Baby Week 27

Dear Baby,

The weeks seem to mesh together now. You are pretty much done developing and are just going to continue to grow. Daddy can tell that you're growing because he can definitely see Mommy's tummy getting bigger. Even though she doesn't like it much, Daddy loves to tickle Mommy's tummy...he claims he is just trying to tickle you. He also loves to pretend to kiss her stomach as he is kissing you goodnight but he always ends up blowing you raspberries. He does that almost every night...Mama should have figured that out by now and not let him do it anymore because he leaves her a little slobber to wipe off.

As your hearing is developing you should begin to recognize voices. You can definitely tell your Daddy's voice because you get excited when you hear him talk. You must know his hands too because just like a few weeks ago, you love to tease him. Almost everyday you are moving around like a wild man and as soon as Daddy comes to feel, you stop. He feels sad sometimes when you do that, but mostly he thinks its funny that you two can already play games together.

Mama felt you get hiccups a few weeks ago, but this week this week you got them several times. She woke up one morning to you hiccuping and the next day you got them when Mommy was trying to work. She loves to feel you constantly moving and kicking, especially at work...you keep her entertained.

You must take after your Papa Olsen a little bit because you already love golfing...well you at least love miniature golfing! Mommy and Daddy went over the weekend and you had so much fun! You were moving around like crazy, as if you were having the time of you life, AND you helped Mama beat Daddy!!!!! She hardly ever beats him at anything, but you were a big help! She beat him only by one stroke, but still...she beat him fair and square!

Daddy hates your Mama's pregnancy sleeping pillow...and actually Mama isn't a huge fan either. As Mommy was getting ready for bed earlier this week, Daddy took the pillow and punched it a few times. He says it is taking his place. He can't get very close to Mama and cuddle with her because of the big pillow and he does not like that at all!!! Mommy isn't a huge fan of it because it keeps her laying on her side. Yes, she knows that is the one of the purposes of the pillow, but she isn't fond of sleeping on her side. She would rather sleep on her stomach or back any day! Sometimes she cheats and throws the pillow off the bed in the middle of the night, but so far, the only three leg cramps she's gotten has been on those nights where she sleeps on her back for several hours...she thinks there is a correlation.

Your Mommy and Daddy love to sit together and imagine what you will be like. Daddy thinks you'll be a “ball of fire,” just like your Mama. They already love you so much and they can't wait to see you and meet you! Just about three more months until you come to say hi to them. That seems like a long time, but oh boy, if it's anything like the first three months of this year, that time will fly by! Just so you know...you probably won't have a name until your born...Daddy is being very picky!!
