Dear Baby Bean-
I'm so sorry I haven't had the chance to write! The past week has been very busy and I just feel like there's been no time to slow down. At this pace, you will be here before I can blink my eyes. You are now estimated to be a little over 6 pounds which is fantastic- if you end up staying in a couple of more weeks you may end up being as big as your sister! For my sake, I hope you're a bit smaller but all that matters is that you are healthy.
This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend and it was a busy one. We spent all day Saturday getting ready for Baby Hoyle's sprinkle and then we went to the sprinkle on Sunday. It was so much fun! You and Baby Boy Hoyle are going to be great friends...your due dates are only three weeks apart! Finn and Tenley are already good friends and I think you guys will all have fun playing together in the years to come. Tenley was very excited because she got to come to Betty's house and play with "Baby Clark"...I think she was especially excited because she got to play with Baby Clark's toys. :) It was a great afternoon and we had a really nice time. Here is this week's belly pic- it's of me, you, Becky, Baby Hoyle, and Betty:
As you can see, Mommy is looking like she's about at the end of her rope. Some days I'm not sure that my stomach can stretch any further but it has to find a way- we still have 2.5 weeks left!
Monday was really fun- we went over to Auntie Carrie's house to play with her, Cammie and Ethan. Auntie's friend Michelle came over and brought her son, Owen, and we all went to Tyler's Tenders for lunch. You will LOVE Tyler's Tenders- it's all about trains! We ate lunch and then Tenley played with Owen, Cammie and Ethan and rode the choo choo train. It was such a fun time and we were very tired when we got home. We took a nap and spent the rest of the evening with Daddy.
Tuesday we had a biophysical profile with Dr. K. He says that everything is looking good with you except for the fact that you were very sleepy and took forever to get your movement points. He wasn't concerned because he said you're breathing like a champ- just wouldn't move. I still feel you moving all the time so I knew you were OK. Our next appointments with Dr. Losure and Bernie are Friday, so we will see if we've made any progress towards you getting out of my tummy!
Today was another really fun day. We got up and met Becky, Finn, Gus, and V at the park for a long play date. After we were done there, it was time to come home, shower, and eat lunch. After lunch, we drove out to Western Springs to go to a place called Little Monkey Bizness with Amber and Amethyst. Tenley and Amethyst had a blast playing in all the playhouses, going down the slides, and climbing all around. The two hours we spent there went so fast and before we knew it, it was time to come home and eat dinner. We finished off the day with a visit from Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jeff who brought Tenley a delicious ice cream cone. It was a great day!
Mommy is super, duper tired now. I am so happy you are getting bigger and ready to come out, but it really leaves Mommy exhausted at the end of the day. If I could just get your sister to go to sleep, then maybe I could do the same. I love you so much, Bean, and am SO EXCITED to meet you in just a couple of short weeks!
