Dear Baby,

Do you know how hard it is not to tell all of our friends and family about you? We’re so excited to be able to share the news, but we’re going to wait a little bit longer still.

Mama hasn’t been feeling well. That’s pretty common when a Mama is making a baby inside her, but she pushes through it like a trooper every day. I’m very proud of her, and I try to help her feel better. Do you know why she does it though? Because you’re worth it.

Did you know that you have a tail? Yes, you have a tail! Don’t worry, it’s not a tail like a doggy tail or a monkey tail, but it is just the tip of your coccyx (pronounced KOK-siks), which is the bottom part of your spinal column. It is the only part of you that is getting smaller instead of bigger, and it will be gone in a few more weeks. Isn’t that interesting?

Speaking of growing, WOW you grew a lot this week! You are now about the size of a delicious plump blueberry!

Love,

Dad
