Dear Baby Dargis

Dear Baby Dargis,
I can scarcely believe you will be here in 8 short weeks! (you know how mommy likes to be punctual, so don't get any ideas!) You are already super active, stretching and doing sommer saults all the time! I make jokes that you are already your dad's son because you never sit still. You've been getting the hiccups a lot lately which right after I get annoyed that you are keeping me from much-coveted-sleep, I smile because I know that it means that you are healthy and developing normally. You prefer my right side, which your dad jokes is because the left side is "the ghetto" of my womb... I tell him he's ridiculous. Unfortunately my right side is where my appendectomy scar is and has caused me a lot of pain. The doctor says it's because the scar tissue is stuck to my abdominal muscles which has caused tearing... this is also why I'm dependent on this ridiculous belly brace, which lets face it, is not the most attractive accessory! But even on the days when I hurt a lot and your dad has to push me off the couch, I know through every moment of every day that you are worth it. :)

Everyone is very excited for your arrival... your adopted aunt Amanda is coming to see you right after your born and your Grandma and uncle Kyle are coming to spend Christmas with you. And then of course, all the Dargis clan plans to oooohhhh and ahhhhh over you in Mexico, your first trip outside of the country! You'll get to meet your cousin Gabby then too! Unfortunately, you'll have to wait longer to meet your cousin Lane and your aunt Shelly and uncle Shannon, but they are just as excited to meet you via skype! Not to mention your Grandma Joyce is going to take time off work (a very big deal) to come help you get settled!

Your room is almost completely done which your dad says is the nicest room in the house... which might be true because none of the others are really finished yet. We get more and more ready to meet you with each passing day; your dad tells me frequently to "hurry up and make him a baby!" :) I already get teary eyed thinking about the day I actually get to hold you... and then I full on cry when I think about how quickly you'll grow up. We can't wait for the added joy and blessings that we know you'll bring to our lives.

We love you and can't wait to meet you.
Love,
Mom & Dad
