Hi Julius,

Your daddy and I are visiting Virginia right now to see his family. Your grandmother (on your daddy’s side) has saved us lots of baby boy clothes that were passed down by your aunt Ebony. We have sooo many clothes and a lot of them are new or hardly worn at all. None of them look “worn” and none of them have stains or any icky stuff. They look brand new if you ask me! And we have nearly 2 or 3 giant trunks full of them now! We have so many cool clothes for when you’re really young and even up to a year old. We’ll still need more of course, but it feels so nice to have all these. It will save us a lot of money! There are so many things we need to prepare for your arrival, but at least we’ve got the basics.

I’m now 22 weeks pregnant with you. You’ve been kicking and kicking and kicking. Most of the time you kick when I’m hungry and SHOULD be eating. And you also kick whenever I’m just resting on my back with my head propped up on a few pillows. When I’m in that position, both me and daddy can feel you kick kick kicking!

You also kick when I’m “picking on” daddy and joking with him. You usually kick at the EXACT moment that the punchline gets delivered. It’s sooo funny. I’ll say to daddy, “Even Julius agrees with me! He’s kicking!”

Love
Mommy
