Just look at how big you're getting. Honestly, I think it's a wonder that my body is still holding you in there. They say you're 5 1/2 lbs. They also say that if you came out now, your little body would be just fine to work on its own. But I think you like it in there. We'll stick it out for a few more weeks, you and I ... those extra chubs are important.
These days, you get the hiccups a lot - which makes me laugh. And you dropped extra low last week - which makes me waddle. Oh, and we got in trouble a bit at our last appointment. Apparently, iron is not one of our strong points. It's a good thing I love you lots baby, because those iron injections are not going to be fun. The new york strip steak for breakfast is kind of a nice perk though.
Just so you know, I think about you all the time. And sometimes {when I get to sleep} I have dreams about you too. My favorite is the one where you are just lying between your dad and I on our bed. And we play with your toes. {I can't wait to see those perfect toes!} Your dad is so excited to meet you little boy. He tells me almost every day. His favorite thing is your tiny socks. And I even saw his YouTube profile one day - all of his recently watched videos were how-to's on swaddling babies. He's gonna be a good dad don't you think?
I can't wait to see you my little E. And hold you. And smell you {I hear you're gonna have the best smell in the whole world}. I'm ready to birth you too. You are perfect. Just right for my body. And I can't wait to go though that experience together.
I love you!
See you in a few weeks,
Mama

Man, was that ever sweet. You guys are going to make simply lovely parents. What a lucky little man he is to join your family.
So sweet! This makes me so excited for what lies ahead of me. :) Enjoy your last weeks.
Awwww.... that's so sweet!!!!
Aw, I love it! It's great that YouTube has videos on how to swaddle a babe! I wrote about how I had to learn how to drape a sari off YouTube just the other day. Amazing!
so sweet and looking good!

This is such a sweet post : )
You two sound as if you are going to be wonderful parents!
I love that you signed it "Mama."
Not many people are "Mama" anymore!
My iron was crazy-low w/ all the babies too. Like the midwife looks at me and says, "That's the lowest I've ever seen ...." ;) GL w/ those injections!
little E? do you already have a name picked out???
the sweetest thing i've ever read

So sweet =-)
Get ready for the most amazing adventure of your life. No one has made me smile like my little man. And my boys together? The best.
Treasure these last few weeks--it's such a special time to reflect and prepare and love. You look gorgeous!
This is the most perfect post ever. And I think that might be my favorite picture of your preggo belly out of them all! So sweet.

oh i am soooo excited for you. i want to rewind and go through birth/the first two months all over again after reading this! oh, and pregnancy too. it's so darn special.
i was low on the iron spectrum too. i didn't need injections but i did up my spinach--a spinach smoothie (with banana, almond milk)... i tried for that once a day. i think it did the trick.
good luck with the last bits!
um, am I a big fat softie or what?
this is so sweet. teary, man, teary!!!
love,

Ahhh, what beautiful memories you stir up for me. Having babies is one of the most lovely experiences (one of the absolute hardest, terrifying and heartbreaking as well) but the loveliness always wins. Continue to enjoy the sweet time you are having before baby. You'll never have it again. This was a great post to start my day with. thanks.
aww Sydney, this was so sweet.. This post is going to be so great to look back on once you have your little babes. As for Tyson, you picked a good one. Its so great that is just as excited as you are and is secretly watching youtube tutorials. love it. as always, you look beautiful. pregnancy has made you glow.
So cute! He'll be the perfect little addition to your family :)

I can't tell you how much I love this... it's truly wonderful. So special, too. I think you should make your [not-so-little] son read this when he's 20 -- I'm sure he'll love it.
This is the GREATEST experience you'll EVER have. You'll only have your first once! Laboring and birthing your child is the most wonderful experience and my FAVORITE part! You are going to ENJOY it immensely:) Have Fun, cant wait to see baby E.....
Such a beautiful letter. That's one very lucky baby to have so much love in his life before he's even born. :)

And hope when he decides to arrive it goes smooth and you're both healthy!!

Just Better Together
Before I mention how incredibly sweet your letter is, I have to tell you that you look gorgeous! You may not feel that you but you truly do.
and baby toes... eek.. cute cute cute. I am constantly telling my son that I'm going to eat his toes and now he actually lifts up his feet toward me so I can do so.
So excited for you Sydney! You're gonna be a great mom, good luck with everything :)
your sweet little words made my eyes water :) You and Tys are going to be such wonderful parents, such happiness.

a few weeks!?!? my goodness!
You are a stunning pregnant woman. I also think you and Tyson are going to be amazing parents. This was really touching to read. Thanks for sharing something so personal.
I love the attitude with which you're approaching the delivery itself. You go, Sydney! God made your body to bring this little miracle into the world, and you better believe he's going to give you the strength to get through the experience--and be changed for the better because of it.
awwww....he is going to be a great daddy!
AWW! this is so sweet! You guys are going to be amazing parents!
as if i wasn't baby crazy enough you have to go and make being pregnant sound even more adorable and perfect than i've imagined. stop that.
This is the sweetest thing ever! It brought a tear to my eye. This little guy is the luckiest baby in the world to have parents who love him so much already! Good luck with those iron injections.

I love this... I kept thinking to my little baby girl (almost 3 months old now) "just stay in there and grow and get big and beautiful." Well, she stayed in there 20 extra days! But she sure is BEAUTIFUL now:)

You are such a beautiful pregnant woman. Some women carry it well, others not so much! I don't comment often, but I love reading you daily! Best of luck with the finishing of your pregnancy :)
I am so excited for you! I know this is your first, and it is such a special experience. I'm having my 3rd, and I am 35 weeks so we are due around the same time I think. Keep on dreaming, and get ready to get love drunk on your baby's smell. It truly is the best. thing. ever. I cannot ever get enough of the little spot in their neck right in the soft, squishy folds of yumminess. It never gets old. Enjoy!
This is so sweet. I swear you just get prettier and prettier with your pregnancy. Also, I'm in the DC area (along with plenty of your other followers), and I vote you (and maybe in combination with Naomi Davis) have another get-together with your fans out here! I'd be happy to help organize it :)
Hello S.! I'm from Portugal and I've been following your site. You are a beautiful mama! Congratulations!
I just loved to read this post, it's full of love and peace!

I just love this picture of you. You and your husband are going to be such wonderful parents!
OMG... Sidney.. your letter to your baby chump is so heart felt and so honest. My husband and I want to get pregnant. Although I am very excited, I get scared at times. Reading your blog and how happy you sound makes me so happy because I know we will be just like that. Seeing how cute you dress up makes me confidant that I won't look like a potato bag. Keep up that awesome way of writing and your down to earth chic.
that was so beauitful <3
teared up - thank you! that is totally how it is...thanks for the reminder : )
Maybe I'm ridiculous but this made me cry! I got so excited to be a mom one day. You're going to be a great one.
So, so, sweet!! You two are the cutest!! Precious!!! (:
This is so sweet! He's going to love looking back and reading things like this...I mean, you're going to have these printed...right?!
PS-you look adorable!
