Letters To My Little One | 28 Weeks In My Belly

hello sweet baby!

we have officially entered the third trimester, you and me!  only 11 more tuesdays until you are with us, and we have the cutest chalkboard countdown in the kitchen.  you are taking over more and more every day.  and by that i mean, you are growing so much!  your once tiny little kicks are now moving my entire body and i can’t help but giggle as i am typing and you shift me a little to the left and right with your mighty punches.  you are a strong little one and that makes me so happy.

with so much excitement, your daddy and i sat cross legged on the floor of your nursery, opening up baby gifts from all those who love you.  it was one of those moments that i will always remember, just me and your daddy.  we did the exact same thing when we got married.  we sat on the floor of our very first home, opening up the gifts that would help us begin our new life together…laughing and dreaming and simply being blissful.  it seemed like life couldn’t get any better, but here we are sitting together on the floor again…preparing for another wonderful adventure.  just us and you.

and well, and your little puppy brothers were there too.  they went a little ballistic when we pulled out a stuffed giraffe toy from one of the boxes.  you see, before today everything that is stuffed and adorable was considered something they could chew on.  we will all be learning a new way of life when you arrive, even the puppies.  i am sure they will capture a toy or two of yours from time to time but promise me you will forgive them, okay?  i promise you we will always buy you a new toy and this phase won’t last long, for they no longer chew my wedges so we will teach them that your toys are yours.

you are sure loved by everyone already, as we traveled back home to celebrate you at our baby shower last week.  you were spoiled from the second we walked off the plane and everyone simply adores you already.  but daddy was so ready to have us back home and, as we were flying back, he told me he hoped you would still be awake when we arrived home.  even though you were a tad bit shy and quiet during our travels, you instantly knew you were home once daddy put his hand on my belly.  i think you two missed one another, it was so heartwarming to see how you happily respond to him already after being gone for a few short days.  and after trying for a couple weeks, your daddy can now hear your heartbeat through my belly and even your little heartbeat is darling.

i better head up to your room to unpack all the lovely gifts we just unwrapped.  you were spoiled with everything from cute tiny clothes to a baby wipes warmer to keep your tushie happy during diaper duty.  bye for now, sweet little.

love, mommy
