The Little Rookie: *hiccup*

With only five more weeks until my expected arrival, Mama and Papa are getting more and more excited. *hiccup* Mama keeps saying she wonders what I look like. Well, right now I look like a wrinkled prune, but once I get all dry and cleaned up, everyone will get to see what a cutie I am! *hiccup*

I must say, it's nice in here and all, but I'm starting to feel kind of squished. There's hardly any room to do my stretches and turns. *hiccup* The last few days, I think I've been kicking Mama too hard because I heard her say a couple of times, "Ouch! Take it easy in there." *hiccup* Oops, I guess I don't know my own strength. Well, I am getting bigger, you know. *hiccup* At our last appointment, the doctor said he thought I was going to be about 7 to 7 1/2 pounds when I come out. We'll see how good his prediction is. *hiccup*

Excuse me for all my hiccuping. *hiccup* I can't help it. Mama says I get the hiccups once or twice a day. *hiccup*

In other news, last Saturday Mama and I went to see Papa's softball game. We had a lot of fun cheering on Papa. There were a lot of other moms and kids there too cheering for their dads. Anyway, Papa played great! Papa said he's going to teach me to play ball as soon as I'm old enough to hold a bat. I can't wait!
