Letter to “Coconut”
Dearest Coconut,
We hit an important milestone this week: we are officially 2/3 of the way to your arrival. Your dad and I could not be more excited. We are busy getting your room ready. These scraps of paper are from the labels on your book baskets. We already enjoy reading to you, but we look forward to the day you’ll be able to see the pictures…
Your dad just celebrated his 28th birthday by planning a scavenger hunt at IKEA. Almost 30 of our friends came–so much fun! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Your dad is with his brothers (your uncles) and his parents (your grand-parents). I’m in Houston with my best friend, Andy. Andy and I just found a very beautiful Indian mirror for your room.
You are growing so much and I feel you moving around constantly. I haven’t gotten tired of feeling you move and watching my belly shift. I look forward to holding you soon…
Love,
Your mom
