You are currently 33 weeks gestational age. Your head is definitely in position for delivery, and we hope you stay in there for at least 5 more weeks (let mom finish school!). Right now, I am taking Biochemistry, Microbiology, Spanish, and Speech. So fun! Within the last few weeks, dad has come home from his almost month-long trip to Yakima Training Center. We have had your 3D/4D ultrasound done twice, and my are you handsome =) Dad thinks you look like me, so does your grandma. I think you have your grandma liza's nose...your dad thinks you have mine. Oh well, you're screwed anyways because we both have big noses hahaha!
We've also decided that we both agree on your name to be Elijah. Both of your grandmothers love it, in fact, they suggested them before we even told them we wanted to name you that. As for your second name, your dad is adamant on naming you Elijah Derek...he will deny that it is from Derek Jeter, but it is pretty much his second love of his life, outside of me. You will soon replace both of those titles!
We're also starting the production of your baby room this week, with a NYY theme. If you don't know it, you're pretty much being born and bred into a fan. Your grandfather from your dad's side gave your dad $100 to order the MLB network (which costs $200) this week so that you can both watch it together. We can't wait to take you to a game! Half of your baby clothes are NYY affiliated so far. You poor thing, I hope you never tell your dad you hate the Yankees because he will cry.
The highlights in the news this week are 1) Prince William and Kate Middleton got married. 2) Osama Bin Laden is confirmed dead 3) 250+ tornadoes swept the Midwest of the U.S., killing over 300 people so far at this time. Osama's death marks a period of great jubilation for your father and I as it is of great symbolism to our serving the nation. I am not sure how I will feel if you decide that you want to join the military some day, but I obviously can not oppose to it at this time. Your dad and I joined at some of the worst times in America, and have witnessed many things we did not want to see. I hope that by the time you are able to read this, the world has become a better place.
In other rambling news, Sunny, our cat, was able to play outside in the back yard with a new leash dad got her. She is a trip to watch, and I hope that she can live long enough for you to play with. She is one sassy cat! I keep telling your dad how much I wish they invented steroids so she can live longer. Yah, I'm nuts. =)
Ok baby, till next time. We love you, and hope you hibernate as long as possible! Your dad wants you to be born on my birthday so he only has to remember one. Oh geez!
Oh yah, your cousin, Luke Edward Peckham, is due two weeks before you are. How awesome is that? We will all have to meet as soon as we all can.
