Dear Baby Girl,

You are still growing and moving as much as ever! Today we got to meet your cousin Marco.  Your Aunt Daniella gave birth to him today.  He will only be a few months older than you and I imagine you guys will be the best of friends.  You are lucky to be born into a family with so many fun and loving people.  We are getting more and more excited for your arrival!

Dear Baby Girl,

You will come to learn that it is Texas tradition to take pictures in the bluebonnets that bloom every spring.  At 22 weeks pregnant, I took you to have your first experience! The weather and lighting were perfect and it was fun to see your cute little baby bump in with all the pretty blue flowers.  Next year it will be even more fun to see you in the bluebonnets since you'll be such a big baby! We can't wait!

Love,

Mom

Dear Baby Girl,

You are growing! The baby bump officially arrived this week. Mommy's belly seriously grew 3 times it's size in just the last few days. I honestly had people telling me last week that I didn't even look pregnant, and then this week, bam! I am definitely pregnant! I'm so glad you are growing though!

So far you are still being nice to mommy.  I really have nothing I can really complain about. I feel more uncomfortable than I ever remember feeling with your brothers, but that just could be me not remembering. It may turn into a really long pregnancy if I'm already feeling this smooshed and uncomfortable already though!

We had an ultrasound and you are in fact a baby girl. I know we already knew, but it was nice to verify it by seeing it on a screen.  You are healthy with no abnormalities apparent. Daddy and I have been so blessed to have 3 healthy babies with 3 "easy" pregnancies. I know a lot of families don't get the same results we have, so we are very fortunate and grateful!  And we are very fortunate and grateful that you will be joining us soon.  We are almost half way there!

Love,

Mom

Dear Baby Girl,

Today we told your daddy's side of the family that you would be joining our family.  We sent a card with the announcement and then a surprise that you are a girl!  Everyone was really excited and of course is looking so forward to meeting you.  You are so lucky to have so many people who will always love you and look out for you.  You are blessed baby girl!

Love,

Mom

Dear Baby Girl,

I can feeling you moving! I'm right at about 16 weeks and I now know for sure that what I am feeling is you moving around!  It starts off just feeling like little air bubbles and then gradually moves to kicks and punches. I love when I get to this point in pregnancy.  Its so fun to feel you moving around in there and it helps me to know that you are alive and healthy.  If you are anything like your brothers, I'll be feeling a lot of you. I hope you are nice and comfy in there and we can't wait to see you soon!

Love,
Mom

Dear Baby,

We got an exciting phone call today!  You are a GIRL! I was totally shocked when Dr Fong told me over the phone.  Like I said, this pregnancy has been so similar to that of your brothers.  I had in my head that if you were a girl, my symptoms would be totally different, but I guess I know nothing about pregnancy.  We are really excited to have a change of pace around here and experience all that little girls have to offer.  I'm also glad that you will have 2 older brothers to protect you.  You are in good hands little girl!

Love,
Mom

Dear Baby,

Today we had our first doctor's appointment for you! I am seeing Dr Fong again and his whole staff was excited to find out that we would be adding another child to our family.  They were all there for both your brothers' pregnancies and births, so again, you have even more people that care about you already!

After talking to Dr Fong and seeing you on the screen, we realized you were actually a little older than I thought you were! You should be joining our family around August 23rd.  We still aren't sure if you are a boy or a girl but we got a blood test done today that should tell us in about a week.  My symptoms with this pregnancy have been very similar to those with your brothers so I wouldn't be surprised if you are a boy.  In fact, you have probably been my easiest pregnancy yet!  Whether you are a boy or girl, we are just glad you are healthy and growing like you are supposed to!  Here is your very first picture!

You have a strong heartbeat and are a little cutie already! Can't wait to watch and feel you grow!

Love,
Mom
