Dear Bean,
It's hard to believe that this pregnancy is already more than halfway over! Time seems to be flying by - probably in part because your big sister does such a good job of keeping us on our toes! Every time I sit down though, I get a very clear reminder of just how present you really are. Some days it seems like you are on the go NON-STOP. As soon as I open my eyes in the morning, there you are, kicking away! I love feeling that special connection, that only you and I will ever have. What a truly awesome thing.
Love,
Mommy

Mercedes - 23 Months Old
Dear Mercedes,
Tomorrow your Daddy and I are going on vacation for a week (to Jamaica). You will be staying with Bubie and Zaidie and its the very first time you'll have been there for longer than a day or two, and the very first time we'll be SO far away from you. We are very much looking forward to our trip and we know that you will be in wonderful hands (spoiled rotten no doubt!!) but I still feel a little panicky at the thought of what lies ahead. Not least of all because we are going to miss you so very much! It's hard being away from you for one night - it's difficult to picture 7! I am already anticipating our reunion and we haven't even left yet! Here's hoping you don't punish us too much upon our return!
Love you always,
Momma

Mercedes - 23 Months Old
Dear Mercedes,
Guess what?!? You are going to have a SISTER! You may not realize now how exciting this is, but your father and I are thrilled! We not-so-secretly hoped for another girl - we love you so much that we relished the idea of another princess to spoil. Plus, my sister is so wonderful and I have such a special bond with her - I really wanted to be able to give you the same gift. I hope that you grow up to be the best of friends! You have no idea what's really about to happen to you, but you love talking about your "baby sisser" that lives in "mommy's tummy" and giving her kisses through my belly button. I can't wait to see you two in action together!
Love,
Mommy

Alexis - 19 Weeks Pregnant
Dear Bean,
I had an ultrasound this morning, and aside from telling me that you are completely healthy and absolutely perfect, they also told us that you are a GIRL!
We are so thrilled! Not that we wouldn't have been happy either way of course, but your father and I were both not-so-secretly hoping for another girl! Mercedes is just so much fun, that we both loved the idea of another beautiful princess to spoil. And of course, I have a truly wonderful sister, and a very special relationship with her, and I'd love for you and your sister to experience the same thing. Plus, we have a LOT of pink clothes already!
Love,
Momma
