Dear week 17 baby

Dear Baby,
As I approach my 18th week with you, I can't help but feel overwhelmed with happiness. The thought of you growing big and strong inside me sometimes takes my breath away.  I am continuing to do the best I can to keep you healthy, happy, and well taken care of.  I hope you know just how much everyone in this family is looking forward to meeting you and holding you!  Daddy reads to my belly every night, and he always talks to you when he wakes up, gets home from work, and when he sees you poking out of my shirt!  I love the way he loves you, because I know how much I love you already, but I am the lucky one who gets to bond with you for 9 months.  Also, Nana and Pa Higgins can't wait for you to grow big and strong and join the world in October. Nana is always asking about you, and pats my belly when she sees you! Pa always asks, "how's my grandaughter doing today?" We keep telling him, what are you going to do when you find out it is a boy!! Uncle Chris continues to send me names for you and Uncle Andrew loves to call you baby Carl.  In fact ,we all call you that for now! Am and Hampy are just as excited as everyone else! Am will ask about her "new baby" whenever we speak and even though Hampy doesn't say too much, I know he is thinking of you.

In 2 weeks we will get together as a family to find out if you are a baby girl, or a baby boy! All I ask is that you cooperate for the scan and that you are healthy, I honestly don't care either way, I'm just sooooo happy to know you are going to be ours to love.  Please continue to grow strong, healthy, and big (but not too big), and remember that Mommy and Daddy along with the rest of the family love you so much!

I can't wait to see you on May 10!
I love you little one.
Love,
Mommy
