Dear Baby Bennett:
Hey there mama's sweet bouncing baby boy! We're six months along on this journey you and I! We have approximately 106 days before we get to see your sweet face! Mommy can hardly wait! These days I feel your kicks like never before! We'll need to work on your sleep patterns some so you can distinguish between day and night!!!! Your favorite time to wake up and greet the day is 9 p.m.! That's mommy's bed time or within an hour an a half later of that. I know you'll change all of that, but I am excited!!!!
Your bedroom/nursery is practically done! I hope you like it! You and I will spend lots of time in there! We'll bond together! We'll have midnight feedings, afternoon naps, diaper changes, and play time too! Memories! There'll be lots of those to make once you're here! You're daddy is SO EXCITED! He can hardly wait to see you either! He's already making plans on teaching you the important things in life like fishing, golf, hunting, and all the manly things that you boys do!!! Shhh! Don't tell dad but I can hardly wait to see the expression on his face when he sees you for the first time!!!!! We're getting closer and closer for sure!
The sonographer teased us again, that's the lady who kept trying to get you to move so she could take pictures of you in mommy's tummy. I know you don't like her too much. Don't worry son, they tell me you won't have to have your picture taken in mommy's tummy any more unless it's just necessary. No more interrupting your nap time!!! :) She asked us who has red hair in our family? Now the mystery remains...will you have red hair?!!!! Daddy has strawberry blonde hair. We'll just have to wait and see!!!!!!
Oh mama's sweet boy, I'm so incredibly thankful to God that He's given you to us! The anticipation is about to drive me nuts. Waiting isn't one of mama's strong points, but the wait isn't much longer now!!!! I will finally get to hold you in my arms, kiss your little cheeks and introduce you to many people who can't wait to meet you!!!
Until then, stay warm and safe, and just keep swimming!!!!! 106 days and counting! Mommy loves you!
All my love,
Mommy
