Dear Baby,

I have been dreaming about you every night.  I dream about going into labor, delivering you, and holding your tiny little body in my arms.  I just can't wait to meet you.  So far, in my dreams, you were a boy, but in a few months we will actually find out.  I'm very excited, because your aunt Lori is going to do a little ultrasound for me tomorrow, if she has time.  I can't wait to see what you look like so far!

Lots of love,
Mommy

Dear Baby,

I've had some ups and downs this week, but I feel so blessed to have you entering our lives.  I've been reading up on your development, and you are the size of a grape, about an inch long.  I can also start to feel a round lump, about the size of an orange below my belly button when I lie flat on my back in the morning- you're growing!  We are all so excited for you to join us- even your brother!  Jack pats my tummy every day and says, "Hi, baby!" then he gives it a little kiss. I hope everything is going just right for you.  We will find out in three weeks at our first appointment.

Love,
Mommy

Dear Baby,

We've spent about eight weeks together now.  You and I went down to Texas this past week.  We got to visit with lots of family that you'll get to meet later.  They are all very excited about you.  We also visited the doctor for the first time.  They only took medical history this time, but in about a month, we will go back and listen to your hearbeat!  I can hardly wait!  I love you more everyday.

Love,
Mommy

Dear Baby,

You are growing bigger and stronger everyday.  I can tell, because I have been quite sick this week.  Even though it is difficult, not feeling well, I know every moment will be worth it.  Your Daddy and I started discussing names for you.  We have a couple that we really like, but we are waiting to find out if you are a boy or a girl before we make any big decisions.  I love you very much.

Love,
Mommy
