DEAR SWEET BABY

Mommy had another appointment with the midwife and I always look forward to them, because we just sit and talk about you. We discuss how I am feeling and how the sickness is and how much weight I have gained( which is 8 lbs now). I then get to lay down to listen to your heartbeat which is the highlight of the visit. Well I don't actually hear your heartbeat, because my midwife just uses the old fashion thing but she taps my arm to let me know how fast it beats. Daddy always tries to listen to you too but with him always being around the helicopter it's hard for him to pick up the beat, since it is so quite. At my last appointment while I was laying down for them to hear it you decided it was a good time for the hiccups. I absolutely loved it because I could feel every hiccup, and with the pressure of them trying to hear you it felt like you were kicking me every couple of seconds. My midwife said it was really hard to find your heartbeat, because all she could hear were the hiccups. As they were pressing on my stomach I could see them actually move with each hiccup, and we all had a good laugh. I feel you move a whole lot more now and you sure love to kick and move around. Daddy has felt you too, while mommy was lying down sleeping you kicked daddy's hand. That is always a joy for me when Daddy gets to feel you inside of me, because it makes him feel like he is more involved. Your big sister felt you move today and she just lit up and said "is that my baby." When I put her hand on my stomach you went crazy and started kicking like crazy. I hope you will always be that excited to see or feel your big sister, because she loves you so much already. She can't decide yet if she wants a little brother or sister, she keeps changing her mind. I know once she sees you it wont matter what you are she will adore you just like she did for your big brother. I am sure your big brother will be excited to see you, because it wasn't that long ago that he was with you. I am sure he will know you and love you from the moment he sees you. Mommy sure can't wait to meet you and I still can't believe I am going to have you in a few months. I don't care if you are a beautiful boy or girl as long as you our healthy. We all love you and wait for the day that we can meet you and kiss your sweet face. You are so very loved already by all of your family, and they are all just waiting in anticipation for your big arrival.

Love,
Mommy
