Baby, this week i want to say thank you...thank you for the early Christmas present you have blessed me with! feeling you moving inside me this week has been so amazing! it has made your presence seem even more real and it has given me a sense of peace. feeling you move tells me that you are doing ok in there! that you are still with me. and that is all i can ask for at this point!
we have scheduled our sonogram for January 5th, the same day as our next doctors appointment. and i must say, knowing that we will be keeping your identity a secret until your birth is causing me to have mixed feelings about seeing you in black and white (or brown and orange, as it may be) don't get me wrong, i am more than thrilled about the chance to see you moving, to see your little heart beating, maybe catch you sucking your thumb. i am so excited to have a chance to share you in that way, with you daddy and Nonna and even your brothers. but i know there will be a part of me that is just dying to know more about you, the part about you that tells me so much more than how many fingers and toes you have. its going to be tough, but i know in my heart we are making the right decision.
God placed you in my womb in his time and only he knows best about whether you shall be a boy or a girl. i am trusting in his plan and trying my best to put all faith and belief in whatever it is he has planned for our future! but know baby, no matter who you may be, boy or girl, i will love you just the same. no matter what you are a piece that completes our family puzzle. i will love you and be proud of you everyday of your life. i will protect you and raise you to the best of my ability. and most importantly i will teach you to love our Lord, because with him in your life, all things are possible!
this week you have apparently grown to the size of a light bulb...or to keep it in food terms, an avocado! you are becoming a bit more proportionate, your eyes are closer to their permanent position, as well as your tiny little ears! they even say at this point you may start reacting to voices around you...so all three of your brothers have been talking to you the last few days, introducing themselves so you can become accustomed to each of their voices! they are so excited to meet you baby!! already they are sharing their blankies (Nie-Nie's) with you. i cant wait to see them in action when you are here in our arms. they already talk about taking such good care of you!
hold on tight baby...the next few weeks may be a little rough on us, but i promise i will try to rest as much as possible. try to keep my not feeling well (like last night) down to a minimum!! thanks!
love you millions,
~ mommy
