14 Weeks ~ A Lovely Lemon

You, my sweet Baby C., have been the best baby!  You have barely made your mommy sick, although you have heightened my sense of smell and some unpleasant aromas have made me sick, but this is at no halt of yours.  I know that you are growing because this mama's body is changing day-by-day, just as you change day-by-day.     

You love Honey Nut Cheerios just like me – this is one of my childhood favorites.  More recently you have had a craving for a slight hint of coffee flavor and this, Sweet One, is your daddy in you.  He jokingly calls coffee the “nectar of life.”

My thoughts and passions for you grow every day as you grow bigger and bigger.  You have only been in my world for fourteen weeks, and yet I have dreamed big dreams for you and prayed huge prayers over you.

You are very much part of this family taking us from a petite family of two to an expanding family of three.  Oh the delight I have taken in your addition.

Please continue to grow strong and stay healthy as you develop and grow in my belly.  You are dearly loved!!

To the Moon and Back,

Mommy    

13 Weeks ~ A Powerful Peach

Dear Baby C. 

Well we have made is this far and I have had so many thoughts about you.  So I want to share them with you, recording this precious time that will culminate in your birth. 

I consider it an immense privilege to be your mommy.  Oh and you should see your daddy and the sweet tenderness he has for you already.  We are so honored to be your parents, to love you, raise you, instruct you, praise you, guide you, pray for you, and watch you grow.

Speaking of growing, you have been in my belly for 13 weeks now, and you are as big as a peach Little One.  That may seem small, but you have grown so rapidly in such a short time, developing with such strength and unique intention.  

You will continue to grow in my belly over the course of the next several months until your daddy and I are holding you in our arms.  I am looking forward to that day with excitement!   

So for now, stay where you are sweet Baby C.  Keep growing strong and know that your mommy and daddy love you to the moon and back.

Love you,

Your doting mommy
