Dear Squishy...

Hello in there little one!

I'm so excited to meet you. I feel like I know nothing and yet everything about you. I know you like to wriggle around when you hear your daddy's horrendous dubstep music playing, and that if we try and poke and prod to make you move you like to be a little monkey and keep super still. I know you are growing faster than the doctors thought and that they predict you will be a big baby (we'll see!). And I know that I already love you with all of my heart.

But are you a boy or a girl? What will we call you and will you like your name? Will you have blue eyes and light brown like me and your daddy? Will you be creative and musical like me? Will you be a computer games addict like your daddy? And will you join our growing clan of Doctor Who fans?

According to your predicted date of arrival we have about 8 and a half weeks to go until we finally get to all have snuggles together. Your daddy, your big sister and I are so excited to see you! Will you be on time? I don't mind so long as you are healthy and happy.

I am looking forward to the future when we can bake cakes together and play on the swings at the park. I'm looking forward to all of your firsts! Your first holiday, your first time in the swimming pool, your first ice cream (how much mess will you manage to make?), your first day at school, shopping for your first shoes...

So keep growing Squishy. Be healthy. Be happy. And remember you are always loved.

Love Mummy x
