Dear Baby...

Dear Baby...

It's me your Mommy. I just have a few things that I would like to say. First off, I already love you more than you could know. Every day I dream about what you are going to look like, seeing your smile, and holding you for the first time.

I also dream about temper tantrums and teenage fits. I guess it is normal to already worry about these things. Dr. Gillott said the worry will never stop. I am sure that I will worry about you, your happiness and your safety my entire life. I have already pictured how hard it is going to be to drop you off at college - I know I am ahead of myself but I constantly find my mind wondering to these places. I promise that once you are born I will try and live in the moment. Maybe I am thinking about all of these things now so when you are born I can focus on enjoying the day to day.

Every night I lay on the sofa with your Daddy and Penny (your four legged sister) and we wait to feel your kicks. Usually you are most active between 730pm and 830pm. Most likely you are bouncing around because I have just finished dinner and you are receiving a rush from the food. You also LOVE it when I eat Junior Mints. It feels like you are doing a happy dance in my belly when I supply you with this delicious treat!

Feeling you move around always brings a smile to my face...I promise that I will not take it for granted for the next 3 months. The last couple of nights you have definitely been making it know that you are in there. Last night I saw you physically moving around in my tummy from the outside for the first time. I called your Daddy over to watch and we stared at my stomach and laughed as we saw you thumping around for almost 20 minutes.

I am sure over the next couple of months we will start seeing more and more of you moving around. I have been doing some research and as you get bigger there is less amniotic fluid to hide your feet, elbows, and hands. Maybe we'll be able to see them through your strong kicks. That will have to do until one day I get to hold them and shower them with kisses. Okay...no more gushing mommy (for now)

Love You Already,
Mommy
