Dearest Claire,
You are due to enter our lives in 3.5 months and are growing by leaps and bounds. You are much more active, kicking mommy constantly, and you finally kicked daddy! Well, we're guessing you kicked me...I still think it was a high five for your father.
We have picked out most of your 'baby appliances' which we should soon be purchasing. Daddy doesn't mind the delay, because he can procrastinate building them that way. It seems fair don't you think? Mommy is building you, so I will build all the goodies for you.
Not much longer here and your father will be turning into a prince. Not because I used to be a frog and your mother kissed me, but rather because soon I will be helping put shoes on your mother, as your awesome existence will makes those tasks more challenging. Don't worry, you will be well versed in Disney movies.
So many friends and family members are blessing us with gifts for you. We will do our best not to spoil you (as parents) but no promises for the grand parents...who are waiting to pounce on you with love and presents. Beware the grandmothers who want to dress up their grand daughters.
Mommy says she hopes you have the Birt eyes (we have blue eyes). I hope if you do, that the rest of you looks like Mommy. Because let's be honest, your mother being a foxy lady is part of the reason you are arriving. I am sure you will agree about your mom's beauty.
What are your favorite colors? I guess it is a little too soon to ask you personally, so I will tell you. Based on your gifts so far, your favorite colors are 'pink', 'dallas cowboy/ cal bears blue' and 'gender neutral'. Gender neutral is very in right now & chic.
I got you a pink 'storm pooper' onesie for the trip home from the hospital (if mommy lets me). I have also recently concluded, that baby bowel movements are irrefutable proof of God's humorous side. So just in case you run into someone saying 'God is always angry'...you can always remind them that babies poop.
Well, daddy will probably conclude this letter for now. You are so very loved by both mommy & daddy. I will write to you again very soon.
Love always,
Daddy
P.S. As you will learn, Star Wars is one of your father's favorite movies. 'A New Hope' was the first entry in the series. And to ensure I don't infringe any copyrights, you Claire Bear are our 'newer hope' which is the reason for the blog title.
