Baseball and Baby Stuff!

Dear Kalvin,

Here you are 22 weeks old now!

To celebrate we went to our ward Christmas breakfast and got free Kneaders French Toast. Needless to say, you approved! Because who doesn't love Kneaders French Toast?

There was an ugly sweater contest and your father won!!

His sweater gives warm snow man hugs!

So sometimes I get really tired from trying to keep up with your sister. She has a lot of spunk and energy that I don't have.

I went in to her room one day after her nap and found her like this. She was totally out, and covered in her blanket.

Most days, this is how I fell inside, crashed and exhausted. Unfortunately, you are also full of energy and spunk so you dance on my bladder and keep me awake.

Here you are at 23 weeks of age!

Your dad and I were laying in bed one night and I had this sudden realization… I keep thinking that once the new year comes, I still have 4 months of pregnancy. But it hit me, that you're due in the middle of April (hopefully sooner) and although April is the 4th month, it will not be a full month!!

Seriously.

Pregnancy brain is so real for me. How am I 5 months pregnant, and just now realizing that it won't be 4 full months!? But it was so great. I can't even tell you how excited I am to have a newborn again.

Between all the sleepless nights, being thrown up on, long hard days, and all the gross stuff you don't want to know about, your dad and I absolutely LOVED having a baby around. Children bring so much joy to your father. He loves to teach you silly things, listen to your giggles and for you, dream of throwing a baseball with you!

And it's great for me because it also helps him release energy! Win, win, win! We all win!

The day we found out that you are a boy, we went to Target to find an outfit for you… We were trying to find a onsie that had little baseballs all over it, unfortunately we didn't find one.

So we went to Hobby Lobby instead and bought a giant baseball wall decoration. Your dad is so excited to infuse all things baseball into your life!

Then, a few nights later we went to my cousins house and she gave us your first gift and guess what it was? A onsie with little baseballs all over it!!!! Your father is soooo excited!

And here is one of your dads favorite Calvin and Hobbes comics:

We love you kiddo!

Love,

Mom and Dad
