36 weeks

Dear Kalvin,

You are 36 weeks today! I am definitely feeling it!

I'm stoked for my appointment on Tuesday. That will be the first of checking for dilation and effacement and then we go to weekly appointments. It's coming up fast!

My hips are hurting so bad and I randomly can't walk all the sudden. Like the other day I was in the middle of the road, holding Kacie and my left leg cramped up (or something) and I literally couldn't walk without immense pain shooting up and down my leg. It was so weird and could have potentially been very embarrassing had it not gone away shortly after it started.

I am pretty sure I am having Braxton Hicks contractions because my belly gets super tight and I feel like I can't stand all the way. I definitely didn't have those with Kacie! 

We took this picture in our spring outfits cause we just looked so cute. It would have been much cuter though if you had been in my arms and not my belly… although, I am a pretty cute pregnant lady aren't I?! And also, I wanted a picture of our little family because pretty soon it will be a bigger family and that's just weird!

Most days I am in a good mood but some days I just don't want to wear pants and then EVERYONE comes to the door and I have to be dressed. Anyway, I just think this is funny because I seriously feel like this when people need me.

Your Aunt Ang sent this to me and it is the funniest thing ever! "You will shout, you will yell" I think we will both be doing that and I can't wait to hear your little yells and cries. 

I remember with Kacie I really felt like she would NEVER come. I would sit around the house thinking of having a baby around and then about having a toddler around. Well, now, I already now what that is like, and even though it seems like a long ways away, I know that the day will come soon that we will be in the hospital for your arrival.

Don't get me wrong, dad and I are both very anxious to have you here. We talk about it a lot and every time you kick my rib I count the hours until you will be here. We are so excited for this next step in life because Kacie brings us so much joy. We just can't imagine how much better it will be to have another adorable child around!

I'm positive we will be exhausted and you won't be the same as Kacie, but even on those hard days, the joy just out weighs the bad.

Once you're here, daddy will then graduate and then we will move to a new home and state. There will be a lot of changes happening this summer with the move and it is so exciting to think of you being with us too.

Maybe ease up a little on those flips you're doing in there. But keep growing and stay inside there at least until April 3rd! But not too long after that cause I keep having that not-being-able-to-walk pain that shoots down my leg, and that makes it a little difficult to take care of Kacie!

We love you!!

Daddy & Mommy
