Dear Ben,
It is almost time to meet you! The time has just flown by. Daddy and I have been really busy...Daddy's been working a lot lately. I just finished up teaching for the summer break but now it is "baby time." You have been moving a lot, but I can tell you are running out of room...it's okay little guy, you will have plenty of room to stretch out in your beautiful nursery when you decide to make your debut!
At my last appointment, everything was measuring perfectly. Dr. W. decided to schedule you to be induced on Monday, June 9th (that is if you don't come on your own in the next week.)
I can't wait to see you...Will you have brown hair? Blonde hair? or even Red Hair? Blue eyes? Brown eyes? Curly hair? Straight hair? Will you be fair skin like mommy or tan like daddy?
Either way you are...You are fearfully and wonderfully made! God has created you for a purpose.
Here is your precious nursery. The room we created just for you! My favorite thing about your nursery is all of the handmade items. You are our little American Superhero and we will see you in 9 days or less. We love you to the moon and back!
Love,
Daddy & Mommy

The bible verse was made by Liz at Burlap & Lovely.

I modpodged old comic book clippings to make this light plate cover.
Your little superman outfit! The shelf

bank for you at Paint a Piece. And the cute little card was made by
my friend Kim.
I made your mobile for you using yarn, felt, hot glue, and thread.
I hope you like it!
We are using my old dresser from when I was a baby for your dresser
and changing table.
We added a special touch by painting three knobs...
