Hi Baby,
Today I am 37 weeks! I am so excited that the time is getting close to see you! You are moving around like crazy and love to push on my bladder and kick in my ribs! I love feeling you, but it gets very uncomfortable. 37 weeks is considered full term and safe to have your baby, so therefore, feel free to come anytime! I am ready for you and so excited! Dad is very excited too. He talks to you through my belly and tells you he loves you. It is very cute. We can't wait for your arrival. I only have two days left of conferences, then I will really be anxious for you to be here! I don't want you to come before you are ready, but I am ready when you are!
Love you,
Mom

Name Letters
Hi Baby,
So I finally bought letters that spell your name, painted them, and hung them on the wall. Well, dad hung them on the wall for me, but they are cute. I hope you like them. Maybe they will help you learn to spell your name faster since it is a long name! I can't wait until you are here! 5 1/2 weeks until your due date, but I may see you earlier if you decide to join us sooner!
Love you,
Mom

Like your name?
Hi Baby,
You are growing so much. You move around a ton in my belly and my entire stomach moves. You are getting big and much stronger. You seem to like to kick up in my ribs and that kind of hurts and is very uncomfortable. I also don't think you like it when I am sitting. You prefer standing or laying, I believe, because you probably have more room that way. I can't wait to see you and have you here with us! I am getting really big and everyone thinks you will be here much earlier than expected, but we will see. I want you to stay in there as long as you need to, to make sure you are fully developed.
So, for the exciting news, I think we have a name for you. It's the first name we started with and after numerous times changing it, I think we are back with it. It is Bracken Shane Wootton. Dad had a best friend named Shane that passed away about 6 years ago, therefore your middle name. One of the students in 5th grade at my school is named Bracken and I liked that name a lot when I heard it, which is where we got your first name. This is not for sure yet, but it is something dad and I both agree on. Our other two choices for first names were Jaxon, but it is so common now and after we started thinking that we noticed tonz of little boys with that name so we ruled that one out. The other was Trexton, which I really like, but Trex is a type of decking material and dad thinks it would be weird to call you that (well and a lot of other people mentioned that too, but I really liked it). I hope you like your name and I hope it fits you!
Love You,
Mom
