All that growing!

Dear Don Juan,

I know you are growing because I'm getting comments here on the outside. Since you are still quiet I'm sure you are just taking your time to give me a few kicks. I thought I'd throw some advice your way while you are developing. Last night I read that colic often runs in families. Both your daddy and I were colic babies so if you find the recessive gene in there we'd greatly appreciate it. Plus, you don't want to have an upset stomach all the time. Also, if you happen to stumble upon a straight teeth gene pick that one up too; although, you may not find it. You probably won't find much in terms of height so I apologize on that one. If you do want to be a redhead you may find enough in there to have a beautiful (or handsome) mane. As your aunt and second cousins will tell you there is some teasing in the beginning, but that red hair gets tons of compliments once you hit your teens.
So as we are getting all the nurture part ready out here I thought you'd appreciate those nature tips.

Love
Mommy
P.S. Daddy is completly right that most of all we want you to pick the healthy, happy genes!! But since you are doing all that developing and have some spare time on your hands you can think about the details.

Hey Don Juan,
If your mom and dad left any of those genes for just been really special, pick some of them up too. Those seem to be dominant in your parents.
