Letters To My Little One | 38 Weeks In My Belly

thursday, april 7, 2016

dear peanut,

instead of counting weeks, we are now counting days until we get to finally meet you.  and i can’t help but count the hours, at times.  even though we got to see you twice this week on the ultrasound screen, it’s just not enough anymore.  we can’t wait to see you every single day.  to hold you.  to kiss your sweet face.  to cuddle together as a family of three.  to take you on coffee dates.  to dress you in sweet outfits.  to see your first smiles and watch you try new things.  we are just too ready and it’s hard to remain patient.

you have everyone’s heart melting when you show up on the sonogram screen.  on monday, you were blinking your eyes and opening your little mouth.  and today i think we caught you in the middle of a nap, because your sweet little arm was across your face and you were hiding from the camera.  but we still captured a sweet photo of your sweet toes and it caused mommy to squeal in delight.  i just can’t wait to kiss those little piggy toes.

your daddy and i still think you are going to be a fast little one because you are constantly moving around.  not only can we feel you, but we can see you now!  your little head makes us laugh as you roll across my belly…it looks like a baseball under my skin as you squirm from left to right.  and we can feel your hands, as if you are reaching out to touch our palms.  you and daddy have the sweetest connection already.  from the moment he places his hand on my belly, you go absolutely crazy!  there is something about daddy that you just adore…but mommy has the same feeling about him so i know how you feel.

when it is time to eat and you are hungry, you kick!  and you kick hard.  i can barely get out of bed in the morning before you start kicking for breakfast.  it makes us laugh and daddy thinks you are just like me…when we want food, we want it now!  and because it was easter, you were treated to a little bit of chocolate too.  i didn’t want you to miss out on the holiday, my little easter bunny, so we enjoyed some sweet treats.

the final days before you arrive are planned to the hour.  we have haircuts for everyone planned, even the puppies.  a spa day for mommy.  and one more date night for two.  we are just enjoying the final days together before our best adventure starts.  your new life is going to be more than you ever hoped for and we always want you to know that you are our everything.  we will do anything for you.  we will protect you, guide you, listen to you, and love you every single day.  we can’t wait to be a family of three.  and until then, we will keep hugging my belly and dreaming of you.

see you soon, little chick!

mommy
