Dear Baby,

We had a fantastic Christmas!  You got a sweet little onesie and a frog piggy bank.  Next year you will be all over the wrapping paper and pulling off the ornaments from the tree. It seems like you have really stretched out this week.  I can feel you moving up in my ribs and down by my hips and around my sides all at the same time! Yesterday I could feel your hiccups for the first time.  They are so precious and tiny just like you!

Love,
Mommy

Dear Baby,

You have made this pregnancy so much simpler on me!  Thank you!  I just found out that I don't have gestational diabetes this time around, and I couldn't be more excited.  Now I can enjoy all those Christmas goodies about to come our way.  Hopefully the rest of our time together is just as pleasant and uneventful as the first little while has been.  Your Daddy and I  decided that we would each pick out a Christmas gift for you and we would open each others' gift.  Guess what- we both picked out the same thing!  You'll have to wait until after Christmas to find out what it is.  And then 3 more months until you can actually see it.  We can't wait to meet you, little one!

Love,
Mommy

Dear Baby,

I have been having lots of contractions this week.  Every time I pick up your brother, or exercise, or feel stressed I start getting them.  I saw Dr. Jones this week and he says that is fine, as long as I take it easy if I start getting too many.  I also took my glucose test today.  Hopefully I will get the results by early next week.  I'm hoping for the best, but am fully prepared to have gestational diabetes again.  Either way, I will do my very best to keep both of us healthy.  I love you very much!

Love,
Mommy
