39 Weeks.


Elliott:

Well, we're still waiting for you to make your debut.  This week you should be between 7 and 7.5 pounds, still about the size of a watermelon.  We celebrated Christmas this week. Our last Christmas as a family of two.  All anyone could talk about was how exciting next Christmas will be with you here.  You'll be the center of attention, I'm sure.

We went to see D. Chang yesterday, and to my disappointment, we had made no progress. Looks like you are nice and cozy for now.  He told us we could induce labor as early as tomorrow if we wanted, but your Daddy and I decided we want to wait and let you come when you're ready.  Either way, Dr. Chang won't let you stay in there longer than 1 week past your due date (Jan. 5th), so in two weeks or less you will be here for sure.

My maternity leave started this week, and it's a good thing, because I've come down with a cold, and haven't felt like doing much.  I've been trying to rest up, so I'll be all better when you arrive.

We hope to meet you soon,
Momma
