I heard this song today, Baby Love, sat and thought of you and cried.  It was such a sweet song.  I love you so very much and can't wait to hold you in my arms. 
I felt you move last night! I felt those miracles tummy flutters when your daddy and I were watching TV.  I was so excited! Your daddy is a little jealous that he can't feel it yet but he will be able to feel you in the next few weeks!


In My Arms- Plumb

Your curly cues, your contagious smile
And as I watch, you start to grow up
All i can do, is hold you tight

Knowing clouds will rage in
Storms will race in, but you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down, waves will crash around
But you will be safe in my arms

Story books are full of fairy tales
Of kings and queens and the bluest skies
My heart is torn just in knowing
You'll someday see the truth from lies

When the clouds will rage in
And the storms will race in but you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down, waves will crash around
But you will be safe in my arms

Castles they might crumble
Dreams may not come true
But you are never all alone
Because i will always, always love you
Hey I, hey I

When the clouds will rage in
Storms will race in but you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down, waves will crash around
But you will be safe in my arms, in my arms

7 weeks

I can't believe you are almost 7 weeks old!  You are growing like a weed!  Your nose, mouth and ears are beginning to develop into what they will look like when you are born!
It's so funny.  Nobody but your daddy and I know you're in my belly.  It's like our hidden little secret that we can't wait to share with everybody we love!  Your daddy is getting more excited! He is trying to get the house and yard ready so it's safe for you to play!
We are both very excited and want everything to be perfect. 
Keep growing Baby Love!

Always and Forever,
Mommy

7 weeks

Dearest Baby Love,

I just got the news that I got the new job! That means no more stressful home visits and late nights and smokey houses. 

You are about the size of a blueberry this week! Don't worry, I will show you what a blueberry is when you get older! We might even go pick some!
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend.  This weekend is when we remember men and women who fought for our country and either died or went MIA (missing in action) or were held prisoner while serving.  Your Papaw and Mamaw are both Veteran's and we will teach you all about it when you come! I am very proud of them both. 
We are going to tell your grandparents about you next weekend! I can't wait!!
We love you!
Always and Forever,
Mommy

6 weeks!

Baby Love,

You are 6 weeks old today! I can't believe it!  I think I felt you grow some this morning!  I was cramping for about 15-20 minutes so I think it was you. 
The doctor's appointment went really good on Wednesday (5/13/09).  They took my weight and a sample and my blood pressure.  Everything was perfect.  The doctor told me after she checked me that my cervix was just right for being 6 weeks pregnant.  I have another appointment on May 22nd and I will probably have an ultrasound that day.  I'm very excited to be able to see you!!
I think the baby bump it starting to show.  Well, it's probably just me being bloated but I'm still going to pretend it's you! I'm just so excited to sport that baby bump so they whole world can see!
Daddy and I are going to eat out with Papaw tonight.  He still doesn't know though! We love you!

Always and Forever,
Mommy

Dearest Baby Love

Today you are 5 weeks and 4 days old!  You are almost at the 6 week mark!  I can't believe it! I might see you a little in my tummy.  I looked in the mirror a little while ago and my lower tummy was sticking out just a little bit.  I haven't figured out if it's you getting bigger or if Mommy is just bloated.  Either way I'm pretending it's you!
I had an interview today.  Hopefully everything works out because the job is perfect for us.  The environment is healthy and there are no late night home visits I will have to make.  So, today, I'm praying for you and that I get this job. 
Know that your daddy and I love you!


Always and Forever,
Mommy

Dearest Baby Love

You are 5 weeks and 3 days old today! There are only 22 more days until we can tell your grandparents about you!  Your daddy said we can tell your grandparents about you when you are 9 weeks old!  When you get 9 weeks old we will get to hear your heartbeat! We are so excited!

Today is actually Mother's Day.  This time next year you will be here in my arms for this day.  I can only imagine how it's going to feel.  It is going to be a wonderful journey and you are going to be then end prize for completing it.  I can't wait to nuzzle your neck and breath you in.  I already want you in my arms and dream of the person you will grow up to be.  You are our miracle already and I can't wait to take this journey and finally have you in my arms at the end. 
I woke up early this morning and couldn't really go back to sleep.  I started thinking about you.  I wondered if you are going to be an early riser, like your daddy.  I can't believe you are already a boy or a girl.  I wonder which you are!  Either way you are going to be loved more then you will ever know.  You are already loved so much that every day I wake up surprised that I love you more then I did the day before. 

I love you, Baby Love.

Love,
Mommy

Dearest Baby Love

I can't stop writing!
I just went walking with your Mamaw and Papaw.  It was great and they have no idea you're in my belly! I am getting a little out of breath when I walk but other then that most everything is pretty normal!

Here are some of my symptoms so far:
-"girls" getting sore
-my lower stomach is bloated (lovely)
-bathroom, bathroom, bathroom!!!
-getting full really fast so I eat a few small meals throughout the day
-feeling a little nauseous in the mornings but I'm okay after I eat

I love you, Baby Love!!

Love,
Mommy
