Mercedes - 29 Weeks 1 Day Pregnant

Dear Baby Girl,

I am sorry I have not written in a few weeks. I have been very busy at work and you certainly do a great job of keeping me up at night so I am very tired when I am at home. You are growing well though (as am I!) and moving and kicking up a ton. It's so much fun to feel and see my stomach rippling from the outside.

Today we set up most of your nursery! My two dearest friends, Andrea and Lindsay, came over to paint and it looks amazing. Then we (with your dad) set up all of the furniture and bedding and even decorated the walls! It just needs a few finishing touches - and you of course! - and it'll all be done. I absolutely love the room, it looks fantastic. And I hope that you like it too. It feels so strange now to have a crib all set up in there - I keep sitting in the glider, looking at the crib, and picturing you actually here. It all feels so real - I'm actually going to be a Mommy! Your Dad is so excited too - he even bought you a Christmas present today. He is so in love with you already - we can't wait to finally welcome you home - only 11ish weeks to go!

Love,

Mommy

Mercedes - 26 Weeks Pregnant

Dear Princess,

Yesterday was your father's 29th birthday! We had lots of fun celebrating, even if I couldn't share an actual drink with him. (It's okay, I think he had enough margaritas for the both of us!)

And all I keep thinking is that by the time MY 29th birthday rolls around, you'll already be here! Time just keeps flying by. Every weekend we get more stuff ready for your big arrival. We have lots of clothes and all of your furniture already. Auntie Kimmy and Thea Melissa are working hard on your baby shower and our prenatal classes start in a few weeks.

It is so much fun preparing everything for you - but believe me, there is still TONS of work left to do. So you just keep growing in there! Although some days you lick me so much it seems like you must be running out of room in there. I don't mind though - I love feeling it. It never fails to both surprise and delight me.

Love,

Mommy
