Dear unborn baby,
I spent the morning at home with your big sister Ava today. She’s sick. Nothing serious, just a nagging fever and a few aches and pains. She and I watched movies together, and she painted a whole bunch of new paintings; I’ll get them online soon so you can see them when you arrive.
Your mom and I think Ava’s going to be a great big sister. You should know that she’s already very excited to meet you and start taking care of you. Warning: You may find her attention a bit cloying at times, but cut her some slack; she wanted a dog, after all, so count your blessings.
I figure if you end up being even half as sweet as Ava, we’ll be very, very lucky to have you. I’m really looking forward to seeing the two of you together. Hopefully Ava won’t follow through on her threats to dislike you if you’re a boy.
