Dear Baby

My dear little one,

 I know you're in there right now working away & becoming increasingly busy with every passing day dividing cells & making up organs, basically becoming who you will eventually be. It's baffling to me that you are already YOU. At the size of only a teeny, tiny poppyseed you already are either our precious princess & little sister or our little prince & baby brother. Thus far, you have been much nicer to your Momma then your big brother was. I suppose it's possible that I may just not remember anything other then constant anxiety in those early days with your brother, but everything just seems to be milder with you. I hope this means that you are going to be as easy-going as your brother, if not more so.

The only bad thing about my lack of symptoms, kiddo, is that it almost makes your dear momma forget that you're in there. I think both your daddy & I are still having trouble believing that you truly are REAL. I promise that soon kid, it will kick in for us. Every night before falling asleep (which does seem be getting more & more early), I silently say a little prayer for you & WILL you to continue growing & thriving. Just because I'm not an anxious mess like I was with your brother does not mean that I love you any less. I think it all comes down to experience & maturity this time around. I'm wiser then I was before & I think in the long run you will definitely benefit from this. We are going to have a relaxed & quick 10ish months kiddo, I just know it! And we can't wait to meet you come October. I know daddy & I have a lot to figure out still before your arrival, but it will all get sorted in due time. So no worries, little one. You just take care of you & continue to grow. All will be well, I will promise you this. Hang on tight, baby!

Love Always,

Your Momma
