A Note to my Unborn Child

Peanut,

In just a few more weeks we will finally meet face to face for the very first time. To be so loved before even laying eyes on you is truly an amazing thing! I enjoy the quiet time that I am able to spend with you. There is nothing greater than talking to you, and to know that you are right there with me listening. I love to feel you squirming around in my tummy. It lets me know that you are safe and warm with me. Someone once told me that it is much easier to take care of a baby while they are still on the inside and I would have to agree.

Daddy and I have been very busy getting everything ready for you. The only thing that I ask of you is to continue to grow big and strong! I love listening to your heartbeat at Dr. appointments. Your heart rate has stayed pretty consistent at 135 bpm. I had an appointment yesterday with an ultrasound. We were all a little shocked at how much you have already grown. At 34 weeks you are measuring 7.8 lbs and approximately 38 weeks. All I can say is WOW! In the ultrasound you sure looked pretty content in Mommy's tummy. You are moving all around and sucking your toes. You even had the hiccups while the camera was on you~ such a precious sight to see! You are already such a beautiful baby! Many people think that we are crazy for waiting to find out your sex, but we would not have it any other way. That makes our first meeting even more special!

Life is about to change for all of us. We are all eagerly anticipating your upcoming arrival. Just know that we already love you very much and can't wait to see you for the first time...

All my love,
Mommy
and Daddy and Griff too!
