My Daughter,
It is only a matter of weeks until you make your debut into this world. I can't express my joy and excitement enough! Your kicks are getting very strong and are getting into my rib cage. You feel a lot lower than usual so I know you are getting into position for labor and delivery. Your Daddy and I have been to three Childbirth Classes and have learned a lot about how to take care of you and what to expect the first few months of your life. They had us watch live birth videos and your Daddy told me that he was so scared for me. I won't say i'm not scared, but I am more anxious than anything I think. I am just so ready to meet you and hold you in my arms! Your Daddy told me one day this past weekend that I was a very happy looking pregnant lady. I told him it was because I have wanted you for so long now and nothing can make me sad or angry enough to ruin that for me. This pregnancy has been nothing but a huge blessing to me! Even the little bit of morning sickness and fatigue I had in the first trimester were worth every second. I remember praying that God would allow me to experience every side effect of pregnancy. I wanted to know that this pregnancy was going to be different and that everything was going to ok. The Lord answered that prayer for me and for that I am so grateful! I have had a pretty easy pregnancy I think. My least favorite part is the heartburn I still continue to get. By far my favorite part though is feeling you move inside my belly. That I know I will miss more than anything! When you get the hiccups I watch my belly jump and I swear it looks like there's a little frog in there just'a hopping around! I love it! I will be 34 weeks tomorrow so we only have two weeks till you are fully developed and can come into this world any day after that!!! I can't believe it is so soon!!! You are so loved already! Your Daddy is so ready for you to be here. He told me last night that he is so excited to have you and that you are all his! He is going to be the best Daddy EVER! I knew that though back when we were dating. He is already wrapped around your little finger! I hope to be the most amazing Mama to you. I have an amazing mother who I have watched my whole life and taken mental notes from on being a mom. She was the greatest example so i'm pretty confident in myself! Speaking of your Grammy, her and your Great Aunt are coming over to Italy all the way from Georgia to meet you! They are planning on coming on Thanksgiving Day so that will be so nice to have some family be with us on a special holiday! I wonder what day you will be born on... If you are born on the 29th of November you will share a birthday with your Papa Ru and that would be so special! He would love for his first grandbaby to be born on his birthday! So we shall wait and see! You just come whenever you are ready but know that Mommy and Daddy are very ready and excited to see you!! :) Oh we go November 3rd to take maternity pictures! I am pretty excited about that because that is how we are going to announce your name to the world! Everyone is very anxious to know your name and I am ready to yell it from the rooftop! You have a beautiful name and it means the world to me and I know it will to you too someday. It's a strong yet sweet name. It will suit you perfectly! I love you to pieces and I am so ready to meet you!
With all my heart,
Mommy
