The Sweetest Sound

Dear Baby,

Your Mommy and Daddy are so relieved and so happy! Yesterday we went to the doctor.  I was so afraid that they would have bad news; that Jesus would have decided that you needed to be with Him instead of us.  But then the sonogram technician said, "You are a lucky woman, there is a baby with a heartbeat in there!"  She switched on the sound, and your family got to hear your precious little heart beating away at 167 bpm for the very first time.  I cried tears of joy and relief.  We want to have you in our lives so badly, dear baby, and I cannot wait to meet you.  Thank you for not making me too sick.  Thank you for staying strong and healthy.  I love you.  I cannot wait until I get to see you again!

Love,
Mama.

Anxious Heart

Dear Baby,
I'm not going to lie.  I'm scared.  For the past five days any symptoms I have possessed that tell me I am pregnant have melted away.  One may think that this is a good thing that I am no longer super fatigued or nauseated, but it only makes me wonder what is going on with you.... is your heart still beating strong?  Is your little life safe and protected?  All I can do right now is pray and wait.  I know that your life is in our Heavenly Father's hands either way.  I will know for sure in a week, when the doctor searches for your precious little heartbeat.  I hope to hear it thumping away, alive and strong!  I love you. sweet baby!  You are very very wanted by your family!  Hang in there so we can meet you for the New Year!

Love,
Mama

Your Presence Known

Dear Baby,

Not fifteen minutes ago, I found out you were coming.  I already love you so much.  I didn't think our little family was ready for you yet, but apparently, our Jesus does.  I know that in the next nine months I'm going to be enduring a lot to keep you alive and healthy.  But know that I will keep you safe and warm as you grow until you are ready to meet your mommy and daddy and big sister!

We love you.  We can't wait to meet you!  

Love,

Mama
