Dear little boy blue,

It's 5am and I have been awake since 3.15am. Not because of you but you have kept mummy company since I woke up. I realise now why you won't kick much in the day. That's naughty, it's sleep time! I think you were hungry though so we have just had some peanut butter and honey toast, your favourite food in the whole wide womb!

We went to see you today but you still don't like the camera. I think you are so good looking you don't want to spoil the surprise. Not like your sister, she thought she was on TV!  Thanks for flashing your willy though, cheeky monkey. You are a big boy since mummy saw you last, 6 and a half weeks ago.

We can't believe it is only 17-19 weeks til we meet you. You look perfect and have a big swimming pool in there but when you come out here, you have millions of treats and toys. Lots of people want to meet you but they won't get a look in once mummy and daddy get a hold of you! You have more clothes than the two of us and are going to be our little disney man. By the way, you love the muppets, just so you know.

You are making mummy get super fat and you are getting strong now and doing big boy kicks. Not for daddy though. You are definately a mummy's boy but you should play with daddy too as he is the one who will be sneaking you sweeties all the time. I know you are mad because he keeps telling us to stop eating too many sweets and nice things, but it is just so you stay healthy and on the outside, he is the naughty one.

We have lots of plans for you. We are going to read millions of stories, and watch bear in the big blue house and play lots of games. When you get big, we will take you to Legoland and Alton Towers and next year, we want to take you on holiday. Mostly though, we want to give you big snuggles and kissies, until you hit us to get off.

Sorry I haven't played piano for you for a few days, I know you love it. When you are big, you can learn too. Daddy says you have to play football too. I've told him you want to be a doctor but he won't listen! He's a silly sausage but he loves you lots and is excited for playing cars.

Please get big and strong, and try to be more mellow at birth than your drama queen sister. If you have to come out the baby slide, please be quick too! Ellie is being your protector and will snuggle you in your cot when you get here and we will show you all her special things. Stay inside for at least 17 weeks though so you can be a big boy.

We are proud of you and your sister and we love you both millions, to the moon and back.

love,

Mummy
