expectations IV

Dear Baby,

Your momma is very obviously pregnant now! I think your dad will take pictures this weekend, specifically in my most favourite jean jacket because I've reached the point where the bottom buttons won't do up. Friends and strangers seem to get quite a kick out of this.

There are a few things we know about you now: We know you're a girl! We've seen you 3 times now in ultrasounds and each time it's memorizing. We love to watch you. You move around a lot and yesterday I felt you kick so strongly that I had to stop what I was doing and sit at my desk and cry because it was so amazing. The doctors tell us you are healthy and strong, growing well with a great little heartbeat.

One day this week when I was walking home from work I thought about what it would be like to be your momma. I caught a glimpse of myself in a window and felt very proud to be carrying around a baby girl in my belly. I was overwhelmed with the feeling and can't wait to know you. I will have a daughter. That feels pretty cool, little one.

It's Thanksgiving, my most favourite time of year. This year I have oh so much to be thankful for. It feels overwhelming.

Love, Momma.
