dear baby boy,
yesterday you ceased to be an "it" and revealed yourself as a little male person to which we can give a name. don't worry. your name will be a surprise to everyone else until you are born. it's going to be especially tough on grandma s. she wants to know your name now.
your daddy and i have been talking about names since before we even decided to have you. thank mommy that you didn't end up a giacomo, duke, romeo or cassanova. no offense to anyone with one of the aforementioned names.
love,
mama

people have told me that it will all feel real after this ultrasound. not so, joe. it feels even more surreal. my belly keeps growing and i'm feeling movement more and more often, but i can't wrap my brain around the fact that there is another life in my abdomen. it just doesn't make sense. obviously i know how he got there, but it still doesn't feel like reality. the 16 pounds i've gained? just a little extra ice cream, that's all. straight to the three b's- boobs, butt and belly.
