Dear Mimi,
Has it really been 5 months since we had our last chat? Time says it has but I hear your sweet voice in my head all the time... While I'm stirring a batter in the kitchen "Why don't you let Mimi do that, Sweet?"... When I chew gum after a meal, "It helps your food digest." ... When I watch The Notebook, "That is just the best movie. I don't know why they won't make The Wedding into a movie, too." ... When I get a picture of Rowan, "(laughing) I could just eat him up!" You are so much a part of who I am and I will be forever blessed that I got you for my Mimi. I would have delighted in seeing you with sweet BabyLove, but I have a feeling you and Dado have been over to visit him and Ava a time or two; ) Give them both the biggest hugs y'all have and I feel pretty sure you will get big hugs right back. We miss you down here every day, but I'm confident we will see each other again! I love you with all my heart=)
Love,
Sweet Claire
PS. You tried your best to hide your love of my first four-legged baby, Jackson, but don't worry. We always knew the truth; ) And I guess I finally give you permission to give him some of your heavenly table scraps!
PSS. What about those Dawgs this year at the CWS?? Did you and Dado have a talk with the Big Guy or something?? ; )

Weeks? 38 weeks
Gender? Boy oh boy!
Favorite thing to wear this week? At this point, whatever fits!
Favorite thing to eat this week? Apple Jacks! (Let's pretend it has the same nutritional value of REAL apples.)
Sleeping? Yes-ish. I wake up constantly to change positions, which sounds like no big deal, but since I have to adjust all three pillows with each position change, it kinda turns into an ordeal.
Baby Movement? Yes! His favorite thing to move are his heels... Right up in my ribs.
What makes you sick? Being HOT and/or getting full! Ick!
Labor Signs? Nope. No dilation or effacing or any of the other words that could imply labor is approaching. Boo! Not saying I want to go into labor this second but hey! I'm totally fine if my body wants to go ahead and dilate a little without the contractions
Stretch marks? It is with much sadness that I have to answer this question with a yes. Grrrrr. Body! You only had a few weeks left! Why oh why did you have to let me down on this one?? Oh well... I guess things could always be worse!
Belly Button? I say "in" but Khiron says "out." Good thing I'm answering these questions! Hehe
Wedding rings? Engagement ring is still on=) it's just fitting a little more snug.
Mood? My mood still has that schizo vibe... I get anxious that I still have 2 weeks... I wish he would unhook his heels from my ribs... I annoy myself when I realize I'm kind of waddling instead of walking... I hate that my feet are pretty much as long as they are wide (my husband on the other hand gets quite amused by this little fact).. But mostly, I am so excited and in love with this little guy in my belly.
Doctor update: I am still only dilated a fingertip which basically means no action is happening. Unless BabyLove has some excitement planned during the next nine days, then we will be meeting our little sweetness on August 6th! Woop woop =)
Best thing that happened this week? Lots and lots of Rowan time... Loving every second!
I can’t wait to: meet ARCHER SIM HARRIS. Dang! Is it August 6th, yet?!?
