Dear Kalvin,
37 Weeks!
Kacie and I have been leaving the house a little bit more than usual since daddy bought his moped so we have been in search of good parking spots. It has truly been a a blessing at how many places I have been able to find a close to the front parking spot! Seriously, the last month of pregnancy is hard and I have been waddling a lot!
Then I got a charlie horse one night in my right leg and now I have a limp on top of my waddle.
So one day I was holding Kacie, walking into the grocery store. You've discovered a button in their somewhere and you kick it randomly. The button then turns off my leg and I can't really walk. So I am in the middle of the road, and my leg stops working all the sudden. Kacie is heavy and I was freaking out!
In the middle of the road.
Luckily, it only lasted a few seconds but it was so lame! I'm just glad I didn't collapse or something. Anyway, we are going to try and spend less time outside until you're born.
Except not really cause I'm getting anxious!

When I was pregnant with Kacie, I don't really remember people saying things about me being pregnant unless they knew for sure that I was. Maybe I have just forgotten but this time around I get strangers saying things about being pregnant all the time. I decided though that even though it's a little strange, it's more of a compliment. People are confident enough that I am pregnant, not fat, to say something so I suppose that is a good thing…right?!
Since we didn't have another kid when I was pregnant with Kacie, we had a lot more time to just lay around and think about her. Don't get me wrong, I think about you all the time because you constantly remind me you're there! But I mean like what you're going to look like or when you're going to start walking or what your first word will be. Things like that.
But the other day I was thinking about it and I am so excited to see what you look like, what color of hair and eyes you will have, if you'll be tall or short. Are you going to be shy and scared of strangers or walk up to them and stuff your face in their business like your sister does.
Your dad and I both hope you have blonde hair like Calvin! OH! And we found a Hobbes doll for you! My cousin's mother in law makes them and they are so cute! So we are excited about that!
My appointment on Tuesday was kind of exciting. They told me I was about 1 centimeter dilated and 70% effaced. I'm so anxious and getting nervous about your arrival! I've done this before but it will be completely different this time around and that kind of scares me! I trust my doctors though, it is just weird to be doing this again.
Your dad and I realized that if I'm induced on the 10th, we only have one Friday left!
Wow. That's awesome!
I want to get to know you and start celebrating silly milestones like first smile, first giggle, holding your head up, reaching your toes, solid foods, etc.
We've been trying to get Kacie to recognize words like 'brother' and 'sister' and 'Kalvin' and 'sibling.' It sometimes seems that she just points to my belly and says 'baby' because we taught her that. But today, she saw a picture of a baby and then pointed to my stomach and said 'baby' so I'm not 100% sure that she doesn't understand that you are on the way. I mean, she's only been here on earth for 21 months so maybe she's a bit more in tune than we think she is!
I still think I'm farther along than the doctors say I am (what do they really know) so even though I am 37 weeks, I think I am 38 weeks. These last two weeks are going to be super long, but also really fast!
I hope you're as excited for your arrival as we are!
We love you son!!
