus it makes Daddy nervous, and I don't want to do that.

I love you son, and I'm so excited for the day that we meet.

Love,
Your Mommy
