We’re in the hospital right now. You decided you wanted to start coming about 8:20 this evening, right after your big sister went to bed. Your mom had a couple pieces of veggie pizza (hold onions) from Pagliai’s, and the next thing you know, it’s contraction city.
We’re at the hospital as I type [...]

Our due date came and went with no baby. I think we were both expecting this scenario, but it does ratchet up the anxiety a bit. At our last appt., Leah’s doctor offered to have Leah come by the hospital today to “get checked,” and I think Leah might avail herself of that [...]

Hello, unborn baby. You get to hear this noise all the time, I guess, but it’s a real treat for your mom and me to hear it:
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the doc says this is 145 beats per minute. That means you’re a girl. Congratulations, Demi Jolie Palmberg. We’ll [...]

Hey, unborn baby.
According to your mom’s doctor this morning, your window on the world has just started to open a little bit. This is pretty exciting news, for a couple reasons. One, it means we’re nearing the end of this pregnancy. This means you’re almost here. It also means it’s the [...]

Hi, unborn baby. I wanted to show you a picture of what your mom looks like right now:
It’s kinda funny, huh? It looks like a basketball under there! Unfortunately for your mom, that belly is a lot heavier than a basketball. You haven’t been moving around as much lately, but it’s [...]

We’ve got it, unborn baby! Though I will stipulate that your mother is not so thrilled lately as the rest of us. We got a new video camera last week that we plan to use to capture all sorts of totally unnecessary footage of your early weeks and months of development; I used [...]

Hola, unborn baby.
Well, things are speeding up. We’re going to see your mom’s doctor once a week now instead of twice a week. We had an appointment this morning, which your big sister attended, and everything looked fine. Ava held the sonogram device while we all listened to your heartbeat. She [...]

Me again, unborn baby.
I thought you might enjoy hearing a funny thing your mom said today. She and I were talking via IM about switching up our usual pizza night to accommodate the fact that I’ll be out of town on Thursday. Your mom’s been feeling frustrated lately with comments people have been [...]
