Dear Mark,

Sweetie -

The house is so quiet and feels so much emptier without you & Stoli here to keep me company. Fortunately, I will get to see Stoli tomorrow and you again on Friday! Thank goodness for family and short business trips.

At least Baby is here to keep me guessing. Remember a few weeks ago when I said Baby's movements felt like a fish suddenly whipping around and swimming away in an aquarium? Well it's not so tonight. These days, Baby is too big to make such large movements in this small aquarium. Tonight, I'm quite certain that Baby is just as ready to meet us as we are to meet our love. Tonight, Baby feels like it's trying to kick and claw its way out... through my belly button. It's the weirdest feeling ever. And I'm sure that in another 3 weeks... when my skin has stretched to its utmost limits... if Baby keeps this up, it will do just that.

Come home soon. I miss you.

Love,
me
